High Protection
- The textile components of the BDS 2015 suit
combines specialist materials with leading engineering to provide the highest levels of protection as well as outstanding mobility. - All seams are specially constructed to resist both ruptures and blasts, the Meta- aramid outer skin provides water resistance and fire protection.
Superior Mobility
- The lightweight, ergonomic construction of BDS 2015 suit
provides the user with the vital operational flexibility for EOD assignments, including crouching and climbing. - The tubular construction of the suit’s trousers, ‘telescopic’
shoulder and knee sections allow free movement with full
body ballistic and blast protection
Quick Release Technology

Leading Helmet Design
- Through utilising cutting edge streamline and compact helmet
design, the BDS 2015 suit affords the wearer better protection
against radial and linear head acceleration during a blast event than standard designs
Helmet
The BDS 2015 streamlined helmet integrates scratch resistant glass, a built-in heated visor and a balanced battery pack to provide the user with unrestricted vision and high level protection.
Quick Release
Integrated quick release functions for both jacket and trousers allows for extraction in less than 20 seconds.
CBRN Protection
The optional CBRN protection system is a comfortable and non-abrasive undergarment including a bodysuit, booties, gloves and an integrated balaclava and mask.

under the standard helmet. This low profile facemask is attached to the balaclava with hose connections on either side of the mask.
Breastplate
The blast de-coupling BDS2015 breastplate, developed from advanced composite technology minimises the transmission of shockwave energy to the user’s torso. The innovative three-piece telescopic construction delivers high flexibility with no loss of
blast de-coupling capability.
Cooling System
Cooling is provided inside the BDS 2015 suit by a built-in-battery
powered ventilation system that fits neatly into pouches at the rear
of the suit and provides air to head and body areas sufficient for
a one- hour operation running at full power.
Back Protection
The BDS 2015 integrated back protector provides blunt trauma protection whilst also delivering cooling air with the required flexibility and manoeuvrability required for EOD and CBRN assignments.
