Viking WRS
water rescue suit
The Viking WRS is a water rescue suit with non-adjustable torso, made from a very light material. The suit provides protection to users such as fire rescue teams, coastguards, environment agency teams and other water borne personnel who are not divers, but are working on, near or above water. These suits are ideal for shallow water wading operations. Suits are front entry for ease of operation and comfort.

COLOUR
Black legs/black top, Black legs/yellow top.
High visibility reflectors are fitted as standard to the zip flap, wrists,upper arms and rear of legs.
SEAMS
External seams are folded and stitched to lie flat. 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".
