Comfort Whether you!re operating in the ´KRW ]RQH¾ RU ´ZDUP ]RQH¾ +RPHODQG DefenderŽ suits offer a level of comfort that allows responders to function effectively for long durations until the mission is complete. Each suit is designed with a cooling mechanism to alleviate heat stress as compared to conventional HAZMAT suits. This allows for extended response durations and fewer shift rotations.

Durability The durability of any CBRN suit is important from a safety and investment standpoint. Homeland DefenderÂŽ suits are uniquely rugged in both fabric and seam construction to allow for worry-free tactiFDO UHVFXH DQG DECON operations without the need for chemical tape. Homeland DefenderÂŽ suits can be reused multiple times if they are not contaminated.
