Mustang Survival®, Inc. MSD901 Industrial Dry Suit
Things you should know
Application
The MSD901 industrial dry suit may be used in lieu of traditional dry suit
and anti-exposure work suits when a suit of greater durability, comfort and protection
from exposure to cold is required. The MSD901 provides inherent buoyancy as well as
protection from exposure to cold temperature, wind, sea spray and rain.
WARNING
For optimum performance, it is recommended that users wear polypropylene underwear
beneath the MSD901.
Configuration
The MSD901 provides hypothermia protection and inherent buoyancy using three
interconnected modules to form a single system. Each module can be repaired or
replaced individually. The first module incorporates Mustang’s patented breathable foam
(United States Patent No.5267519 and Canadian Patent No.2082793); it is a thermal
liner that functions as a second layer of protection and provides inherent buoyancy. The
second module is the immersion module and provides the suit with watertight integrity
and the equivalent protection of a dry suit. Constructed of a waterproof and breathable
(moisture vapor permeable) fabric GORE-TEX® BD6.5®, this module’s sleeve openings
maintain watertight integrity with neoprene seals. The immersion module’s (United
States Patent No.6,668,386 and Canadian Patent No.2,381,720) neck seal is constructed
of a waterproof, breathable polyurethane/polycarbonate-coated nylon stretch material
and is closed via an adjustable, elastic drawstring system that effectively seals water
outside the module and provides comfortable wear. Sock-type feet are integrated into
the legs. The third module is the outer shell urethane-coated nylon shell which provides
a durable water-resistant barrier to wind, sea spray and rain. This module is vented
allowing the suit to breathe. The knee and seat portions of the outer shell are reinforced.
An integral foam-lined hood provides protection both in and out of the water.
