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.

FABRIC
255 g/m2 Nylon outer / Butyl midply / Nylon inner. Light and flexible. Good puncture and abrasion resistance. Smooth close knit exterior surface.

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”.

REINFORCEMENTS
The Viking WRS material is inherently abrasion and puncture resistant. Additional reinforcements are however fitted as standard to the knees and elbows.

FOOTWEAR
5mm canvas-lined neoprene boots are standard. Alternative options: Nitrile safety boots, PVC wellies, latex socks, or VSN socks if the suit will be worn with overshoes.
