Suit attachments

To prevent dehydration, adequate hydration with water is essential during long missions under summer conditions.

Our suits can be equipped with an integrated 3-litre NBC‑resistant drinking water bladder pocket at the back of the suit. The main feature of this integrated bag is that no additional bag and carrying harness is needed (standard carrying systems cannot be decontaminated).

When wearing our fresh air supply on the back, an external 3-litre NBC resistant drinking water bladder pocket can be attached to the fresh air supply carrying harness.

Alternatively, each suit can also be used with our external 3-litre drinking water bladder backpack, when no other equipment is being carried on the back. Our backpack is made from the same materials as our suits themselves, making it fully decontaminable.

The drinking water bladder contained within it is permanently connected to the mask during the duration of the operation via a drinking hose. The drinking water bladder is reusable/washable and should only be replaced after direct contact with ABC warfare agents.

Moreover, the water bag can be equipped with an isolation bag to reduce the heating of the water from the sun.

Alternatively, we also offer a PET bottle adapter for use with commercially available PET bottles. However, only beverages WITHOUT carbonation should be used.

When wearing a gas-tight hazmat suit at high ambient temperature without suit ventilation, the inside temperature usually rises to 60–70 °C within a short time.

Therefore, the working time can be as low as 30 minutes under aggravating circumstances to reduce the physiological strain.

When using our ventilated suits with the integrated air distributing system and our fresh air blower, under the same external conditions, it’s ensured that the working time can be up to 4 hours per shift for up to two shifts per day with a rest period of two hours in between.

The ventilation device filters the ambient air through three standard NATO compatible NBC‑respiratory‑filters, eliminating the need for any special additional filters.

The simultaneous supply of breathable air and the associated relief from the elimination of respiratory resistance through the respiratory filter also generates increased comfort during use.

The power supply is currently provided by five conventional 1.5 V D batteries (LR20, 13A). Caution, when using rechargeable cells with a nominal voltage of 1.2V, although the operational duration (depending on the quality of the battery) can still be ensured, the maximum volume flow of the ventilation unit may not be maintained.

The fresh air supply to the suit can be reduced or deactivated for use in cold envi-ronments via an integrated throttle valve. Periodic ventilation to reduce humidity inside the suit remains available to the user.

The battery compartment has gas-tight separation from the fresh air pathways, which allows the batteries to be changed in the contaminated terrain.

The housing of the device is entirely made of an aluminium alloy and painted with a coating that has been tested for NBC resistance.

Our ventilation unit can be carried either with a backpack harness with cover (including the drinking system connector) or on the side of the field belt.

The ventilation unit is generally supplied with three air hoses, each with lengths suitable for the method of wear (side or on the back). The hoses are manufactured from our special NBC-resistant butyl rubber.

If necessary, the hoses can be protected by Protective Hose Covers.

As a fundamentally identical variant, the ventilation device SAB 87z serves as the counterpart. Differing only in the absence of the third connection including the air hose, and thus only featuring two connections for connecting to our suits, to dou-ble the suit ventilation.

For missions lasting several hours, adequate hydration is of great importance. However, when something is supplied to the body, something must typically be expelled as well.

To facilitate urination during missions, our NBC‑suits can be equipped with a urination system.

On the inside of the suit, a urine bag is housed in a specially designed pocket, which can be emptied externally during the mission.

The urine bag is connected by a silicone urine hose.

For the male genital organ, the known from medical settings urinal condom is available.

The female counterpart is currently not fully tested but already available for testing. In this case, the suit is equipped with glove pockets, allowing for handling of a stand-to-pee device (STP) within the suit.

All elements which come into direct contact with urine (urine bag, urine hose, urinal condom, STP) are consumable items and are therefore available separately from us.

Our suit hangers are custom-made to suit the specific needs of our suits, ensuring that the suits have the best chance of reaching their intended lifespan. UV protective covers for the suits are available optionally.
