There has been a need for Innovation in Firefighting footwear and finally its here. In firefighting, there has always been a trade-off between comfort and protection & There is a lot of research and evidence that shows the heavy weight of fire boots leads to increased risk of mobility restrictions, physical strains and slips, trips, and falls. Tests in the GORE-TEX Professional labs show this to be as much as 300g per boot after just one hour of exposure to water.
their are also challenges faced by Fire and Rescue Services brought on by climate change, lifestyle changes & as a result, they need PPE that is versatile, comfortable while offering high levels of protection.
Today im joined by Oli Willson from Gore-Tex & Simon Ash from HAIX UK to talk about the new HAIX GTX Extraguard that puts innovation into every step with No breaking in period, increased comfort and reduced weight among many other factors.
