Survival Suits

What is a Survival Suit, Immersion Suit, or Anti-Exposure Suit? 

According to SOLAS regulations, survival suits are classified as follows:

Anti-Exposure Suit = Cold-water protection suit / Survival suit

Immersion Suit = Immersion suit

The primary purpose of survival suits is to enable the wearer to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining vital bodily functions. In maritime environments, where accidents at sea unfortunately do occur, survival suits are an essential piece of protective equipment for seafarers and fishermen. 
These suits are designed to keep individuals afloat on the water’s surface, ensuring that they remain visible and can be rescued quickly and safely.

A key feature of survival suits is their ability to protect the body from extreme temperatures. In cold waters or icy environments, they provide insulation to prevent hypothermia, while in warmer climates, they are engineered to avoid overheating.

Modern survival suits often come with additional features such as integrated lifejackets, signaling devices, and emergency lights. These significantly enhance visibility and survival chances in critical situations.

Care and Maintenance of Survival Suits

Proper care and maintenance of survival and immersion suits are crucial to ensure their performance, longevity, and reliable protection in an emergency.

Regular Inspection: Check your suit frequently for damages, tears, or wear. Pay special attention to seams, zippers, valves, and cuffs for leaks or deterioration. Buoyancy chambers must be inspected to ensure they are intact, can be inflated properly, and hold air without leakage. Damaged parts such as zippers, valves, buoyancy chambers, or cuffs must be replaced with original spare parts as recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaning: After each use, especially after exposure to saltwater, clean the suit thoroughly. Use warm water with a mild detergent or a special cleaning solution for survival suits. Clean the outer surface with a soft sponge or brush, paying attention to heavily soiled areas. A small brush can be used for seams and zippers. Avoid leaving any residues. The interior should also be checked for moisture or odors and wiped down with a damp sponge. Always allow the suit to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material damage or mold.

Zippers and Closures: Apply the recommended lubricant regularly to zippers and closures to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.

Documentation: Keep a record of all maintenance and cleaning activities, including the date, type of work performed, and any replaced parts. This documentation helps track the condition of the suit and ensures timely planning of future maintenance.

By consistently following these care instructions, your survival or immersion suit will remain fully functional and provide the essential protection you need in emergencies.
