Hansen Protection has developed a new survival suit which helps rescue personnel save precious time
Careful selection of very comfortable materials, close attention to flexibility in usage and the ability to produce to tailor-made specifications are all good reasons why Hansen Protection expect a lot from their new survival-suit, the “SeaAir Europe Pilot Suit”
The SeaAir Europe Pilot Suit is a totally new suit from Hansen Protection that completes their line-up of Aviation Suits. The Norwegian company has, until now, been lacking an alternative for helicopter crews, and the new suit means they now have a very competitive solution.
“The users’ daily lives will be improved because the construction, choice of materials and the ability to produce to tailor-made specifications opens up for a fit and ergonomics that are exceptional,” claims Product Manager Kunt Aasle.
“The typical users work in the cockpit and have different tasks that places high demands on the suit’s flexibility. The suit has an ideal fit, and the combination of lightweight and breath,” explains Åsle.
“Adjustable Neck Seal” is the name of the new neck closure used for the first time on a survival suit. This solution allows the user to vent through the neck seal when it is in standby mode.
