Description
All Viking suits are made to order with a range of custom features inc – boots, seals, neck dam etc
(Black/Red Top or Black/Black) The Viking ProAm (formerly Hunter/Gates Pro-Am 1050) is manufactured from a compound of EPDM/Natural Rubber with a two way stretch polyester lining.
The suit is fitted with rotating inlet valve and hose, and auto/manual exhaust valve. Suits feature a medium duty zip. The suit is reinforced on the shoulders, waist, backside and over knee to boot. Integral boots with cushioned insoleand ankle reinforcement are standard.
Garment material
Strong flexible knitted black polyester fabric is coated on the outside with layers of natural rubber (NR) and synthetic EPDM rubber. The total material weight (lining and rubber coating): 1050 +/- 100 g/m2.
Stitched seams become seamless
The suit panels are stitched together from the inside with a stretch tape to cover the seam, along with four rows of stitching. The outside seams are taped by hand with an uncured rubber tape. The whole suit is then vulcanised using heat and pressure in order to make the suit watertight. In fact it could be said that this process makes the suit seamless. Heat and pressure create a chemical reaction which cross links the tape and body together.
Glued seams
Final components such as neck and wrist seals, glove rings, neoprene or latex hoods are glued to the suit, and then taped where necessary.
Footwear
The boots are formed as an extension of the leg, and there is no joining seam. Construction includes a stiffener for the sole, and a cushioned footbed for comfort. Anti slip outsole material is added for grip and strength. Ankle protectors are built into the boots. Safety boots with a steel midsole and steel toe cap may be fitted on request.
