Every NASA astronaut who goes into space is wearing an inflatable life preserver from Mustang Survival.

FEATURES

• Standard 2mm neoprene suit packs into its small nylon case for convenient storage on-board aircraft

• Specifically engineered for use in long range maritime patrol and transport aircraft, but also performs well as a helicopter passenger suit

• It is fitted with a horizontal across-the-chest waterproof entry zipper for easy self-donning

• High stretch, soft latex seals at the neck and wrists

• Seals are replaceable by technicians at the unit level

• Insulated, 3 finger thermal protective gloves are provided in readily accessible storage pockets on the sleeves

• An insulated thermal protective hood, stored in the thigh pocket, can be donned to minimize heat loss

• Adjustable straps at the waist and ankles gather in excess suit material for a close fit

• Integrated boots will accommodate regular footwear

• The carry case assists in maintaining the compact size of the stowed suit with three circumferential suppression straps

BENEFITS

• Suit insulation is provided by a closed cell expanded neoprene, laminated to a stretch nylon facing on front and back
• The neoprene insulation is buoyant waterproof, hydrostatic compression petroleum, oils, and lubricants
• The nylon facing provides good resistance to abrasion and puncture, and allows for easier donning
• Foot soles are available in soft textured neoprene, or rigid non-slip for passenger issue and regular use

HYPOTHERMIA PROTECTION

• The quick-donning immersion coverall is an insulated, watertight dry suit

FLOTATION
