Testimonials
Firefighters need to understand that your gear needs to protect you, but it needs to work with you. And if it protects you, but actually causes you problems, that's not working with you. You need to have something that benefits you…Because for me, I can tell you that my utmost priority is to get firefighters home to their families.
Andy Starnes, Insight Training
Where I work in Connecticut, we’re a big city department. We're known for going to good amount of fires. So a lot of people kind of reach out and get our feedback on how things are because have the fireground experience wearing stuff and seeing how things work. I can't say enough good stuff about it. I always recommend it.
Derek Currao, MissionCIT
It's hard to explain unless you're in the gear, but it’s like if you put on a suit that you know is tailored to you…You don't feel fatigue. You don't feel destroyed afterward…I think it's amazing stuff. I've been around a long time; I've had I've had some nasty gear and this is legit.
