For more than 100 years, Switlik has been building gear designed to protect people in the most demanding environments. From parachutes in the early days of aviation to today’s advanced customizable dry suits, life rafts, and survival vests, our mission has always been simple but critical: create equipment that never fails when lives depend on it.
For over 105 years, Switlik has been trusted by aviators, rescue teams, and defense organizations worldwide. This trust isn’t built on marketing claims; it comes from a relentless focus on detail. From the placement of a seam to the way a zipper closes under pressure, every design choice reflects Switlik’s belief that small refinements add up to lifesaving performance.
Fall is one of the most unpredictable seasons for professionals working on the water. Shorter days, colder air, rougher seas, and sudden temperature drops create dangerous conditions for aviation crews, rescue swimmers, and maritime operators. While lighter gear or wet suits may suffice in summer, autumn requires greater protection and adaptability.
For professionals in sectors such as maritime, aviation, offshore, military, and search & rescue, choosing the right dry suit can make or break mission performance. Switlik has refined customizable dry suits for decades to meet the specific needs of challenging environments. From Coast Guard helicopter crews to offshore oil rig workers, tailoring your suit ensures safety, comfort, and operational efficiency.
