Please note that the flotation suit alone does not guarantee rescue. It serves as a swimming aid and protects against hypothermia. Depending on the water temperature, it delays the time to hypothermia and thus creates a time buffer for the rescue. From a safety point of view, one-piece units are preferable, as they do not allow the ingressing water to circulate. The water is thus heated by the body heat and forms an insulating layer. It is also recommended to wear suitable underwear. These suits also protect against the first cold shock when falling in. The suits have a buoyancy force of 50N. An average person needs 20-30N to stay above water. It is therefore more important to have a better fit than to choose the exact weight class.
The FLADEN one-piece swimsuit is certified according to ISO 15027-1 as an immersion suit, which is not possible with two-piece swimsuits. One of the conditions of this certification is that the wearer's body temperature does not drop more than 2°C in 5°C cold water within one hour. The tests with the FLADEN Flotation Suit have shown that the body temperature fell by only 1.2C.
