I'm not really a 'proponent' of using a wetsuit as a survival suit, but
would suggest that the wetsuit is far far better than nothing

Jump in the water in your wetsuit and get wet.....

Now, crawl out on the dock (simulates getting out of the water into the
life raft....You DO have a life raft, right?).

Sit on the dock in the WET wetsuit and freeze to death from the evaporation
inside and outside the draining wetsuit

Uh huh. And you think this is a problem? You think wet suits have to be
immersed to be warm? Try it yourself, that is not the case.

Been there, done that, wiped sweat off brow ;)
