For cold room and other very cold environments
It offers optimum protection for the Torso, Arms and Legs against
the effects of spills and splashes of cryogenic material.
A bib and brace overall with long shoulder straps, with Velcro
fastening, to adjust to a wide range of heights. The waist is
elasticated. Over this fits a jacket of similar materials and this
fastens with a Velcro strip all the way down
the front. There are also Velcro fastenings on the cuffs. There are
no outer pockets but the jacket has an inner pocket. The suits are
of three layers but the inner overall omits the insulating layer
above the waist (covered by the overlapping jacket) for comfort and
to reduce bulk. The outer layer, of royal blue, woven, polyamide,
has a waterproof coating to resist condensed water on cold surfaces.
Yet it remains permeable to water vapour so that there is no clammy
condensation inside. However, it
should be noted that the stitch holes are not sealed (to reduce
bulk) and, whilst this could allow liquid ingress, it has not been
found a problem in normal use.
The middle layer is of special polyolefin/polyester micro-fibre,
which is almost twice as effective in thermal insulation as a
similar thickness of down. This minimises heat transfer without
being so thick as to be cumbersome. The inner layer is of cotton for
comfortable wear.
The Jacket has a hanging loop inside the collar, so that they may be
hung in a convenient place, away from pools
of condensation, when not in use.
