First Watch AS-1100 Flotation Suit - Hi-Vis Yellow - Large

The First Watch AS-1100 Flotation Suit in Hi-Vis Yellow, Large is a purpose-built anti-exposure flotation system engineered for mariners, rescue personnel, and water-based tactical operators working in cold-water or extended maritime environments. This suit addresses a critical gap in water safety gear by combining buoyancy, thermal protection, and high-visibility signaling in a single integrated platform. Whether deployed during search-and-rescue operations, maritime patrol, or commercial diving support, the AS-1100 delivers the redundancy and reliability demanded by professionals who depend on their gear in life-or-death situations.

The suit's pre-curved, articulating knee and elbow design enables natural movement without the restrictive bulk typical of traditional flotation gear, a critical feature when conducting water entries, exits, or dynamic rescue evolutions. The hi-visibility yellow colorway ensures maximum optical detection in fog, low-light conditions, or debris-filled water—essential for recovery operations and aerial spotting. Built to endure the abrasion and stress of working water environments, this flotation suit weighs 4.6 pounds and packs to compact dimensions (12 x 6 x 20 inches), making it portable for patrol boats, rescue craft, and emergency response vehicles without consuming excessive storage space. The articulated construction allows the suit to conform to your body during extended wear, reducing fatigue and maintaining core warmth even when partially submerged.

Law enforcement maritime units, Coast Guard personnel, fire/rescue dive teams, and commercial mariners operating in cold-water zones benefit most from the AS-1100's integrated design. The large sizing accommodates personnel wearing tactical base layers, flotation carriers, or additional thermal protection underneath, maintaining functionality across diverse operational loadouts. Compatibility with standard personal flotation device harnesses and rescue harness systems makes integration into existing water-safety protocols straightforward. For teams seeking a flotation solution that does not compromise mobility or visibility, the AS-1100 delivers the performance profile required for high-consequence water operations.
