Immersion suits

[roly_voya]

Just managed to get a helecopter ditch suit ex north sea oil industry - Gortex, includes hood, boots, gloves neck and wrist seal, used to see these going second hand quite often but not seen any for some years. Problem is I need a second one for the crew - anyone seen anywhere selling them recently

Macsalvors, a company based at Redruth, Cornwall often have them for sale. You can call them on 01209 212125.

Edited - they are shown on their web site at http://www.macsalvors.com

Good luck,

One of the suppliers in the North Sea sold off a whole load a year or so ago in the classified section of the PBO. Try Googling Survival One - they are the lead supplier now in the North Sea.

The one for sale in Macsalvors looks like the ones which zip up the front which are more comfortable but are liable to let water in around the neck.

we who use them as a matter of course, call them body bags.
