NRS Extreme SAR GORE-TEX

NRS Extreme SAR GORE-TEX: Maximum Protection for Frontline Professionals

Extreme SAR: Designed for Frontline Deployment

The NRS Extreme SAR GORE-TEX drysuit represents the pinnacle of waterproof technology. It is designed to withstand rough handling during rescue operations, in fast-moving currents, and in extremely cold water. The innovative GORE-TEX® ePE (expanded polyethylene) membrane is more environmentally friendly (PFAS-free) and reduces the carbon footprint, while maintaining the legendary durability, waterproofness, and breathability you expect from the Pro series.

Construction and Materials: GORE-TEX® ePE and Cordura®

When it comes to rescue equipment, the quality of materials is a matter of life and health:

• GORE-TEX® Pro membrane with ePE: 100% waterproof, highly breathable, and made from recycled fabrics. It ensures that you’ll stay dry and comfortable even during prolonged physical activity.
• Cordura® Reinforcement: Strategically placed panels made of extremely durable Cordura® fabric on the elbows, knees, and seat protect the suit from abrasion caused by rocks, boats, and rough terrain.
• Integrated socks: Made directly from GORE-TEX® fabric for maximum foot protection and compatibility with neoprene or hiking boots.

Outfitting and Safety Features

Every detail of this suit is designed to maximize safety and functionality in the field:

• TIZIP® MasterSeal Front Entry: A high-quality, 100% waterproof zipper for easy putting on and taking off, complemented by a practical zipper cover (relief zipper). Both are covered by a sturdy protective flap.
• Joint Protection: Removable Ethafoam padding on the knees and elbows that effectively absorbs shocks when moving over rough terrain or performing rescue techniques.
• Latex cuffs: Neck and wrist cuffs made of high-quality latex with adjustable Velcro closures. They allow for easy maintenance, adjustment of the tightness, and quick replacement in case of damage.
• Safety features: Highly reflective SOLAS tape ensures excellent visibility in low-light conditions, in fog, or during nighttime operations.
• Modularity and Storage Space: Velcro panels on the shoulders for attaching rank insignia or identification tags (compatible with NRS Rescue Placards) and two large cargo pockets on the thighs for essential gear.
• Inner braces: The integrated three-point harness system keeps the suit perfectly in place even when fully loaded with rescue equipment.

Appropriate Activities and Professional Commitment

The NRS Extreme SAR is designed for the most critical situations:

• Professional Search and Rescue (SAR) Teams: Fire and rescue departments, water rescue services, and military units during operations in cold water and fast-moving currents.
• Extreme Water Sports and Expeditions: For demanding riders who require absolute reliability on long expeditions in remote and cold regions.
• Professional guides and instructors: Who spend entire days on the water and need to be able to rely on the breathability and protection of their gear.

Care and Maintenance of a Professional Dry Suit

Investing in a high-quality suit like this requires proper care to maintain its functionality and longevity:

• 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, as this could damage the latex and the membrane.
• Zipper Maintenance: Clean the TIZIP® zipper regularly and lubricate it with a special silicone lubricant to ensure it remains 100% 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.

Technical parameters and specifications

Size chart (men's)

To ensure maximum functionality, breathability, and safety, it is critically important to choose the right size. The suit should be neither too tight (which restricts movement and reduces breathability) nor too loose (which increases the risk of snagging and reduces thermal comfort).
