Event

What does operational gear actually feel like? With us, you can try it on and find out: plate carrier, helmet, ballistic goggles, IFAK — and in the second part, a full CBRN protective suit with mask. We’ll give a short introduction to why we use this equipment in humanitarian missions and what it can realistically do.

You’ll be able to try everything on yourself, ask questions, and get a real sense of what this gear protects you from — and what it doesn’t — as well as how exhausting it is to put on and move around in. Photos are absolutely fine, whether it’s for your grandma’s Christmas card or just for fun.

Please note: This workshop includes discussion of war, injury, and death.
