The anti-exposure coveralls have an orally inflated PILLOW for better flotation angle.

• A. Pillow
• B. Neck Collar
• C. Hood
• D. Belt

Answer: (A)

An orally inflated pillow inside anti-exposure coveralls is a buoyancy element placed higher on the torso to adjust how you sit in the water. When you inflate it with air from your mouth, it increases buoyancy at the chest area, tilting your body into a more favorable angle for flotation—typically keeping your head and airway higher above the water. This head-up position helps with breathing, reduces the chance of water flooding the airway, and aids heat retention in cold water. The other components serve different purposes (neck support, thermal protection, or waist adjustment) and don’t specifically change the flotation angle in the same way.
