The Whites FLOOD Cache Breathable Surface Drysuit in Yellow and Black, Size 1 is a purpose-built public safety drysuit designed to simplify outfitting support personnel during large-scale floods, storm response and other surface-water operations. Its broad sizing range allows agencies to protect more responders without purchasing individually fitted technician-level drysuits for every team member.

A patent-pending internal suspender system automatically adjusts to variations in torso length, torso girth and leg length. This adaptable design allows the FLOOD Cache to accommodate a wide range of body types while maintaining a secure fit and comfortable freedom of movement.

The suit is constructed from durable 320-denier PFAS-free waterproof and breathable nylon. The breathable fabric supports ventilation during active flood-response operations while helping protect the wearer from rain, spray and surface-water exposure.

A front-entry polyurethane dry zipper makes the suit easier to put on, close and remove. The quick-adjust neoprene neck seal can be loosened during standby and secured when operations begin, while trim-to-fit neoprene wrist seals allow the fit to be adjusted for the individual wearer.

Integrated waterproof breathable socks are designed to be worn inside appropriate operational boots. Reflective shoulder patches improve visibility, and the bright yellow-and-black exterior helps personnel remain easier to identify during low-light, poor-weather and large-scale emergency operations.

The FLOOD Cache is supplied in a UV-protective storage bag, making it well suited for departmental caches, emergency-response trailers and equipment that may remain stored between deployments.

This surface drysuit is certified to ISO 24232 Protective Clothing—Protection Against Rain, with Class 4 water-penetration resistance and Class 2 water-vapor resistance. It is designed and fabricated in Canada.

The FLOOD Cache is intended for support personnel operating in flood conditions. Whites specifically positions it as supplemental protective equipment rather than a replacement for its STORM Series technician-level drysuits. Departments should select equipment based on the responder’s assignment, training level and expected operational hazards.

The Size 1 FLOOD Cache fits responders approximately 5'0"–5'11" tall and 110–210 pounds. Proper fit, appropriate thermal insulation and operational training should be confirmed before use. The suit has no inherent buoyancy and must be worn with an approved personal flotation device.

Where this suit fits

The Cache suits are designed and priced to be a cached suit, or a truck suit. They are not assigned to a particular member. For swiftwater emergencies a team issues them on an as-needed basis to whoever is going in the water.
