Flotation Suits

A Baltic Flotation Suit has the ability to protect against the first shock of entering cold water.

The Flotation Suit then traps water inside the suit and, by the same principle as operates with a wetsuit, the body heats the trapped water.

All Baltic Flotation Suits have been tested and approved by the accredited test institute Force Technology to EN393 and EN ISO 15027-1.

One of the test criteria is that five people, each wearing a flotation suit, are immersed in water at 15°C for 2 hours. During that time, they must not lose more than 2°C core temperature. The test subjects wearing Baltic Flotation Suits lost only 0.8°C.
