Breathable Constant Wear Aviation Flight Suit

All of these features lead to life cycle cost savings when compared to traditional dry suits designed for flight crews.

Hypothermia Protection

Thermal insulation of 0.5 immersed clo in stirred water and 0.2 immersed clo in turbulent water is achieved when tested on the thermally instrumented mannequin with the Tug-Tite® closures secured and the thermal protective hood and inflatable gloves donned.

Flame Resistance

The MAC100 Aviation Coverall provides outstanding protection from radiant heat and fire by achieving a Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) rating of 1900 kJ/m2. This equates to 20 seconds protection from second degree burns under exposure to a heat flux of 84 kW/m2. A heat flux of 84 kW/m2 is comparable to conditions around a crashed aircraft when fuel is burning fiercely. Tests have demonstrated that the MAC100 prevents second or third degree burns occurring within its area of coverage. This contrasts with second degree burns to 57% of the body surface area covered by a plain Nomex® flight suit.

Flotation

The MAC100 provides an inherent buoyancy of approximately 15.5 lbs., size, fit and underclothing dependent. This is designed to be well below the 35 lbs. maximum recommended for ditched helicopter egress, yet about the 15.5 lbs. minimum buoyancy required for a personal flotation device (PFD). The MAC100 is compatible with Mustang Survival's MD1127 Constant Wear Twin Chamber Aviation Inflatable Life Vest (sold separately) for added flotation protection in case of emergency landing. MD1127 features a unique slim profile for constant wear comfort and mobility with helmet on and is compatible with aircraft seat harness. Click HERE for all the information on the MD1127 PFD.
