Crewsaver has launched a range of three new immersion suits - the Endurance 140N, the Endurance and the Latitude 140N.
The waterproof, thermally insulated suits are designed to keep crew alive in the water after abandoning ship.
Crew Endurance
Crewsaver’s brand new Neoprene Immersion Suit is made from the latest fire retardant, oil-resistant waterproof 5mm neoprene fabric designed for to give crew the optimum chance of survival in cold water. Providing outstanding thermal protection, this totally watertight suit locks in heat and maintains the core body temperature at a safe level for a minimum of six hours.
Fully SOLAS and MED compliant, its seams are tested for waterproof integrity and the zip is military-tested. Integral three-finger gloves allow dexterity in emergency escape situations.
The suit can be unpacked and donned in under two minutes.
Crew Endurance 140N
This suit shares the quality construction of the Neoprene suit with added safety features for survival in the most extreme conditions.
The new head and face support and protection system is a foam head support which keeps the head above water while a double-layer 5mm neoprene face flap is fully integrated with the tailored hood to retain maximum warmth.
Its safety aids will help rescuers find the wearer of this highly visible, bright red suit. There’s a pocket for a personal locator beacon and retro-reflective tape and a whistle to draw the rescue services’ attention.
The Optimum suit’s sturdy integrated lifting strop with stainless steel D-ring allows quicker retrieval from the water at a time when every second counts.
Crew Latitude 140N
Made from tough, flexible Terylene + TPU fabric with a waterproof zip, this lighter-weight suit shares many features with the Latitude 140N, and offers an alternative to a neoprene suit for those operating in warmer climates.
With 140N of buoyancy there is no need to don a lifejacket, saving vital seconds when abandoning ship.
Its thermal protection matches that of the Crewsaver Optimum and Neoprene Survival Suits, and this suit also has an integral foam head-support face seal, adjustable ankle straps, 5mm neoprene gloves, a whistle, buddy line, lifting strop and reflective tape. An optional light can also be fitted.
