Silesia Advanced Search Suit

Silesia Advanced Search Suit

Silesia is United Shield’s latest and most advanced search suit. It is designed to be worn by EOD/IED technicians to provide the optimum balance between protection and mobility and was developed in close collaboration with leading bomb disposal teams. A key feature of the Silesia Advance Search Suit is the special four-piece construction (jacket, groin protector, trousers and over boots) which provide fragmentation and blast protection to the whole body, including back, front, side, neck, under arm, and lower pelvic region. The outer material is a certified flame retardant material, such as Nomex® Delta T.

The suits are normally used in conjunction with a ballistic helmet fitted with a fragmentation face shield. The novel design places the jacket and sleeves underneath the one-piece trousers, thus providing the fullest protection against blast and greatly improving the chances of survival and reduced injuries in the event of an explosive event.

The suit is extremely versatile and comfortable and can be worn in diverse situations including both inside and outside of buildings, checking vehicles, open terrain and work with dog units. The Silesia can be upgraded to include hard armor plates in either single or multi piece configuration. The soft armor is offered in a variety of different levels of fragmentation protection. All armor solutions are independently tested and full test data is available for perusal.
