First Watch RS-1002 Ice Rescue Suit - Hi-Vis Yellow

The First Watch RS-1002 Ice Rescue Suit in Hi-Vis Yellow is purpose-built for cold-water and ice-rescue operations, designed for first responders, rescue personnel, and water recovery teams who operate in sub-zero or near-freezing environments. This suit combines high-visibility safety requirements with specialized thermal protection, making it essential for search-and-rescue missions, emergency response, and water-based vehicle recovery work.

First Watch engineered the RS-1002 with a waterproof outer shell and insulation to maintain body heat while preventing water absorption during extended immersion or ice-edge work. The hi-vis yellow colorway meets ANSI visibility standards, ensuring rescue personnel remain clearly visible to vehicle operators, helicopters, and team members in low-light or whiteout conditions—critical when working near traffic, waterways, or aviation assets.

This rescue suit is ideal for coast guard personnel, emergency management teams, volunteer fire departments, towing operators, and commercial dive support staff who respond to water-related incidents. The design balances mobility with thermal efficiency, allowing users to move freely during rescue extractions while maintaining core body warmth in extreme conditions.
