The same clothes as the guy in the back of the canoe, the blue shirt and the blue life vest with pockets and a collar, plus a pair of 6 inner button jeans for Y-back non-elastic tan suspenders with brown leather ends, a blue on outside, tan on inside reversiable poffy down vest. You think thats a good combination for warmth, comfort, funtion, safety, and all around chapness.
the reason i went with a down vest instead of any other jacket is because a jacket would restrain your arms, and it would be much harder to paddle, and a down vest is best because its comfy, doesn't restrain, keep you warmer than a fleece vest. And if your gonna ask about the suspenders, and poke fun at me for looking like a lumberjack, well, i can't have my pants fall down, suspenders asure that definatly.
And it is about late november in michigan, so for all the clothes i said, yes. I know that a down vest is heavy, but a jacket would be worst. plus, i would wear my life vest at all times, so the pants and vest won't kill me. Everything i wanted is good for a reason. the shirt is for my arms to be warm, the jeans for my leg, the suspenders are so the pants dont fall off, the down vest is for warmth and anti-restraint, and the life vest is for just in case. everything works, and hopefully the down vest won't get wet. And will be very hard for it to get wet by paddleing, since most of it will be covered by the life vest.
Certainly someone has to make a few good points about these clothes, the only way my down vest could get soaked is if i fell out, and it could dry with in a couple of hours, all i would need to do is dry off very, very well, and the dampness will dissapear with my body heat. wet jeans won't give me hypothemia, only if they are wet with ice cold water for hours. and for the last time, this will be in cold months, not in the summer. please, from now on, please post good coments on this topic. And i dobt that wet jeans, boots, suspenders, shirts, and a down vest could over power a very exalent life vest and swiming about 30 feet.

Comfortable??? yes....right up to the point you flip the canoe then watch how quickly the jeans drag you under with the weight of water. Unless you are sure to be wearing your pfd. Down is utterly worthless when wet. for a top go with capilene by Patagonia. It is my favorite top. ...warm as can be and dries in 0.2. I have taken water over the front of my kayak and the shirt was dry on the inside in 2 min. no joke. It's ability to wick water away is amazing. Of course I am guessing you are doing this in cool weather hence the Down vest. So another option is wool. yes it is very heavy when wet but it looses non of its insulating qualities when wet. Pants...go with something thin like a hiking pant in a synthetic. Not as warm but if you wear some capilene long undies underneath then you should be just fine.

and its very stylish as well

I've been an outdoor adventurer for almost 40 years, many of them as a guide and outfitter and have taught many people how to equip themselves for comfort and safety. Yes, the previous answers have it right -- the outfit in that ad is about as dumb as you could possibly come up with for canoeing. Jeans are an absolute no-no in the woods and on the water. They will get soaked almost immediately and never dry. They are also too binding for such activity (don't believe me? Take your soaking jeans out of the washer, put them on and try to ride a bike. And button-fly? You've got to be kidding!). Down-filled anything is worthless for water sports. A bag of wet feathers is neither fashionable nor warm. You don't have to spend a lot of cash or look un-stylish. You could get most of what you need at Target or any sporting goods department. I've picked up great-looking gear at thrift stores, as a matter of fact. A pair of baggy swimtrunks or cargo shorts (made of nylon or polyester, NOT cotton) and a polyester long sleeved t-shirt or thermal underwear top (you can push up the sleeves) is a good base. Wear an old pair of nylon and mesh (not leather) athletic shoes or sport sandals with acrylic or wool cushioned socks (again, NO cotton). Add a pair of lightweight nylon blend long cargo pants and, if you are camping overnight, pick up a cheap pair of polar pile warm up pants for wearing on cool evenings. The only cotton you might take would be if you are paddling in hot weather -- then a long-sleeved lightweight cotton shirt with a collar can be useful to protect your arms and neck from sunburn and, if you soak it and wear it, it will keep you cooler. Add a zip-front polar pile jacket or pullover, a couple of cotton bandanas plus a nylon or poly windbreaker. Add a baseball cap or brimmed fishing hat, wraparound sunglasses and you be stylin', dude.

If you wear that outfit in the dumb commercial all the cute girl paramedics in the rescue squad will be mocking you when they have to airlift you out with hypothermia.
