It's an uphill battle. But to put out a bulletin saying that a PFD is the best way to avoid dying in cold water without even a mention of suitable clothing is irresponsible and thats what caused me to write the reply. PFDs are important - hell, mine cost $200 - but all they do is help keep you afloat; they don't protect you from cold water. Of course, it makes recovery of the body much easier.
