NFPA Rescue Pro Dry Suit

The Rescue PRO drysuit, detailed in this document, is the result of a collaborative eort with Canadian Fire Departments and Search and Rescue Organizations. Crafted for versatile water and ice rescue operations, this drysuit is meticulously constructed using our toughest proprietary fabric, Exhaust HD. This 4 layer waterproof and breathable nylon boasts our highest durability rating. This ensures ultimate abrasion resistance and waterproof protection.

To enhance durability and abrasion resistance in high-wear areas, we’ve reinforced the suit with 500 denier Cordura nylon. For added protection against impacts from sudden falls, high-density EVA foam padding has been integrated into the elbow, coccyx, and knee panels.

The Rescue Pro is designed with user convenience in mind and features four fixed pockets to keep essential tools within easy reach. This drysuit also features adjustable neck and wrist gaskets to tailor a watertight seal to a range of users. This revolutionary gasket system boasts more long-term durability and comfort than a traditional latex gasket.

Internally, the drysuit incorporates a removable and fully adjustable integrated suspender system for user comfort. Moreover, all seams undergo a meticulous double-taping process using a primary 22mm tape and secondary 28mm tape, creating a redundant and durable seam-taping system.

The Rescue Pro drysuit stands as a testament to unwavering durability, thoughtful design, and user-centric features, making it an indispensable choice for professionals engaging in demanding water and ice rescue operations.

UNDERSTANDING CLO VALUES

CLO is a measure of thermal insulation, indicating how eectively a garment retains heat. A CLO value of 1.0 represents the insulation needed to maintain thermal comfort for a resting person in a room at 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) with minimal air movement. Higher CLO values indicate greater insulation, while lower values reflect reduced thermal protection. This chart provides CLO values for our products in varying conditions, including surface rescue scenarios and underwater environments, where factors like water compression and layering impact insulation performance. Additionally, it highlights the negligible insulating properties of frozen water for context in extreme environments.
