Nova Energy Ltd Imperial Has Saved More Lives Than Any Other Survival Suit The calls and letters keep coming in-the details are different— but the end result is the same: People who wore an Imperial Survival Suit lived! Imperial kept them afloat, warm and alive, even when freezing waters killed their unprepared mates. One oil rig worker thanked us for saving his life after a hurricane-driven 50-foot wave swept him into the sea for over 20 hours. In another documented case, our Suits enabled four men to survive nine hours in 35°F water and 25 hours on a frigid beach. A pilot who put an Imperial Survival Suit on before he ditched his single-engine plane was rescued in the icy North Atlantic after 10 hours of being battered by 25-foot waves. So far, more than 335 people have informed us they cheated death by wearing Imperial Survival Suits. And that's a small percentage of those who actually put their Imperial Survival Suits to the test. Without an Imperial Survival Suit, cold water kills quickly. Even with a flotation device, the chance of surviving without adequate insulation is remote. Imperial is The World's Best Selling Survival Suit There are nearly 100,000 Imperial Suits in use. With good reason. Imperial's suits are built and backed better. Extensive research and development plus testing of every suit continuously upgrades performance while reducing prices. Our customer service and satisfaction is second to none. And we provide complete education and training both in person and on videotape. Write for details and specifications. Dealer inquiries invited Imperial Manufacturing Co.
