Floatation devices

How would you classify best.
I used to jump at aDZ that required FDs, we used aqua boys (sp?) but they were merely cosmetic, as they would be unlikely to save even your rig......

In Canadian waters the "best" flotation is a dry suit, with a Mustang floater suit being a close second. Drowning might kill you in Canadian waters, but hypothermia will definitely kill you!
I remember what a struggle it was for Canadian Navy helicopter pilots to don their dry suits so I doubt if any skydiver would take his survival that seriously, so we return to basics: checking the winds, looking before you leap and watching where you are going under canopy.
