First Watch AS-1100 Flotation Suit - Red/Black - Small

The First Watch AS-1100 Flotation Suit in Red/Black, size Small, is a professional-grade anti-exposure system engineered for mariners, rescue personnel, and maritime professionals operating in cold water or harsh marine environments. This suit bridges the gap between comfort and survival capability, delivering the thermal protection and buoyancy needed during extended water exposure. Whether you're conducting water rescue operations, maritime patrols, or commercial diving work, the AS-1100 addresses the critical need for rapid hypothermia prevention and reliable flotation in emergency situations.

The AS-1100 features pre-curved, articulating knees and elbows that conform to natural body mechanics, eliminating the restrictive feel of traditional rigid flotation garments. This ergonomic design allows full mobility during water entry, swimming, and rescue maneuvers—critical factors when seconds determine survival outcomes. The suit incorporates integrated flotation panels positioned strategically to maintain proper body orientation in water while the soft internal lining reduces chafing during prolonged wear over tactical or operational clothing. At 6.3 pounds and compact storage dimensions of 15 x 10 x 20 inches, the AS-1100 stows easily aboard rescue vessels, helicopters, or tactical go-bags without compromising accessibility during deployment.

Coast Guard personnel, emergency responders, and maritime security teams rely on the AS-1100 for its proven track record in real-world water rescue and recovery operations. The red and black colorway ensures high visibility for rescue coordination while maintaining tactical aesthetics. Small sizing accommodates personnel with proportional builds, offering a precision fit that prevents water infiltration and maintains thermal efficiency. This flotation suit integrates seamlessly with standard marine safety protocols and supports rapid donning in high-stress situations where personnel may be wearing additional gear or tactical equipment.
