survival suits

Emergency flotation gear

Survival suits are insulated, waterproof garments designed to keep a person alive in cold water.

They seal at the wrists, ankles, and neck to prevent water entry and provide buoyancy.

Standard equipment on ships and offshore platforms, they buy crucial time for rescue in emergencies: We practiced getting into our survival suits in under sixty seconds.
