Suits can be made with the Gemini fast entry front horizontal zip. This allows rapid unassisted entry of the suit, and excellent mobility. They are currently used by the New York Fire Department Special Rescue Unit and the FBI.

If it's not listed above we probably still do it. Please call us to discuss what you require.

Seals
Any type of seal can be fitted to any type of suit. We would be happy to advise on the most suitable for your use.

Pockets
We can supply pockets for radios or other equipment to your specification.

Torches.

As well as being waterproof to 300 metres they are extremely reliable and robust, have 10,000 hour bulb lives and burn for many hours on one set of batteries. We have versions with one led that are ideal for signalling and will burn for months and others with up to 20 led's that provide a strong torch light. They still run for hours on full power and don't go out when you drop them. They are very reasonably priced as well. Please call for more info.

Repair Course

The course provides instruction in the replacement of seals, testing and assessment of suit condition. Any one attending will come away with a working knowledge of suit repair. On completion a certificate of competence is issued.

The course might be regarded as valuable in as much as it ensures there is a competent person available to asses suit condition with regard to any issues that might arise from your obligation to maintain PPE.

Courses are run over two days for two to four people.

If you want to do your own repairs, we can supply all the tools, adhesives and spares required.
