Kestrel – Two Piece Lightweight Protective CBRN Oversuit

The Kestrel is a highly comfortable and highly protective two piece CBRN oversuit harnessing much of the technology used in the Phoenix Lightweight Protection suit. At around 30% lighter than conventional systems, it provides qualified CBRN vapour protection with the added benefit of water/oil repellence and fire retardant coatings, thus making the Kestrel an extremely versatile CBRN protection system for use in multiple CBRN threat environments.
