SeaWind high-tech survival suit receives triple certification for demanding work environments

By Michelle Froese | April 17, 2015

The SeaWind survival suit has been developed to meet extreme situations, including the demanding conditions of working on wind turbines

The SeaWind survival suit has been developed to meet extreme situations, including the demanding conditions of working on wind turbines.

With its unique triple certification and high-tech details, the SeaWind immersion suit breaks new barriers with its many fields of application. Never before has a survival suit achieved such a wide range of certification, with triple approvals from SOLAS, ISO, and EASA. The flexibility and wide range of applications makes this Norwegian-made suit from Hansen Protection the first choice for many occupational groups and professionals. The suit is ideally tailored for demanding and varied work environments, including the conditions faced in servicing and maintaining wind turbines.

SeaWind offers optimal ergonomics and meets the needs of discerning workers so they can move freely without restrictions around their knees or seat. The dry suit weighs less than two kilograms, and has waterproof zips under the arms to provide ventilation for active workers. The hood and gloves can also be placed in convenient pockets when working.

“Users will find that it is possible to have the suit on for long periods without discomfort. We find that workers want to have maximum flexibility and take responsibility for closing the suit,” said Product Manager Knut Åsle.

A SeaAir EBS Emergency Breathing System is also integrated in the SeaLion Europe life jacket. This system makes it possible to start breathing under water. In addition, the suit is equipped with a floating buddy line hook, which is a unique feature to Hansen Protection.

Features include:

  • Easy to don dry suit with feet
  • Flexible waterproof zips
  • Pit-zips (zips under the arms) for increased ventilation
  • Highly breathable GoreTex
  • Reinforced exposed areas
  • Stow-away-hood on the back for maximum ease of use
  • Specially designed and manufactured for maximum freedom of movement
  • Super soft neoprene cuffs at the neck and wrists
  • Clean front and back for easy integration with harness and life jacket
