ANTI EXPOSURE SUITS

Anti-exposure suits are a must for pilots and passengers flying over marine environments. Designed to replace multiple garments used to protect aircrew from individual operational hazards, the integrated suits offer protection from fire and its radiant heat, cold exposure, cold water immersion, and drowning. Our suits are both durable and flame-resistant. In addition, comfort is a top goal for all the anti-exposure suits we carry. We know you will need enhanced mobility while wearing our flight suits. Even after being significantly marred by fire or puncture, our anti-exposure suits maintain their flotation and hypothermia protection.

Each anti-exposure suit is custom-tailored to fit you perfectly. This includes measurements of chest size, hip, sitting inseam, sleeve length, and neck size. Following our simple measuring instructions we are able to reproduce a fully customized suit.

Our anti-exposure suits are made for flotation and hypothermia protection when every second counts. That’s why our anti-exposure suits are designed for use in commercial operations. Our suits are the ideal ship abandonment suit for workboats, transport vessels, drilling rigs, supply ships, steamships, and commercial fishermen. Our anti-exposure suits are also suitable for the sailing community. Each suit is meticulously crafted and pressure-tested upon completion.

Each suit is meticulously crafted and pressure-tested upon completion. To ensure that survival suits function as intended, each type requires regular maintenance. Frequent use can stress material seams, wear through waterproof membranes, stretch seals, and allow suits to be perforated or torn. Without inspection, these types of damage may go unnoticed, and cause serious degradation of the thermal protection offered by the survival suit.

An anti-exposure suit’s buoyancy stops the wearer from sinking and keeps them floating face up. Being watertight helps to keep them dry even after the whole body is immersed in water. The wetness from cold water results in body heat loss and is the greatest cause of death at sea due to hypothermia together with sinking. An immersion suit is waterproof and thus shields the wearer from cold water-body contact. Furthermore, it is also insulated to offer protection from extreme external temperatures such as during a fire.

The nature of immersion suits predisposes them to infrequent use and haphazard storage conditions. Anti-exposure suits may be exposed to many extreme temperature cycles throughout their storage life, suits may be exposed to petroleum products, and may also be exposed to salt water, causing corrosion, or salt deposits that can make the zipper inoperable if inspections are not conducted regularly. As with life jackets, immersion suits should be assigned to individuals' needs. Too small can cause discomfort, while survival suits that are too large may be worse than no suit at all because with too much material, the suit can ride up over your head in the water, trapping you in a neoprene sack with a big opening at the top.
