An insulated flotation garment comprising:
- a fibrous insulation element;
- and
- a flotation element;
- wherein the insulation element and the flotation element are joined together and fashioned into the shape of a garment.
An insulated flotation garment comprising an insulation element and a flotation element joined together and fashioned into the shape of a garment, wherein the insulation element comprises at least one layer of unbonded and unquilted silicon treated continuous filament fibers and outer layers of chopped staple synthetic fibers intermixed with the continuous filament fibers, and a fabric liner.
An insulated flotation garment comprising an insulation element and a flotation element joined together and fashioned into the shape of a garment, wherein the insulation element comprises at least one layer of unbonded and unquilted silicon treated continuous filament fibers and outer layers of chopped staple synthetic fibers intermixed with the continuous filament fibers, and wherein the flotation element comprises a thin layer of low density polyethylene with a large number of tiny air pockets, the thin layer of low density polyethylene being laminated to a shell layer of nylon.
An insulated flotation garment comprising an insulation element and a flotation element joined together and fashioned into the shape of a garment, said insulation element comprising at least one layer of unbonded and unquilted silicon treated continuous filament fibers and outer layers of chopped staple synthetic fibers intermixed with the continuous filament fibers.
An insulated flotation garment comprising:
- a fibrous insulation element comprising fibers;
- and
- a separate flotation element;
