Innovation, research and development are vital elements in the Survival-One approach to design and manufacture. As part of a continuous policy of design and development, we work with centres of expertise relating to in-water survival and independent centres are used during design validation to produce protective survival and immersion suits at the leading edge of technology.

The Survival-One proactive approach to design ensures that clients' specific requirements can be accommodated. The result is a tailored solution to meet their needs including garment design, configuration, materials, details, and pocketing. The design and development facilities include state of the art garment CAD software for digitising, pattern development, grading, marker making and made-to-measure pattern generation.

Dedicated design machinists are available for sampling, with test facilities for hydrostatic pressure and flex testing also available.
