I have never seen a survival suit. But you mention convection. I wear a wetsuit while surfing in Western Canada (Tofino, BC). So if the suit traps water than it probably start acting like a wetsuit[1] .

- ColinWright 11y agoExactly so, but a survival suit is intended to be a dry suit (when used properly) so the mechanism is not identical. However, when water does get inside, it heats up, gets held in place by your regular clothing underneath, and then the suit acts like a hybrid.
