The Search Suit has been designed specifically for personnel involved in searching for and clearing of mines and terrorist explosive devices. Although the Search Suit does not offer the higher protection of the EOD Bomb Disposal Suit, it is much lighter in weight, provides all-round protection, whilst at the same time being comfortable to wear and allowing virtually unrestricted movement.
The outer material of the Search Suit is constructed of fire-retardant Nomex IIIA and includes the latest Kevlar new technology fibres.
The Search Suit contains a pocket into which an armoured steel plate can be inserted. The steel plate is an optional extra.
