SARATOGA^® - World-class CBRN Protection

The market-leading SARATOGA^® protective materials and garments are widely recognized as the most advanced chemical and biological warfare agent protective technologies in the world, with a proven record of technological and operational superiority.

Custom-made Solutions for Real World Requirements

SARATOGA^® Individual Protection systems include CBRN protective overgarments, duty uniforms, undergarments and innovative solutions for hand and foot protection for military users in army, air force, navy, marines and special forces as well as for non-military users such as coast and border guards, civil defence and national rescue units, law enforcement and counter terrorism personnel.

All SARATOGA^® CBRN protective systems are specifically designed in response to customer’s individual requirements to meet the most demanding expectations.

The unique characteristics of SARATOGA^® CBRN protective garments include their optimal balance of high protection and low heat stress, high adsorptive capacity; long wear time, high degree of air permeability for cooling, high level of mechanical stability, and low life cycle costs.

Innovations for Operational Effectiveness

Constant innovation ensures that SARATOGA^® CBRN protective suits always provide state-of-the-art, mission-capable protection. The newest generation of SARATOGA^® protective materials are substantially lighter, cooler, and more durable than other protective materials, while at the same time providing superior CBRN protection.

SARATOGA^® air permeable CBRN protective gloves provide high levels of protection, dexterity and tactility without the build-up of moisture that characterizes impermeable and semi-permeable gloves.

SARATOGA^® CBRN protective boot liners and socks are especially made for users who require protection from chemical and biological warfare agents under their standard duty footwear.

The most recent development is a patented technology for integrating CBRN protection into the material of duty boots themselves. This innovation eliminates the need for separate chemical protective socks or overboots, substantially increasing the operational effectiveness of troops and emergency response personnel, as well as reducing the logistical burden associated with additional articles of protective footwear.

Battle Tested. Combat Proven.

The U.S. Department of Defense concluded that SARATOGA^® fabrics provide “unparalleled protection against chemical and biological agents.” This is why all U.S. troops deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom wore SARATOGA^® chemical and biological protective suits twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, throughout major combat operations in Iraq.

Since 1997, SARATOGA^® has maintained the distinction of being the only material qualified for use in the CBRN protective suits worn by all U.S. armed forces.

The Future in CBRN Protection

SARATOGA^® has been breaking new ground in CBRN protection for more than two decades and is at the forefront of innovation in some of the most important future programs in this field.

By combining unsurpassed experience with state-of-the-art technologies, SARATOGA^® is continuing to set the standard for future CBRN protective systems.
