immersionsanzugs

Immersionsanzugs, also known as immersion suits or survival suits, are specialized garments designed to protect individuals from hypothermia in cold water environments. They are typically made from waterproof and insulated materials, such as neoprene or polyurethane-coated nylon. The primary function of an immersionsanzug is to trap a layer of air against the body, providing thermal insulation and preventing heat loss when submerged.

These suits are usually one-piece, covering the entire body from head to toe. They often feature integrated boots and gloves, and a waterproof zipper or closure system to ensure a watertight seal. Many immersionsanzugs also incorporate buoyancy aids to help the wearer stay afloat. They are commonly used by personnel working in maritime industries, such as offshore oil rig workers, fishermen, and commercial mariners, as well as by individuals involved in water sports or activities where the risk of falling into cold water is present. The design aims to provide a degree of mobility while maintaining essential thermal protection for survival in survival-critical situations.
