Built for the realities of helicopter operations
Helicopter crews operate in confined spaces, under pressure, and often for extended periods. Comfort, mobility and protection are not optional; they are critical to performance.
VIKING YouSafe™ Wingman is developed to meet these demands. Built in collaboration with experienced helicopter personnel, it reflects how crews actually work, both in the cockpit and on the ground.
The result is a flight suit that supports movement, reduces fatigue and delivers reliable protection throughout every mission.
Reliable protection in demanding environments
The suit is constructed from a high-performance blend of meta-aramid, para-aramid and antistatic fibres, delivering inherent flame resistance alongside certified heat and antistatic protection. This protection is built into the fibres themselves, ensuring consistent performance that does not degrade over time or with use.
Mobility and comfort for extended operations
A dual-fabric construction combines a durable outer fabric with elastic performance panels placed at the back and underarms, supporting natural movement in both seated and active positions. An ergonomic fit helps maintain posture during long hours in the cockpit, while breathable materials enhance comfort. Reinforced padding at elbows and shoulders adds durability in high-wear areas without restricting flexibility.
Designed for operational use
- Reinforced elbows and shoulders for durability
- Elastic panels supporting unrestricted movement
- Multiple storage options, including detachable thigh pockets
- Fit aligned with pilot and rear crew garments for consistency across fleets
- Clean, structured design suited to professional aviation environments
A consistent solution across crews
The Wingman is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing operations, with a consistent fit and familiar structure that simplifies implementation across teams and fleets. This supports both operational efficiency and a uniform standard of protection.
VIKING YouSafe™ Wingman combines reliable protection, mobility and long-term comfort in a single solution, built for the realities of helicopter operations and the demands placed on crews throughout every mission.
