Switlik scores coast guard dry suit contract

Switlik Parachute Company, Inc., (booth no. 722), comes to Heli Expo 2007 showing off the "U-Zip-It™" Aircrew Dry Suit and packing a major U.S. Coast Guard contract in their back pocket.

The U-Zip-It™ is a breathable, fire resistant dry suit which provides ultimate comfort and mobility for aviators, along with the highest level of cold water immersion protection. The low slung zipper makes donning easier than standard designs and the articulating elbow and knee patches significantly improves movement – in and out of the aircraft.

Available in Orange, Tactical Black and Sage Green, the U-Zip-It™ dry suit is currently being evaluated by other military organizations, including the U.S. Army Air Warrior Program. The U-Zip-It™ is also available to civilian aviators for fixed and rotor wing use.

Switlik is well known for their inflatable life vest product line, including Helicopter Crew Vest and SPECOPS vest. Switlik is also a significant supplier in airline rafts and passenger life vests, as well as marine inflatable products.
