DescriptionThe SeaRescue Responder is a water-rescue drysuit engineered to the DEFRA Flood Rescue Concept of Operations for emergency services and flood-response teams. It is intended for long shifts in cold, fast-moving, debris-filled and potentially contaminated water. The design focuses on safety, mobility and ease of decontamination: breathable trilaminate fabric with reinforced knees, seat and elbows; long diagonal front zip for easier donning and doffing; covered zip and minimal exterior fittings to reduce snag and contamination risks; latex neck and wrist seals; integrated adjustable braces and an elastic back panel to provide a true unisex fit across seven sizes; reflective strips at wrists and ankles to improve visibility in low light. Sock-style footwear is integrated for compatibility with rescue boots and the minimal external profile allows rapid on-scene decontamination and repeated use in flood and swift-water rescue operations.
