Have you considered wearing one of those instant-inflate co2 life vest? Then you could wear whatever suit you wanted without the weight of added floatation. I also walk everywhere and I’m considering this option.
I would never use one of those in the winter. the water is too cold and it will not inflate right and in the event it does it can be too restrictive and cut your air off by compressing your chest with all your layers on.
