Details

Designed with input from elite SAR teams and instructors, the Operator LX Dry Suit with Internal Bibs is a high-performance search and rescue dry suit that's extremely tough, yet remarkably light. Updated with a new internal bib system and Delta Three Oscar™ P12 Knee pads.

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 bib system

The bibs include a zip pocket for storage, an open top mesh pocket in front for quick access, and an elastic band to stash the sleeves when you’re on shore. Sleek, low profile, and unobtrusive Duraflex buckles allow rapid donning/doffing and quick adjustment.

Protected by D3O®

Self draining external knee pad pockets contain removable Delta Three Oscar™ P12 Knee pads by D3O®, the world's leading protection company. The Delta Three Oscar™ P12 Knee pads are ergonomic, lightweight and flexible while providing vital cushioning on impact. 

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.

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 Gasket Protection

Neoprene neck and wrist overcuffs protect the latex gaskets from UV, sharp objects, abrasion, and act as a semi-dry seal in the case of a gasket tear.

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.
