Mustang's continuing efforts to
provide our customers with the best comfort and highest protection
from the hazards of flight have resulted in a three piece integrated
garment that reduces heat stress in the cockpit, and protects
against flame, immersion, and
hypothermia hazards,
whether on land, in the air or in the water.
The improved entry system makes
single person donning and doffing much simpler. The patent pending
CCS™ Closed Comfort System adjustable neck seal, and redesigned
neoprene wrist seals improve the comfort of flight crews during
extended missions. Their proven durability results in extended
service-life when compared to that of traditional latex neck and
wrist seals used by other manufacturers of traditional dry suits.
MODULAR DESIGN
The three piece modular design of the MAC300 makes repair or
replacement of any component an easy task. A simplified
interconnection system between components facilitates assembly and
disassembly, minimizing "down time" when performing routine
cleaning, maintenance, or repairs.
The Outer Shell is constructed of a 6 oz. Nomex®
IIIA that provides an anti-static, flame resistant
barrier to protect the wearer whether refueling an aircraft or being
exposed to hostile flight operations where the dangers of cockpit
flash fires may exist. High wear areas are strategically reinforced
with leather to provide improved service life. Easily detached from
the Immersion and Thermal modules, the Outer Shell
can be zipped across the back and worn separately as a flight suit.
The Immersion Suit module
provides dry suit performance. Combining the same patent pending
CCS™ Closed Comfort System neck seal and improved neoprene wrist
seals found on our MSD900 with GORE-TEX®
BEST DEFENSE - a waterproof, windproof, breathable fabric designed
to reduce heat stress, and fatigue - the Immersion Module
maximizes thermal and immersion protection. A vertical waterproof
relief zipper is designed to facilitate both male and female crew
members. When integrated with the Outer Shell and Thermal
Liner, the MAC300 provides a stirred (calm) water Clo value of
0.78.
Immersed Clo 0.78
The Thermal Liner is
constructed of Mustang's patented breathable closed cell foam. The
foam liner is engineered with multiple apertures, then quilted using
a wicking fabric and thread designed to pull excess moisture vapor
(sweat) away from the wearer's body.
All of these features lead to life
cycle cost savings when compared to traditional dry suits designed
for flight crews.
Hypothermia Protection:
When tested on a thermally insulated manikin, the MAC300 was
measured at 0.78 Immersed Clo in calm (stirred) water, with the neck
and wrist closures secured and the thermal protective hood and
inflatable gloves donned.
Flame Resistance: The
MAC300 Constant Wear Aviation Suit's Nomex®
layers provide outstanding protection from fire. The thermal liner
also provides additional protection against radiant heat. Together,
the MAC300 integrated system offers superb performance without
compromising comfort.
Flotation: The MAC300
provides an inherent buoyancy of approximately 23 lbs., size, fit
and underclothing dependent. This is designed to be well below the
35 lbs. maximum recommended for ditched helicopter egress, yet more
than the 15.5 lbs. minimum buoyancy required for a personal
flotation device (PFD).
