I can tell you that I purchased one of the Mustang
survival suits on Ebay a while back.  This one
belonged to a rural fire department, and it appeared
to be in reasonable condition.  One of the seams was
gone and required repair.

Although this suit would be a wise thing to have
onboard a vessel intended for offshore, this suit
would be useless for a kayak.  It was simply too bulky
and stiff.  On the other hand, if you were on a
sinking sailboat, you'd be glad to have it.  It would
most definitely extend the time before hypothermia
sets in.

I noticed that the dry suit in the ebay listing came
with a fabric liner.  If the liner is in decent shape,
the liner alone may make the purchase worthwhile.
