If
you are going to fly over water
that is of hypothermia causing temperatures, consider an Imperial Immersion Suit as inexpensive
insurance.

FEATURES:
Three fingered mitt to
keep your fingers warmer.
*Note: Suits should not be fully donned if in the wheelhouse or small
aircraft,
but tied to the waist. This is a precaution to prevent entrapment.
Two zipper tab pulls
on zipper
Each located at top and bottom of zipper. This cuts down on your
donning time by allowing the zipper to be pulled straight up.
Wide legs to allow
quick donning.
Gives you the ability to don with shoes or boots on. Ankle straps to
aid in walking.
Toe valves to purge
excess air
Face Seal is soft and
flexible making it comfortable to wear.
Back straps keep the
rings in place.
There's more
reflective tape on the Imperial suit than is required.
Suits are true to size.
Please try any suit on before real life use.
Sturdy carrying bag
with two handles
One handle on the side and one on the bottom for quick donning. Quality
bag snaps are used on the immersion suit bag to help prevent corrosion.
FAQ's:
Does the Imperial Immersion Suit
float?
The Imperial Immersion Suit provides
floatation that is more than adequate for most people. These
suits have a minimum of 22 lbs of buoyancy and will float while full of
water.
How should I wear the
Imperial Suit while not in the water?
The manufacturer
recommends that a passenger/pilot wear the suit over the legs in
anticipation of trouble. In this configuration, one can put the
rest of the suit on in 8 seconds with a little practice. Wearing
the immersion suit fully would become very uncomfortable as it is designed to fit
loose
and be very warm. The manufacturer adds that it is possible to
donn
the entire cold water immersion suit in 20 seconds with training. This is why the
Imperial
Suit consistently wins immersion suit competitions.
What should I wear
under the Immersion Suit?
Wear what is
comfortable but appropriate to the
conditions you are likely to encounter if you were to have to ditch.
If
you are expecting cold water, wear cold weather gear underneath.
However,
you can wear as much or as little as you deem appropriate. Unlike
a wet
suit, these suits are not form fitting and are not designed to be.
If they
were tight, they would be impossible to put on in an emergency.
What if I cannot get
them on until I am in the water.
Though not as effective as if you were to stay dry, any water that
enters
the immersion suit will be warmed by your body. The 5 mm thick neoprene
will then insulate
the ambient water from the water contained in your suit. Valves are
included
in the feet of the suit to allow you do drain excess air and water
prior to exiting
the water.
