VIKING Fire-fighter clothing


Lightweight and Flexible

Fire-fighting is tough business. Your protective clothing shouldn’t make it any tougher. A lightweight and flexible fire-suit is essential for your safety and mobility in a dangerous fire-fighting situation.

It’s all about the critical time factor
Protection against heat and fire, flash over and reducing the risk of heat stress is our main concern. The difference between pain and second degree burn is a mere 54°F (approx.) increase in skin temperature. In addition, a stressed fire-fighter consumes up to 30-40% more air, reducing time on SCBA’s.

VIKING provides fire-fighter clothing at the lowest possible weight in relation to protection. Our specially designed fire-fighting clothing with innovative use of multiple thermal layers, good ventilation and flexibility extend effective fire-fighting efforts by postponing the need to withdraw due to heat stress.
