Special promotion for the HAIX Fire Hunter AF

HAIX® North America would like to announce a special promotion of the Fire Hunter® AF. From September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, for every Fire Hunter® AF purchased, HAIX® will include a care kit for free. The care kit includes the HAIX® silicone-based polish, specially formulated to be used in conjunction with your high quality leather boots, and a three-piece brush set packaged in a convenient carrying case.

FIRE HUNTER® AF, equipped with the patented AF system or “Ankle Flex” system, includes stretch inserts that make it easier to put the boot on, adjust the instep variably, and provide optimum foothold. Integrated bending zones make the boot flexible and prevent bruises and blisters, even during long runs. The 14-inch high shaft offers top comfort, flexibility, protection, and safety. The CROSSTECH® membrane is not only watertight and breathable; it also prevents the penetration of chemicals. The HAIX® climate and MSL systems regulate the moisture and insulate against cold and heat to the best possible degree. Until the advent of the MSL system, the lining of firefighter boots made by other manufacturers would pull out or crumple up (in creases), but that is no longer possible with the unique MSL system patented by HAIX®. The lining is firmly attached to the components of the boot and cannot pull out or crumple up.

The Fire Hunter® AF is certified to NFPA 1971, 2007 edition, and CAN/CSA Z 195-2002.
