Details

Designed with input from elite SAR teams and instructors, the Operator Semi-Dry Suit is a high-performance search and rescue semi-dry suit that's extremely tough, yet remarkably light.

Features

High-Performance Fabric

Four-layer waterproof/breathable nylon shell is lightweight and extremely durable for unimpeded movement in fast paced, demanding operation. High-wear areas like the seat and knees are reinforced with an extremely rugged, four-layer heavyweight nylon for added protection where it’s needed most.

Integrated Suspender System

Internal suspenders keep the suit securely in place. Slim, low profile, and unobtrusive YKK™ front release buckles allow rapid donning/doffing and quick adjustment.

Removable EVA Knee Pads

Internal knee pad pockets contain removable OccuNomix Speed Collection lightweight, flexible EVA foam knee pads. 

Durable Dry Zippers

Flexible YKK™ Aquaseal® #10 main entry and relief zippers deliver dependable dryness at half the weight of traditional metal coil dry suit zippers. T-grip zipper pulls allow for easy operation.

Easy Access Storage Inside and Out

A 4”x6” sleeve pocket and 7”x7” self draining pleated pocket on the right thigh provide easy access storage on the exterior of the suit. An internal phone sized pocket on the inside of the suit on the left thigh that can be accessed through the relief zipper provides dry storage for water sensitive items. 

Extreme Low Light Visibility

2” Oralite® M82 SOLAS retroreflective tape at the wrist and legs offers enhanced long distance visibility, reflects in all weather conditions, and is designed to stand up to harsh marine conditions.

Neoprene Semi-dry Neck and Wrist seals

Neoprene neck and wrist seals provide a more comfortable semi-dry alternative to latex neck and wrist seals.

Developed with Elite SAR professionals

The Operator Dry Suit was designed and developed with the direct feedback and testing of highly specialized teams including RTF, US&R, pararescue aviation and military personnel.

Reusable Packaging

In an effort to reduce plastic consumption, this suit comes packaged in a reusable bag.
