When its your job to save lives, live up to the challenge.Falling overboard into frigid water has always been every seaman's nightmare. The rescuing of a fellow crewmember overboard is a daunting task. This innovative life saving equipment is designed for use by a trained surface water rescue swimmer.
Continued advancements in safety gear now makes man-overboard rescue swimming possible. Donning the Ocean Rescue Dry Suit with built in hoist harness a fellow crewmember enters freezing water, swims tethered out to several hundred feet. Cautiously approaches, outfits and secures the victim in buoyant protection that is hoistable.
Each Offshore Rescue Suitsuit is completely waterproof with water tight hood and integral gloves, and attached boots. Most importantly, the flotation and insulation performance of Mustang AirSoft™ foam allows users to immerse themselves for long periods of time in icy cold water and maintain mental and physical capabilities.
The IC9001 OS comes with attached rubber gloves, boots with non-slip rubber soles and reinforced/padded knees. This suit is 45% lighter than other rescue suits as it is made in a high visibility welded nylon shell.
