Allilgator shirts = springtime, romance, invulnerability?
Super bowl ads.
This nice-looking ad for alligator shirts (marketer = Izod) depicts a woman paddling alone in icy water in a covered-deck sea kayak. She's wearing gloves and a nice sweater, but she has no PFD (life-jacket) and no self-rescue gear.
If a person like her, paddling without a TV crew nearby, capsized, her life expectancy would be about five minutes.
This kind of media depiction causes people to die. Alligator shirts aren't good protection against cold water, or stupidity.
