Education: Understanding Marine Suit Ratings

Immersion suits are designed for emergency use — they seal completely to prevent water intrusion and retain body heat for survival in freezing conditions. Dry suits are built for prolonged use in cold but non-freezing waters, offering comfort and flexibility for crew, rescue, and recreational users.

All USCG-approved immersion and dry suits must meet IMO/SOLAS standards for thermal insulation and buoyancy. Choose your suit based on water temperature, duration of exposure, and mobility needs.

Reminder

Inspect your immersion and dry suits annually for leaks, zipper wear, and gasket cracks. Always perform a pressure test or in-water buoyancy check before the season begins to ensure readiness during emergencies.
