Smooth Operators Only. Now with Internal Bibs.
When chaotic scenes and harsh conditions arise, the Operator Dry Suit is eager to be put to work. A ruggedized design with a modernized feature set—including the new internal bib system and Delta Three Oscar™ P12 Knee pads by D3O®—transforms this SAR dry suit into an invaluable tool in the rescuer’s arsenal.
New developments in the Operator Dry Suit includes an internal bib system for all day comfort and security. The bibs include a zipped pocket for storage and a mesh pocket in front for easy access. An elastic band helps keep sleeves secure when the dry suit is unzipped.
The specialized nylon-outer shell fabric provides superior abrasion resistance and added durability, yet remains incredibly lightweight and breathable, aiding in the rescuer’s endurance.We’ve enhanced durability further in high-wear areas like the knees and the seat with abrasion-resistant nylon.
Crucially, the Operator Dry Suit now includes removable Delta Three Oscar™ P12 Knee pads by D3O®, the world’s leading protection company. The Delta Three Oscar™ P12 Knee pads deliver critical, flexible impact defense and are easily accessed via an external sleeve. Their ultra-lightweight design ensures effortless movement while providing maximum cushioning on impact.
