IMMERSION SUIT SERVICE

Any undetected damage of an immersion suit can compromise its performance. Make sure your marine rescue gear is operating at top condition by scheduling an immersion suit service with LRSE. Our technicians are highly qualified to conduct inspections, maintenance and repairs.

What does your immersion suit require so it will work when you need it?

You can survive in an immersion suit in extremely cold water for long periods of time. As an immersion suit gets older the fabric can break down naturally. Once the suit starts to deteriorate, buoyancy is lost. With age a suit's glue can deteriorate causing leaks.

At LRSE we can test the suit to make sure it will save your life. When we service an immersion suit we do a pressure test and look for leaks. We also lube up your zippers and perform small repairs.

Once a suit is old enough for repairs—approximately 12 years—it is probably time for a new suit.
