    Good video. Brings back memories of Usmc water safety survival training and cold weather training.

    But I hate that material that it is lined with....has a tendency to "stick" to some of your clothing. But good stuff, its light, coveralls made my shoulders and torso tired after wearing them all day.

    I'm not that sure on this but my understanding is that those floating Arctic Armour suits are not considered as life jackets - so if you are wearing a floating suit and don't have a life jacket on board you can get gigged if checked by a CO.

    You are correct but still the suit will keep you up better than a life jacket

    I wear Arctic Armor too. It is the warmest stuff i have put on. They claimed it floats, but i did not want to put all my eggs in basket on their word. So..... I jumped in! they do work, just as advertised!

    Yes I tested it out in the summer of 13 I think you could jump in with and anchor and you would still float.. Yes it is very warm. Need to wear breathable base layers under the suit..
