Welcome the VIKIN Building more design and durability into every product Visibly better Take a closer look at a VIKING turnout gear and you’ll see a clear difference both in design and quality. It’s in the materials we use. The way it feels to wear. The way it looks. Even in the craftsmanship of the stitching. That’s because, for us, every detail has its part to play in ensuring our gear continue to be worn by the world’s best firefighters. Globally inspired design As a global manufacturer, all of our gear draw upon know-how and best practices from the USA, Europe and Asia. Our design teams discuss and experiment with the materials, the cut, the colors, the features – bringing more know-how and experience to the task than anyone else in the business. 2

to G advantage Safety without compromise We’re known for an uncompromising attitude to safety. After all, it’s one of the most important things in your world and ours. Our experience and ideas are heard on the industry’s standardization committees. And we are the trusted partners of household-name materials providers such as Hainsworth, W.L. Gore & Associates (CROSSTECH® and GORE-TEX®), DuPont™ and PBI Performance Products, helping them to test and refine their products. A material difference It’s no exaggeration to say that we know the most of any manufacturer about protective clothing materials and components. That’s because we don’t just design turnout gear, but also protective clothing, equipment and procedures for marine emergencies where hundreds or even thousands of lives may be at stake in a single incident. We’re always looking for and testing new materials, poring over flexibility, layer combinations, durability, and how different materials work together. In fact, our gear features the largest variation of layer materials and all combinations are tested and certified for superior protection. 3
