Haven't seen the episode yet but Stearns makes a line of jackets/parkas with built in life preservers/lifejackets. Check out their website. They provide the U.S. Coast Guard with all their PFD's (Personal Floatation Devices) as well.

He's no longer a member there.

Yep the PFD jackets were Stearns brand

You can see one here (found in a GIS)

Edit- Oops I thought you meant the ones they wore on the Coast Guard boat. The green one from the dive shop seems unusual. The back appears to have floats in it, but the front has way more pockets than Stearns jackets have. Not sure what it's origin is :confused

I remember seeing it a few episodes ago, and my first thought was that it was a motorcycle jacket, with spine armor etc?
