Honeywell’s PRO FIT is the newest iteration of its Morning Pride® by Honeywell pant for firefighters. Engineered with a blend of ergonomic features that add flexibility and lightweight strength to the garment, Pro Fit makes it easier for the firefighter to move about the fireground, helping reduce joint stress and fatigue. Pro Fit was designed to sit just above the hips instead of at the waist while still providing adequate coverage in the back. The pant maintains the quality features from Morning Pride by Honeywell TAILS® while adding new features including a knee position that eliminates knee roll and reduced cuff retraction. www.honeywell.com.

IMMI’s PER4MAX™ four-point restraint for ambulances includes exclusive controlled deceleration technology to help EMTs ride down crash forces, applying less strain on their bodies.

An estimated 4,500 ambulances are involved in accidents every year, but 84 percent of EMTs do not wear their seat belts because they restrict movement while treating a patient. IMMI’s Per4Max allows them to reach, stretch, and even stand up in their restraint if necessary.
