Half-C Shell Suits

The Half-C Shell Suit has a StaSafe® shell style hood attached to the body of a SealTite® sleeved garment having a 50” pressure-sealing zipper closure on the back. The hood section comes standard with adjustable ratchet headgear attached to a sturdy fiberglass reinforced frame. Other headgear options are available. The double window construction allows a 17” W X 8” H cover window (20 mils thick) to rest inside a snap-enclosed pocket for easy replacement and provides excellent range of vision while protecting the permanently sealed 40 mils thick inner window. A valve-belt and hose assembly -provided with choice of fittings completes the Half-C Shell Suit. Configure the suit to meet all your needs by choosing the glove material, headgear or add options such as expanding the garment to accommodate a SCBA or an egress bottle, or adding additional reinforcement at the elbow among other options. Video demonstrations on the installation and removal of the SealTite® Sleeve Insert and Gloves are available in the SUPPORT link on our website.
