Details:

• Encapsulated Level A garment design is our highest level of protection from liquid splash and vapor/gas exposures for both the wearer and respiratory equipment.

• Double taped seams provide strong chemical resistance against heavy liquid splashes. A sewn seam is covered, both inside and outside of the garment with compatible chemical-resistant material by heat-sealing.

• Expanded anti-fog face shield provides a wide 220 degree viewing angle. EX faceshield is a three-layer laminate, composed of 40 mil PVC/5 mil Teflon™ / 20 mil PVC.

• Front entry design allows the wearer to partially don the suit (maintain standby position) without assistance.

• Expanded back to accommodate self-contained air breathing apparatus (SCBA).

• Vapor tight zipper. Extra long to increase garment opening and aid donning and doffing.

• Storm flap covers the zipper which can be secured by the wearer with rugged hook and loop material to prevent intrusion.

• Attached internal gloves composed of five layer laminate film for a broad range of chemical protection.

• Butyl gloves provide mechanical and physical durability to help protect the inner glove. Gloves are attached with a vapor tight ring and clamp system and are replaceable.

• Integrated socks composed of garment material.

• Attached flaps are designed to cover boot tops to help reduce potential for liquid intrusion.

• Two exhaust valves release higher pressure inside encapsulating garments while simultaneously helping to prevent inward leakage of external vapors or particles into the garment. One-way valves are positive pressure and open on demand. 

• Valves include splash covers made of barrier material to help prevent liquid intrusion. Valves are located on the left back of head and the right lower back. 

• Internal adjustable waist belt system for support and improved fit.

• Additional barrier material sewn at knees and over taped for added abrasion resistance when kneeling or crawling.

• Each suit has a unique serial number and is fully tested at time of manufacture including positive air pressure integrity testing per ASTM F1052.

• Manufactured under specifications that do not contain natural rubber latex.
