Bomb Suits
Bomb suits provide full-body protection for EOD technicians working in close proximity to explosive threats. These specialised suits are designed to mitigate the effects of blast overpressure, fragmentation, heat, and impact, while allowing mobility, visibility, and communication. Bomb suits are typically used during manual render safe procedures or when remote tools are not viable. Built to meet military and law enforcement standards, they are an essential layer of protection in high-risk EOD operations.
