The Whites MOS SAR Swimmer Drysuit in Red and Black is a made-to-order surface-water drysuit designed for search-and-rescue swimmers, public-safety personnel and military teams. The Maritime Operations design emphasizes mobility, comfort and dependable dry protection for demanding water-rescue environments.

A Captive Flex Panel around the waist improves flexibility while swimming, climbing, boarding boats and performing shoreline rescue tasks. The design is intended to accommodate a broad range of swimmers while preserving operational mobility.

The suit combines a 200-denier nylon upper section with a 400-denier nylon lower section. Durable 500-denier nylon overlays reinforce the knees and shins for additional abrasion resistance in high-wear areas.

A YKK AQUASEAL polyurethane dry zipper provides the primary waterproof closure. A separate YKK AQUASEAL polyurethane convenience zipper adds practicality during extended training sessions and rescue deployments.

The SI TECH modular sealing system includes a permanently attached Quick Neck ring with a replaceable Polytex bellows neck seal. Quick Cuff wrist rings use replaceable Polytex bell-shaped wrist seals, allowing damaged seals to be replaced without permanently gluing new seals directly to the suit.

A MOLLE plate on each thigh accepts compatible Compak, Fold-Down or other mission-specific pockets. Pocket installation is optional and should be selected according to the equipment-storage needs of the swimmer or rescue team.

Integrated multi-laminate ProSocks are designed for use inside compatible rescue or water-operation footwear. Internal suspenders and a drysuit storage bag are included.

The MOS SAR Swimmer Drysuit is certified to ISO 24232 Protective Clothing—Protection Against Rain, with Class 4 water-penetration resistance and Class 1 water-vapor resistance.

Available options include SAR, RESCUE or custom identification patches, 3M reflective armbands, a brass dry zipper, Comfort Boots, MOLLE pockets and silicone seals in place of Polytex seals. The specific size and selected options should be confirmed before production.

Where this suit fits

The MOS is a very comfortable suit, and several of the larger teams around us use it and love it. It is not as easy to decontaminate, so it is at its best in clean water. This is the surface rescue version, for crews working on and at the surface rather than diving.
