PHORCYS II Immersion Suit

The Phorcys Suit is crafted from a neoprene foam composite material with glued seams, ensuring high durability and waterproofing. Equipped with an inherent buoyancy pillow at the back, this suit is designed to be worn without an additional life-jacket. A watertight zipper provides a secure seal for waterproof and thermal insulation performance. In tests, the wearer’s body temperature decreased by no more than 2°C after 6 hours of immersion in water temperatures of 0-2°C.

Product Performance Parameters

The suit withstands extreme temperatures, with no damage or degradation observed after 10 test cycles alternating between -30°C and 65°C. Test subjects were able to don the immersion suit independently within 2 minutes in calm water at temperatures between 0°C and 2°C, even after extended exposure to -30°C. After 24 hours of immersion, wearers’ body temperatures remained within 2°C of their baseline.

Design: Self-supporting buoyancy, suitable for use without a life jacket.

Gloves: Three-finger neoprene gloves for added dexterity and insulation. Each suit complies fully with

SOLAS requirements, including all current amendments. Once manufactured, each unit undergoes a rigorous air-tightness test to ensure performance standards are met before packaging and distribution.
