I think the only way is to cut it open on the inside and empty it that way. not shure the I have never tried it but ive washed a chem suit a bunch and nothing.

hope that helps

What kinda NBC suit is it? British? American? Canadian?

Personally I'd never buy an NBC suit with intentions of getting rid of the charcoal liner. Then again I'd probably never buy an NBC suit. I have however heard that they're great for hunting 'cuz the charcoal blocks all body scent.

Even after you cut out the liner....It's an NBC suit. They don't breath very well, hell, they weren't designed to. You'll overheat if you run around in that thing for any amount of time. Yes it's possible, but wise to avoid if you have any choice in the matter.
I understand the suits are pretty cheap and seem like a good idea but just buy some proper BDU's and save yourself the trouble.

or a cheap flightsuit on ebay if that's what you are after. I snagged one from the states in excellent condition for about $20 a few months ago.
