General Description:
The CSU-13B/P anti-G suit is an original US Air Force garment fighter pilots wear to counter positive (head-to-toe) gravitational forces during high-G manoeuvres. It is a trouser-type garment with a wraparound design containing an inflatable internal bladder. It compresses the wearer's waist and legs when activated, preventing blood pooling in the lower extremities and reducing the risk of unconsciousness.
The suit is made of Nomex flame-retardant material (similar to that of flight suits) and includes:
- Pocket for rescue knife on thigh,
- Zipped pockets on the shins,
- Velcro straps for hose attachment,
- All zips work perfectly,
- Very good overall condition, retains original shape.

If you know something about european sizing, you might be aware that there used to be not only numbers, but letters too, for different body types. In practice these haven't been used for a long time.
Regarding width and height: It's easy to get confused, so calm down! If you are taller or thicker than usual, you need a bigger size. The sizes get bigger in both dimensions. This means that if you are 190 cm tall and slim, your waist would happily accept size 50 trousers, but the pants will be short. Or if you have a lot of belly but you are short, you might need a size 56 jacket, on which the sleeves will be long. Yes, it's a pity if you're funny proportioned. Sometimes it pays to be normal.
As you measure yourself, take the actual measurements, don't add some just to be sure. Correct places for measurements are shown in the picture.
