Hansen Protection presents high-tech survival suit: «SeaWind» breaks new barriers

Never before has a survival suit achieved such a wide range of certification, with approvals from SOLAS, ISO and EASA. The suit is tailored for both demanding and many varied work situations.

Many years of intensive development by Hansen Protection in Norway has yielded results. SeaWind is the world’s first survival suit to be approved for helicopter transport, shipping and work use.

Triple Certification

SeaWind has been certified by SOLAS, ISO and EASA. As such it has been approved for most any demanding work situation.  No other survival suit can claim to be suitable for such a wide range of applications as SeaWind.
Hansen Protection has worked relentlessly for a long time to be able to be the first to offer a survival suit that is approved for work, shipping and helicopter transport. To achieve the helicopter transport approval the company has had to fit the suit with a lining, and it has to be worn with a SeaLion Europe lifejacket.

Emergency Breathing System

The SeaAir EBS Emergency Breathing System is integrated in the SeaLion Europe lifejacket. This system makes it possible to start breathing under water. In addition, the suit is equipped with a floating buddy line hook, which is a feature unique to Hansen Protection.
