SeaAir1 Barents
Engineered for safety in the harshest waters. The SeaAir Barents is an advanced integrated helicopter passenger transport suit designed for cold-water offshore operations and emergency abandonment scenarios.
The SeaAir Barents is a highly specialised helicopter passenger transport immersion suit developed for demanding offshore environments, including cold and Arctic waters. Based on the SeaAir design platform, it delivers extended thermal protection combined with integrated safety and buoyancy features. Unlike traditional helicopter transport suits, SeaAir Barents is designed to be worn without a separate lifejacket, as buoyancy is fully integrated into the suit. This reduces bulk, simplifies donning and improves overall comfort during transit while maintaining a high level of emergency protection.
The suit is constructed with a waterproof and flame-resistant outer shell combined with an insulated lining that helps retain body heat in cold water. Multiple integrated safety elements support survival, visibility and rescue, while the ergonomic design enhances seated comfort during flight. Certified to meet aviation, maritime and offshore regulatory requirements, SeaAir Barents is suitable for helicopter passenger transport as well as personal abandonment use on offshore installations.
