Olympia Bomb Suit
Olympia Bomb Suit
The Olympia bomb suit is United Shield’s latest and most advanced design of bomb suit. It is a complete EOD/IEDD ensemble and provides the highest levels of protection from the four main threats encountered by EOD/IEDD operators of fragmentation, overpressure, impact and heat.
The outer material is constructed from certified flame retardant material, such as Nomex® Delta T, and this material can also be used to cover the bomb suit helmet, providing optimal protection for EOD/IEDD operators from the flammability associated with blasts from explosive devices.
A key feature of the Olympia bomb suit is its zonal armor system, which provides outstanding blast protection with maximum mobility, flexibility and comfort. The highest protection level is afforded to life critical areas of the body, such as the neck, chest and groin, with STANAG 2920 V50’s ranging from 1,900 m/sec to 450 m/sec. These levels of protection can be adjusted to suit individual customers needs.
