Brian, my wife and I each have an Artic Armor suit, it is very warm and lite weight, well worth the money spent and not imported. I would like to try the suit out in a swimming pool to check for bouyancy. I did get in the shower with one on to check for leaks none were detected. Went in the Susquehanna last week while working, I can't imagine being in for any more than 30 seconds ! dang cold ! Enjoy your new suit.
