Kent Commercial USCG SOLAS Immersion Suit, Orange

The Kent Commercial Immersion Suit is a universal orange USCG and SOLAS version, complying with SOLAS 7/2010 and MED with hi-vis yellow detailing.

An immersion suit is survival equipment rather than flotation. It keeps a person alive in cold water for hours, where a life jacket only keeps them at the surface while hypothermia does its work. In northern waters the difference between the two is measured in hours of survival time.

SOLAS 7/2010 compliance and MED approval, marked by the Ships Wheel, are what allow the suit aboard commercial vessels rather than only recreational ones. Universal sizing means one suit fits a range of crew, which is what makes stocking a vessel practical rather than sizing every individual. Explore more immersion suits and flotation apparel.
