The TRITON is LSC's second generation helicopter hoistable harness with dual recovery capability. It is standard equipment for US Coast Guard Aviation Rescue Swimmers. Building on the foundation and comfort of the TRI-SAR (see below), the TRITON offers numerous enhancements. A new low profile flotation collar provides variable buoyancy up to 35 lbs with reduced bulk. Several equipment pockets have been transferred to the waist belt for improved weight distribution and comfort. Quick release buckles have been added to the leg straps for easier donning and doffing of the harness, and a chest strap added for better fit adjustment. The recovery hook has been updated to LSC's lightweight #512 Titanium Talon II safety hook with locking gate. All components and materials are corrosion resistant for the marine environment. Utilizes one (1) 31 gram CO2 cylinder (LSC #480).
