EPE is touring the country with a roadshow to showcase the launch of a new bomb suit it claims sets a new standard for blast protection.

The Med-Eng EOD 10 has been the result of many years in devlopment with a focus on a user-centric design to provide the best possible overall experience.

It is significantly lighter, more comfortable and gives users much greater mobility. The jacket and trousers have been completely redesigned to reduce weight and fatigue. Its new and enhanced ambient air ventilation systems keep users feeling refreshed and focused. The improved fit and new materials enable bomb disposal technicians and military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operators to operate more freely in difficult locations for longer periods of time.

The EOD helmet has been completely redesigned to improve situational awareness, protection and fit. The EOD 10 helmet integrates a voice command system and new light discipline options, and provides enhanced warning and confirmation systems to support users in a variety of operational environments.

The EOD 10 bomb suit and helmet ensemble gives EOD operators superior balanced protection against the four main blast threats: overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. It should also be noted that Med-Eng evaluated and carefully applied the latest lightweight protective materials to increase overall protection while significantly reducing weight.
