Exposure suit?
How effective is that thing? I had to wear one of those damn Navy Poopy
suits flying a T38 out of NATC Pax River. If I had to go into the
Chesapeake Bay in December, I think the damn thing gave me an extra 5
minutes before I froze to death. Severely restricted stick travel as
well and took a half hour to get into! :-))

A full wetsuit would be a better bet.
Insulation and floatation built in

Oh that poop suit is a full wet suit all right. I'm only glad I'll never
have to get into one again :-))
