First Watch AS-1100 Flotation Suit - Red/Black - 3XL

The First Watch AS-1100 Flotation Suit in Red/Black, 3XL, is a professional-grade anti-exposure system engineered for maritime personnel operating in demanding water environments. Built for rescue teams, commercial fishermen, coast guard operations, and water-based tactical units, this flotation suit addresses the critical survival gap between immersion and recovery. When operating near open water—whether conducting coastal patrols, conducting swift-water rescues, or deploying from vessels—exposure-related hypothermia remains a leading threat to operator survivability. This suit combines passive flotation with thermal protection to keep personnel afloat and functional during extended water operations.

The AS-1100 features pre-curved, articulating knees and elbows that eliminate restrictive binding and allow natural movement patterns critical during water entry, swimming, and extraction scenarios. The flotation architecture is engineered to provide reliable buoyancy without excessive bulk, preserving tactical mobility both in-water and during shore operations. Super-soft flotation materials resist water saturation over extended periods, and the red/black color scheme balances high-visibility rescue positioning with tactical concealment applications. At 3XL sizing with manageable 9-pound total weight, the suit delivers substantial flotation capacity while remaining donnable over base layers and compatible with load-bearing equipment—a critical consideration for operators who must maintain gear accessibility during water operations.

Law enforcement dive teams, military special operations personnel, and commercial maritime professionals benefit from the AS-1100's proven performance in cold-water and extended-immersion scenarios. The suit's design accommodates layering with wetsuits or thermal undergarments, making it suitable across diverse climates—from northern coastal operations to warmer-water environments where sun exposure poses additional thermal stress. When specifications demand that personnel remain mission-capable and rescue-ready during water-based deployments, the First Watch AS-1100 provides the flotation integrity and mobility that field-proven tactical gear demands.
