Hiko Safety: Professional dry suit for rescue workers and demanding conditions
Safety: Comprehensive Protection in Extreme Conditions
Hiko Safety was developed with an emphasis on maximum reliability and durability. It provides comprehensive protection for the entire body against moisture and cold, even during extended periods in the water, making it the ideal choice not only for professional rescue teams but also for demanding paddlers, canyoning enthusiasts, and whitewater paddlers who refuse to compromise on safety.
Construction and Materials: Airfour 4-layer and Cordura 500D
The quality of materials is crucial for the durability and protection provided by rescue equipment:
- 4-layer Airfour material: A top-of-the-line laminate with outstanding technical specifications: a water column rating of 25,000 mm and a moisture vapor permeability (MVP) of 15,000 g/m²/24 h, ensuring dryness and comfort even during intense physical activity.
- 500D Cordura Reinforcement: Exposed areas, such as the elbows, knees, seat, and integrated socks, are reinforced with extremely durable 500D Cordura nylon fabric, which is highly resistant to abrasion, tearing, and chemicals.
- Fully taped seams: All critical seams are precisely heat-sealed and taped to ensure 100% waterproofing.
Outfitting and Safety Features
Well-designed features for maximum practicality and safety in the field:
- Front waterproof zipper: High-quality Velcro fasteners positioned diagonally across the shoulder make it easy and quick to put on and take off the garment without assistance from another person.
- Double-protected cuffs: The latex seals at the neck and wrists are covered with a layer of neoprene, which increases their resistance to mechanical damage and improves thermal comfort.
- Doublepull System: An innovative waist-adjustment system in which tightening the straps at the front simultaneously tightens them at the back, ensuring a perfect and even fit of the suit against the body.
- Adjustable length: Internal suspenders (telescopic chimney) allow you to adjust the suit to the optimal length based on your height.
- Modularity: The suit is designed to accommodate the installation of a drain valve, if necessary, for rapid water drainage during more demanding operations.
Appropriate Activities and Professional Commitment
Hiko Safety is designed for the most critical situations:
- Professional emergency services: Fire and rescue departments and the water rescue service during operations in fast-moving currents and cold water.
- Canyoning and Whitewater Rafting: Maximum resistance to abrasion from rocks and reliable protection against the cold during challenging descents.
- Expedition paddling: Complete protection against wind, rain, and cold water during long hikes in remote areas.

Care and Maintenance of a Professional Dry Suit
Proper care extends the service life of the membrane and seals:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in saltwater or dirty water, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with clean fresh water.
- Drying: Dry inside out in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Never dry in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Zipper Maintenance: Clean the waterproof zipper regularly and lubricate it with silicone lubricant to ensure it remains watertight and operates smoothly.
- Latex Protection: Treat the cuffs with talcum powder or a special glycerin-based product to prevent them from drying out and cracking.

Expert advice: With a survival suit like the Hiko Safety, properly tightening the waist with the Doublepull system is key to preventing water from entering when tilting or performing an Eskimo roll. This system is very effective because tightening the straps in the front simultaneously tightens the back, which eliminates unwanted air pockets. Remember that the lifespan of the latex cuffs is directly proportional to regular maintenance: after each use, rinse them, dry them, and treat them with talcum powder. Thanks to the 500D Cordura reinforcement, this suit is exceptionally resistant to abrasion from rocks during canyoning descents or rough handling during rescue exercises.
