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 :-))
One of my students (years ago) spent a summer in Antarctic
Part of his job (research) was counting livestock under the ice.
In a 3/8 inch full wetsuit !!!!
That's what you call a "cool job" :-)
