Viking SRS suits have been developed as a result of customer requests to provide protection for users such as fire rescue teams, coastguard, environment agency teams and other water borne personnel who are not divers, but are working on, near or above water. SRS suits are ideal for shallow water wading operations. Made using the same materials as our trilaminate diving suits, but without valves fitted.
- Lightweight flexible materials.
- External stitched seams
- “Vulca Seam technology” ensures watertight seams for the life of the suit
- Helps to protect the wearer from water borne biological contaminants
- Easy to clean biological contamination from surface
- Front entry adjustable torso for ease of operational comfort
FABRIC
Two material options are available as follows:
450 g/m2 Cordura textured outer / Butyl midply / Polyester inner. Light and strong. Good puncture and abrasion resistance.
350 g/m2 Nylon outer / Butyl midply / Nylon inner. Lighter and more flexible than Cordura. Equally good puncture and abrasion resistance. Smooth close knit exterior surface.
COLOUR
Cordura and Nylon: Black legs with black top, Black legs with yellow top, Black legs with red top.
SOLAS reflectors are fitted as standard to the front and back of wrists, upper arms and backs of legs for visibility.
SEAMS
External seams stitched together. Internal seams are chemically treated and then an uncured rubber tape is applied to the seams using heat and pressure. Finally the suit is placed inside a vulcaniser whereby the rubber tape becomes cured into the material surface. This is known as “Vulca Seam technology”.
REINFORCEMENTS
VTS material is inherently abrasion and puncture resistant. Shaped “Superfabric” knee pads featuring flexible cut and abrasion resistant guard plates are fitted to the legs above and below the knees. Drain holes are also fitted to the pads.
