 Mystery Ranch HOT SPEED Women's Backpack

Overview

The Mystery Ranch HOT SPEED Backpack is a ground breaking addition to the world of wildland firefighting gear, specifically designed for women. This new generation of fire packs features an ergonomic harnessing system that alleviates friction points during hot and hazardous operations, ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency during initial attack missions.

Design & Functionality

This paradigm-shifting pack has been stripped down to the essentials and rebuilt as personal protective equipment (PPE) with health and safety as top priorities. Certified to NFPA 1977 standards, the HOT SPEED is all-inclusive and initial attack ready. It caters to the specific needs of remote area and arduous Firefighters

By integrating the hydration reservoir into the lumbar area, the HOT SPEED maximises ventilation and frees up valuable upper-back space for critical equipment such as hose packs, saw packs, and bladder bags.

Key Attributes

• Fire-Specific Yoke: The yoke, featuring the patented Futura adjustment system, telescopes to fit any torso length while promoting ventilation. The full-length adjuster incorporates a mounted aluminium stay, providing enhanced rigidity.
