Subject: RE: Cold water risk
I read recently of a company in the uk called Aquion who make dry 
suits.   They have recently launched a heated undersuit which uses a 
battery pack similar to those used on canister type dive lights.   
The undersuit had several electrically heated pads positioned on 
varios areas such as the legs and lower back.   The temperature, from 
what i understand, is regulated by an electronic circuit whose 
operating temperature is set via a pc interface.   I am not sure how 
the unit would respond in the event of a suit flooding , i don't know 
if it would simply shut off or wether each of the elements is 
sufficiently insulated to alow it to continue operating.

Hope this idea helps,

John
