Approved for survival!A person's chances of survival in cold water diminish drastically if they-cannot maintain their body temperature at an optimal level for as long as possible. That's why Plastimo has created an immersion suit that dramatically increases the chances of survival in the event of hypothermia, thanks to its high buoyancy index. The suit's buoyancy and watertightness are ensured by its 5mm-thick, CR-reinforced neoprene design. It's also flame-retardant, as this neoprene has excellent resistance to fire (and hydrocarbons). The Plastimo neoprene wetsuit acts as a lifejacket, with a buoyancy rating of 150N. This 150 Newtons certification is designed for offshore sailing, and guarantees a turn-over on the back in less than 5 seconds. It also ensures that the wearer's head stays on its side or back, even if he or she is unconscious. Finally, the Plastimo neoprene survival suit is fully insulated and SOLAS-approved. This means it will prevent the wearer's body temperature from dropping by a maximum of 2°C in water between 0°C and 2°C, for up to 6 hours! |
Equipped to save your lifeSOLAS approval and the 150N buoyancy standard mean that this Plastimo immersion suit considerably increases your chances of survival in cold water in the event of a fall. There are also a number of other features that will increase your chances of survival and rescue:
All these safety features have been designed to provide better protection against the cold and make it easier to spot, without impeding the wearer's movements. ⚠️ To comply with regulations, the Plastimo neoprene survival suit must be equipped with a SOLAS light system. |

Questions / Answers (5)
Is a survival suit-mandatory on board a boat?
Hello Gautier, a survival suit is not systematically compulsory on board a boat. It depends on the type of boat, the activity and the sailing area. Here are the main cases:
- Pleasure boating: The survival suit is not compulsory, but can replace your lifejacket or lifejacket armband if you are sailing within 6 miles of the coast, in accordance with Division 240.
- Professional use: You must refer to Division 331 to find out whether it is mandatory. But it is in these cases (water temperature below 15°C, vessels subject to the SOLAS convention). If you must buy a wetsuit, buy one that complies with the SOLAS standard.
How long does my wetsuit protect-- against hypothermia in cold seas?
Hi Lionel, the wetsuit prevents a maximum 2°C drop in body temperature for the wearer in water between 0°C and 2°C for 6 hours.
Can the suit be put on-t-quickly in an emergency?
Hello Sylvie, the suit is designed to be put on quickly in an emergency situation. It can be put on in less than 2 minutes by a trained person, without external assistance, as required by the SOLAS standard.
Nevertheless, practice putting it on at least once.
Does the wetsuit also protect-- against wind and sea spray?
Hello Pierre, yes, the Plastimo survival suit provides effective protection from wind and spray. Its 5 mm neoprene acts as an insulating barrier, limiting wind chill and humidity. The integrated hood, sleeves and booties prevent infiltration, offering complete thermal protection on the surface, even when exposed to the elements.
How do I maintain and store my survival suit Plastimo?
Hello Kévin, to maintain a survival suit Plastimo, rinse-it with fresh water after use, let-it air dry in the shade, and lubricate the zipper regularly. Store-in a dry, cool, dark place, preferably hanging or rolled without folds. Check its condition at least once a year.
