An outdoor survival garment to protect a wearer from sustained exposure to cold weather on land or at sea, that enables the wearer to communicate distress signals from a lighting system utilizing solar collectors to provide electricity to heating elements and light emitting diode leads disposed at the ends of fiber optical leads, comprising:

• a garment having front and back portions and an integral connection therebetween;
• said integral connection includes a pair of shoulder connectors adapted to extend across the shoulders of the wearer to define a neck opening therebetween;
• at least one separate, releasable connecting strap disposed on and adapted to connect said front and said back portions over each side of the wearer;
• a first flotation means disposed within said front and back portions to floatingly support a wearer of the jacket in a body of water;

• inflation means carried within said garment to selectively inflate said inflatable bladder;
• an outermost compartment disposed in a front portion of said garment that houses a fiber optic lead immediately in the inside of the outermost compartment, and which houses an LED lighting means underneath a fiber optic lead to collectively provide lighting means;
• at least one battery in a lowermost section of said back portion of said garment to supply power to said fiber optic and said LED lighting means;
• an array of photovoltaic solar cells contained within a fiber optic container disposed at a top most section of said back portion of said garment in electrical connection with and serving to repower said fiber optic and said LED lighting means;
• at least one electrical heating element contained within a layer within a lining next removed from an inner most compartment that extends from said front and said back portions of said garment and includes heating coil wires;
• and, wherein said battery is in electrical connection with said electrical heater element to supply said electrical heater element with power.
