Out with the old, in with new at Llandudno Lifeboat Station
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution in proud partnership with Helly Hansen roll out the new three-layer clothing system to the lifeboat crew at Llandudno.
The new kit which is unique to the RNLI provides the volunteer crews with the highest quality protective and safety clothing to wear during operations.
The kit was presented to the Llandudno all-weather boat crew by James Millet from Helly Hansen, Amanda Boon and Edward Ellwood from the RNLI.
Tim James Assistant Coxswain said: 'I am really impressed with our new kit, it feels much more comfortable, is significantly lighter, and I am sure will give us much better performance when we are on a shout.'
