Turnout Gear That’s Got Your Back! The increased cancer risk among firefighters is a major concern all over the world - and when you are out on a call, your turnout gear is often exposed to dangerous particles. VIKING has developed and tested a tactical solution for the next generation of protection. With our new MACS gear, you remove the contaminated outer shell after exposure at an incident, leaving the liner as a wearable and weather protective suit for the road home. No corners are cut with the VIKING MACS - from the uniquely flexible design to the intelligent use of high-end materials. The strategy behind this approach not only provides extra protection but also extends the lifetime of the gear. “The unique VIKING MACS - offers maximum flexibility while reducing your exposure to dangerous particles!” How It Works The outer shell of the coat and pants are attached to the liner with a zipper system. Before boarding the fire truck, simply unzip the outer shell and place it in a dissolvable washing bag. When back at the station, throw the bag in the washing machine. This helps reduce your exposure to dangerous particles and prevents them from contaminating your body, the truck, the station and the people handling the suits for washing.
