Product News

HAIX® Airpower® XR2 Station EMS boot is built to be lighter weight and more comfortable and was developed with the company’s newer ultra-light composite safety toe. Airpower XR2 is NFPA-compliant for emergency medical operations as well as certified to ASTM and CAN/CSA for toe protection, puncture, and electrical hazards.

The waterproof CROSSTECH® inner liner keeps feet dry no matter the weather as well as protected from bloodborne pathogens and chemicals. The HAIX Lacing System offers the quick on and off of a zipper boot with the personal fit of a lace-up boot. www.haix.com, 866-344-4249

CMC Rescue RigTech Pack™ helps rescue and rope access technicians stay light, fast, and efficiently organized with their gear. The pack was developed to fulfill ongoing requests from rescue teams in need of a specialized solution for keeping their rigging equipment in order and securely packed when in the field. The full-featured backpack delivers comfort, stability, and organization for backcountry and urban rescue teams as well as rope access technicians.

It is constructed from durable high-tenacity, water-resistant nylon for long life. Its contoured shoulder straps, adjustable sternal strap, and padded waist belt offer comfort and stability when carrying on rugged terrain. It also features 12 pockets specifically designed to provide efficient organization options. www.cmcrescue.com 800-513-7455

Milwaukee Tool M18™ LED Search Light is designed to provide maximum performance and versatility in the toughest jobsite environments. The new light boasts a beam distance of more than 700 yards and 1,250 lumens of light, allowing users to spot farther and flood brighter. With four modes to address a variety of lighting situations, just one unit can do the job of two lights at once.

A Spot Mode helps identify problems from afar. A patent-pending Spot Flood Mode assists in viewing issues from 700 yards but also provides a wider view of the surrounding area, reducing tripping hazards. A Flood Mode provides a broad beam for area and task lighting. A Strobe Mode is for communication and safety needs. www.milwaukeetool.com, 800-SAWDUST

Pelican™ 7100 and 7600 LED flashlights feature aluminum body construction made with a robust anodized finish. Measuring five inches long, the Pelican 7100 LED flashlight is compact without sacrificing performance, providing nearly 700 lumens of intense light. The Pelican 7100 LED flashlight is equipped with a USB rechargeable lithium ion battery and capable of operating on a single AA disposable battery when power is not available.

The six-inch Pelican 7600 LED provides greater than 900 lumens of clear, brilliant white light. It also easily toggles to night-vision friendly red and green LEDs with the twist of a switch. The red and green modes can be used for traffic control when partnered with an optional slip-on wand/holster accessory. Read more
