THE FIRST WORK SUIT THAT CAN HELP SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Commercial fishermen face some of the harshest working conditions in the world. Yet many still have to choose between staying protected and being able to do their job. ØY-Vind was built to change that.
Torbjørn knows what it means when someone doesn’t come home.
After losing his brother, Per-Øyvind, to the sea, he witnessed too many families experience the same tragedy. He also understood why it kept happening.
Traditional immersion suits save lives - but many fishermen don’t wear them because they aren’t designed for everyday work.
Determined to change that, Torbjørn spent years searching for a better solution. Together with Hansen Protection, he helped co-develop ØY-Vind: a work-first survival suit designed specifically for commercial fishermen.
HE DIDN'T EXPLAIN THE SUIT.HE WANTED TO PROVE IT.
He completed one of Norway’s toughest endurance challenges wearing the suit from start to finish.
• 6 km swim in 3°C water
• 180 km cycling across Hardangervidda
• A winter ascent of Gaustatoppen
Not to break a record. To prove one thing:
A survival suit can also be the suit you work in.
THE BIGGEST RISK ISN’T THE SEA.IT’S NOT WEARING THE RIGHT PROTECTION.
A WORK SUIT FIRST.A SURVIVAL SUIT ALWAYS.
