How it works The outer shell of the jacket and trousers are attached to the liner with a zipper system. Before you go onboard the fire engine, simply unzip the outer shell and place it in a dissolvable washing bag. When you get back to the station, throw the bag in the washing machine. This reduces your exposure to dangerous chemicals and prevents them from contaminating your body, the vehicle, the station and the people handling Reduces your exposure to dangerous particles Cancer risk among firefighters is a major concern all over the world. That’s why, working together with some of the greatest firefighters in the field, VIKING has developed a new level of protection from hazardous particles. When you are out on a call, your fire suit is often exposed to dangerous particles. With VIKING’s new GUARDIAN suit, you just remove the contaminated outer shell leaving the liner as a wearable suit for the road home. “VIKING and one of Sweden’s top-performing fire departments, worked together to develop the next generation of fire suits”
Special attention to comfort and durability No corners are cut with the VIKING GUARDIAN - from the unique design to the intelligent use of high-end materials. The strategy behind it not only provides extra protection but also extends the lifetime of the suit. Choose between two options. An outer shell in Y55, constructed using the inherently resistant and thermally stable PBI ® fiber from PBI ® Performance Products, well-known for outstanding protection against heat and flames. Or the high performing DuPont ™ Nomex ® option, Nomex ® XTM with proven flashover performance, durability and comfort. Both materials are extremely strong and maintain their resilient structure after many washes. On the inside is a CROSSTECH ® SR 2 Layer Laminate which doesn’t lose its high breathability after exposure to extreme heat. And even with the outer shell removed, the VIKING GUARDIAN continues to help protect the wearer from both the elements as the 5 most common dangerous chemicals accordingto the NFPA 1971 standard. Firefighter comfort and ergonomics get special attention too, and with features such as pre-bent knees and elbows, a removable hood, and different adjustment options the VIKING GUARDIAN helps you adapt to different work situations. Several details in the design make donning easier, e.g. with communication equipment. The highly durable suit is reinforced with Para- Aramid on the elbows, knees, in the pockets, and at the bottom of the legs. The innovative multi-piece design allows you to easily inspect the suit and exchange defective or worn materials, rather than discard the entire suit if one layer is damaged. The VIKING GUARDIAN is available in several models and colors
