Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Survival suits

Cold water immersion suits are the gumby style and are thick neoprene. The Mustang work suit like you see the Coasties wear have closed cell foam sewn into them and offer more floatation as well as greater range of motion but don't have boots sewn in and they have a looser collar so you get more water intrusion and thereby less insulation. Like a wetsuit getting wet isn't the problem because you can heat that thin layer of water but you don't want the water cycling through your suit as that defeats any insulating properties you'd otherwise get.
