Hi what brand of suit is this? They are 100% sealed even hands and feet and will not let water threw?

[FirehouseMike]

@Yberrion These Hazmat suits are training suits & Are Not vapor tight. The real Level A suit is Vapor & Liquid tight... Google Search DuPont Level A Suits & you should find what you need...

Funny

[FirehouseMike]

@Duetschgas Yeah... Most people can't understand why we're doing this... It's to build confidence in the Hazmat worker who may fall into a body of water while working in a Level A Suit... Thanks for stopping by FirehouseMike...

I'd love to get one of these suits. It'd be funny to arrive at school with one, since all of this flu stuff!

And just to make people wonder :P

Then I saw the prices, no thanks!

thanx again. one more thing. In my hazmat tech class, the closest response team is in the next county, will i still be able to apply? and if not, I may apply for a private organization as a contractor. but can i still take the class when im not on a response team?

@SoCalSummerSquad Cool. I saw that there's an emergency supply store/ firefighter store somewhere around my area, I might have to see what they have!

@Chewytube1 I know you posted this a year ago, but I got a never used, full body NBC suit for $20. It isnt watertight of course, its just a large, camouflaged, charcoal lined suit designed to keep out hazardous dust. I got a new gas mask for $30, but for $50 you can get one with a drinking tube.

@trucker44100 Thanks for stopping by FirehouseMike & viewing the videos. Trucker44100 in this day & age you don't want to buy used Hazmat Suits. OSHA & EPA set the testing standards for all Hazmat Suits. They also set the training standards for people using these suits. You're employer is required to provide proper training before requiring you to work in these suits. For your own safety you don't want to be in one of these suits until you've been properly trained on; Proper Suit Selection, SCBA
