Olympia EOD Suit

The Olympia bomb suit is a complete EOD/IEDD ensemble and provides the highest levels of protection from the four main threats encountered by EOD/IEDD operators of fragmentation, overpressure, impact and heat. The outer material is constructed from certified flame retardant material, such as Nomex® Delta T, and this material can also be used to cover the bomb suit helmet, providing optimal protection for EOD/IEDD operators from the flammability associated with blasts from explosive devices.

A key feature of the Olympia bomb suit is its zonal armour system, which provides outstanding blast protection with maximum mobility, flexibility and comfort. The highest protection level is afforded to life critical areas of the body, such as the neck, chest and groin, with STANAG 2920 V50's ranging from 1,900 m/sec to 450 m/sec. These levels of protection can be adjusted to suit individual customers needs.

Three standard suit options are available:

Olympia Excel A Alpha – original with a balanced market competitive zonal protection level
Olympia Excel L Light Weight – with a STANAG 2920 V50 protection level of 450m/s providing the maximum mobility
Olympia Excel H High Fragmentation – with a zonal protection level providing the maximum fragmentation protection
