Wearing a helmet comes with the job when you are a firefighter - but not all helmets are created equal. Some provide adequate protection but they don't fit comfortably. At LION, we think that is a problem because we know that the more comfortable your helmet, the longer you can wear it and the less fatigue you'll experience. At LION, our firefighter helmets are engineered from a first responder's perspective for the best fit and protection out there. They are completely adjustable in both suspension and height. The result is a customized fire helmet that's light and comfortable, but provides optimum heat and impact resistance.
As a first responder, yours are the hands that rescue and protect. You need to retain your dexterity while staying safe so you can do things like operate a hose, hold an axe or save someone's life. It may just be a pair of gloves, but the stakes can be high. You need to know your hands can meet those needs securely. LION Structural Protective Gloves feature smart details like innovative knuckle padding Lite-N-Dri™ to increase thermal and impact protection in high-heat and high-abrasion areas on the back of hand plus a combination of CROSSTECH® insert and Kovenex® lining for lightweight, flexible and comfortable liquid and thermal protection.
