Switlik outfits USCG with dry suits
Switlik Parachute won a contract to provide its U-Zip-It aircrew dry suit to the U.S.

Switlik Parachute won a contract to provide its U-Zip-It aircrew dry suit to the U.S. Coast Guard. The dry suit, which can be viewed at Switlik’s booth (No. 722), features a low-slung zipper that makes the suit easier to slip on. To help aviators move more freely, the suit includes articulating elbow and knee patches.

According to Switlik, the U-Zip-It is being evaluated by the U.S. Army’s Air Warrior program and other military organizations. The dry suit is made of breathable, fire-resistant material available in orange, tactical black and sage green. Switlik is also showing its compact one-man inflatable single-place left raft (ISPLR), 500 of which have been delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard and 300 to the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
