The VIKING Immersion Rescue I Suit is a Coast Guard and Solas approved survival suit built for cold-water immersion aboard cargo vessels, fishing boats, naval craft, and passenger ships. This adult universal model fits wearers from 150 cm to 200 cm in height and 50 kg to 150 kg, covering the majority of crew sizes with a single sizing. Its high-visibility orange neoprene shell and built-in buoyancy head support keep a person face-up with strong freeboard in the water. Because the buoyancy is integrated, the suit can be worn without a separate lifejacket, which matters when seconds count during an abandon-ship situation.
Construction starts with a 5 mm neoprene outer that provides both thermal insulation and inherent flotation. The diagonal waterproof zipper runs on a single slider with an extended design, so a crew member can don the suit fast while keeping water ingress to a minimum. A splash flap backs up the closure, and the built-in head support holds the head clear of the surface. Retro-reflective grey trim, 50 mm wide, makes the wearer easier to spot in low light or at night. A buddy line lets survivors link together in the water, while the lifting becket gives rescuers a strong attachment point for hoisting. The suit ships in its own storage bag for stowage near muster stations.
Commercial fishermen, offshore workers, and rescue crews keep suits like this within reach for the moment a vessel goes down or a person ends up in cold water. Pair this suit with a quality life raft and current signaling gear so your survival plan covers flotation, shelter, and location. The manufacturer lists a service interval of every three years, while the Coast Guard recommends annual inspection, so check yours on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this VIKING immersion suit require a separate lifejacket?
No. The suit has built-in buoyancy head support that provides excellent freeboard and keeps the wearer face-up in the water. Because the flotation is integrated into the suit, it can be worn on its own without a separate lifejacket.
What size range does the adult universal suit fit?
This adult universal model fits wearers from 150 cm to 200 cm in height and from 50 kg to 150 kg in body weight. The single sizing covers most crew members, which simplifies outfitting a vessel where multiple people may need to grab the nearest suit.
How often does the suit need servicing?
The manufacturer lists a service interval of every three years. The Coast Guard recommends an annual inspection. Follow whichever schedule applies to your operation and inspect the zipper, seams, and reflective trim regularly for damage.
What is the suit made of?
The suit is built from high-quality, flexible neoprene with a 5 mm outer fabric. The neoprene provides thermal insulation in cold water along with inherent flotation, and the flexible construction helps a crew member don the suit quickly during an emergency.
What features help rescuers locate and recover a survivor?
The suit includes 50 mm retro-reflective grey trim for visibility in low light, a buddy line so survivors can link together, and a lifting becket that gives rescuers a strong attachment point for hoisting a person from the water.
