Survival suits are required on Canadian flights of this nature as well. I
trained in Mustang suits and found them to be very easy to move in
and they advertized a 24 hr survival time in 1C water. As George said, they
are also bouyant. This was back in '86, so who knows what advances
they have made in them since.
My brother lives on an island and relies on snow machines in the winter to
get on and off it. (no road access) He wears a Mustang Survival suit
under his snow machine gear because it is a given that he will be going
thru the ice at least once each winter. He has not had a problem getting
himself back onto the ice despite the bulk of the suit and his snow gear.
