I'm trying to work out why you're quoting this. It was wet and cold. Are you suggesting he should not have put it back on? In those conditions, not wearing a survival suit is tantamount to suicide. Are you suggesting he dry it out first? Well (a) it would take too long, and (b), how?

So what are you saying? Have I missed something?

  My question is - why did not he take off his life suite as 
  soon as he get out of the water? Since t was filled with 
  water, having it on your body will only increase effect of 
  freezing, no?
^ he posted this, he is wondering why he didn't keep it off. And yeah, he was suggesting that he should not have put it back on.

Which would have immediately warmed back up with his body heat and acted as an insulator.
