Rescue and Survival Equipment

 

 
The TRI-SAR is the finest professional grade helicopter hoistable rescue harness with dual recovery capability. It is the first harness designed to combine the security of a full body harness, comfort of a seat harness and safety of integrated flotation. The newly designed full body harness is constructed primarily of MIL-SPEC Types 8 and 13 nylon webbing and features exclusive low profile, quick adjusting stainless steel hardware. When hoisted, the upright slightly reclined seated position allows total use of the rescuer's hands. Ideally suited for rapid deployment-type missions in swift/cold water or cliff type rescues. The Tri-Sar
incorporates newest techniques in weight distribution for superior comfort due to our unique design and full support offered by 3" wide leg and waist straps versus the heavy, bulky pads. Our integrated flotation vest features a low profile easy to swim in design, with user variable buoyancy up to 35 lbs. Flotation cell is encased entirely in a heavy weight, puncture/abrasion-resistant nylon case. Due to its encased design, the cell requires no repacking after use; simply deflate. Inflated manually with CO2 or orally with air. Available in Orange or Black. Generous storage pockets for critical rescue and emergency equipment are provided. Orange vest has SOLAS grade retroreflective panels.

Utilizes a 33 gram CO2 cylinder #484
