The PKI 9825 Search Suit has been designed specifically for personnel involved in searching and clearing of mines and terrorist explosives devices. As a lightweight search suit, it fills the gap between our Bomb Protection Suit and conventional clothing in cases where maximum protection is not necessary or where greater freedom of movement is required. It is suitable for most EOD search projects, affording a high degree of ballistic protection whilst not encumbering the wearer unduly. The outer material of the PKI 9825 Search Suit is constructed of fire-retardant NOMEX III and includes the latest KEVLAR fibres technology. A steel plate is available as an optional extra.
