PBI Special Firefighting Suit
PBI MAX special protective suit with drag rescue device and built-in rescue belt.
A personal special protective suit completed with feedback from firefighters, combining outstanding heat resistance and thermal protection with mobility, wearability and utility.
The PBI MAX outer shell offers among the highest thermal protection of any firefighting fabric. The suit is KFAC certified and integrates a drag rescue device and a built-in lower-body rescue harness for firefighter rescue.
Outer shell PBI 35% + aramid 62% + nylon 3%; middle layer 100% aramid with PTFE film; lining 100% aramid.
One of the highest levels of thermal protection among fire-suit fabrics, with lower heat transfer than PBO/aramid to minimise heat stress. Retains strength under UV and fluorescent-light exposure, and offers better tensile strength and comfort than conventional PBI.
Support structure around the shoulders and underarms enables safe, efficient movement of a downed firefighter. Tested by KOTITI.
Integrated lower-body harness with ergonomic load distribution supports rapid escape and rescue in emergencies.
Radio holder fits any radio regardless of antenna direction; lantern mount widened from 30 to 50 mm with double clip-and-band fixing; additional D-rings for O-rings or carabiners; MOLLE system.
Raglan construction and articulated cuts optimise movement in the shoulder, chest and sleeve areas.
Thumb-hole-free cut cuffs prevent gap burns at the wrist and feel natural on the hand.
Rounded three-dimensional collar pattern improves comfort around the neck.
More durable knee pads in FKM (fluoroelastomer) rubber, inserted through a zip-fastener pocket for easy replacement.
Longer jacket hem prevents riding up when the SCBA is worn, keeping the body covered.
Designed around breathing apparatus — no interference between the lantern and chest strap, or between the waist belt and pockets.
Stay in place, are easy to put on and take off, and reduce shoulder load during long operations.
