The concept of a layered protection system is relatively new within the CBRN PPE space. The key features and benefits are:
- The ability to build up suit layers to match the chemical threat
- To afford a greater comfort level for the end user by not ‘over-protecting’
- To offer a layered system which fully integrates
- To offer high permeability and pair permeability where appropriate
- To extend protection up to a greater level of liquid and aerosol protection
The Avocet therefore combines this flexibility with many of the features of other suit systems within the OPEC CBRNe family:
– Exceeds NATO AEP38 requirements
– Minimum 10 year shelf life
– 20 times launderable
– Comfortable with low thermal burden when required- extending to moderate comfort affording high specific threat protection
– Available in a range of colours and camouflage patterns
– Water and oil repellent
– IRR feature if required
