I posted something relevant in another thread- but its certainly useful here. theres a new jacket/pants combo called ARTIC ARMOr that is fully flotational, and hydrophobic(!) meaning that it floats like a cork, and actually repels water. I've had mine on a coupla times now and its unbelievably warm with full freedom of movement too (WAY better than the old arhartt suit I was using). It wasn't exactly cheap (about $340 for parka and bib pants) but it'll serve double duty on the boat this spring and fall as well. lets hope none of us has to give it a 'true test'.......see my other thread for more info and links/video description
