Breathing apparatus for Firefighters
Brason is a compressed air breathing apparatus that has been developed to provide different fire brigade units with a system that is adaptable to their needs. The ergonomic design of the carrying frame minimizes the contact area between the product and the user's back, ensuring air exchange while reducing heat under the jacket. Another ergonomic improvement is the ability to rotate the waist belt independently of the carrying frame, which allows the user greater mobility when performing tasks, especially in bent positions.
The shoulder straps adapt well to the shape of the user's body and relieve the shoulders from the weight of the compressed air cylinder. Both the shoulder and hip straps can be fitted with additional equipment that is necessary during the operation. In order to be able to see the user in rooms with low visibility due to high smoke concentration, reflective surfaces have been applied around the edge of the compressed air bottle.
