Msk-5 suit?

[balloonpilot]

hello all,
I've seen a suit for sale known as a MSK-5. It is orange, with a thermal inner suit. it is advertised as a high altitude suit, but I don't see any sort of pressure tubes or lacing like the VKK-6 partial suit. Does anyone have any details on the msk-5? How is it pressured and such.

many thanks,
phil

Phil,

MSK and VMSK suits are not high altitude suits. They are outer water insulation suits - basically a survival suit for pilots flying over the water. VMSK is the one worn with VKK type of suits. MSK is a helicopter version.

Cheers!
