COOLING SUIT

The Holdfast Cooling Suit is designed to offer a safe and cool environment for people who must maintain a high level of efficiency and concentration under extreme heat. The system is ideally suited for people involved in bomb disposal and surveillance operations as well as personnel in non-air conditioned armoured vehicles.

The Holdfast Cooling System used ice water to remove body heat produced during strenuous work, especially in hot environments.

The suit requires no hazardous pressurised canister or toxic cooling agents. Made from machine washable, fire retardant Nomex or Kermel, The Holdfast Cooling Suit also offers protection against heat and flash fire. Testing of the effects of over-pressure, fragmentation, ballistics, body impact and heat shown this suit is suitable for use under bomb suit, chemical suit and many other applications where body heat removal is desirable.
