GREAT FOR EMERGENCIES! PERFECT FOR PAINTBALLING!
A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY DISASTER PREPAREDNESS KIT
The NBC suit No.1 Mk.III was the standard chemical protection suit issued to members of the armed forces.
Consisting of a Smock with hood and trousers which was worn over the uniform with the webbing on the outside, it was not the most comfortable thing to wear.
The Mk.III was designed to allow the trapped air to move around unlike most NBC suits of various other nations. It had charcoal impregnated inner layer with the outer material being water proof for up to 24 hours
Your 2-piece suit will come in unopened vacuum sealed pouches. With Green bag pictured above is optional. These military surplus suits come in standard sizes S, M, and L.
Purpose
The MK IV NBC Suit is worn in conjunction with a respirator, gloves and overboots, and gives protection against all known chemical warfare (CW) agents. The life of the suit in operations depends on the level of attack. In most situations it can be worn for up to a month and still offer protection to the wearer. Under extreme conditions of multiple attack it may be necessary to change the suit after 24 hours.
It is intended that the protective suit should be worn over normal combat clothing. The constituent materials have, therefore, been selected to impose minimum physiological stress, which is obviously a potential hazard in any closed system.
In addition to providing protection against toxic agents in both liquid and vapor form, the suit is also self-decontaminating by encouraging rapid evaporation. Furthermore, by virtue of its flame retardancy, it offers a high level of protection not only against conventional fire, but also against the thermal pulse resulting from a nuclear burst.
Materials
The complete suit is constructed from two layers.
The outer material is made of monacrylic fibers reinforced with polyamide fibers. It has a strong, hard-wearing outside surface. The monacrylic fibers ensure high fire-retardance. A silicone treatment is applied to make the garment shower-proof, and to permit rapid spreading of liquid chemicals, which in turn speeds up evaporation. This reduces the loading on the second layer, whose main function is to act as chemical barrier.
The inner fabric is based on activated charcoal as a means of protection against toxic gases and vapors. Since this material alone is not sufficiently strong, it is bonded to non-woven fabric which is flame-retardant. A fluorocarbon finish is applied as an oil repellent, thus acting as a further barrier to toxic liquids. This combination of repellents represents a chemical barrier which is highly efficient, yet air-permeable and thus imposes low heat stress. This liquid control system formed by a wicking layer over an oil-repellent layer permits the incorporation off less charcoal than in other systems, which in turn results in a lighter garment and smaller package size.
NO INTERNATIONAL SALES; Suit is Considered Demilitarized Surplus (Class Q). Cannot be shipped outside of the USA. Not for sale to non-US Citizens, no exceptions (U.S. Military/Federal Government Rules, not ours - sorry;-). You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the U.S. to purchase this suit. This suit can only be purchased if the buyer intends to use this suit for personal use only and has no intention of exporting it outside of the U.S. This is non-negotiable.
Great for Hunting or for Commercial Applications!!
