NEW Rescue Swimwear
Why battle a bulky drysuit when you can slice to the water like a highly trained questionably dressed torpedo? Our low waisted form fitting barely there briefs eliminate drag, reduce weight and possibly your survivors’s ability to maintain eye contact.

Engineered for maximum speed and minimum fabric these breached deliver peak hydrodynamics, and peak awkwardness. Because nothing says “I’ve got this under control” like the absolute confidence of very limited coverage.

And because saving lives shouldn’t mean going unnoticed, add custom reflective lettering across the seat. Your department name will shine bright in low light conditions so even in the dark, everyone will know exactly who just made that heroic entrance.

Happy April fools y’all

Among his many accomplishments, Travis, 49, was part of the ; he was a proud graduate of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 1996 and a long-standing member of . He was deployed to several of our nation’s most significant disasters, including being one of 10 individuals from the Austin Fire Department who were sent to Ground Zero immediately following 9/11.

Flood water is nasty and dangerous y’all! Beyond thermal protection, drysuits protect you from the contaminates in flood water.

After Hurricane Ian, parts of Florida are seeing nearly double the normal number of infections from a flesh-eating bacteria that thrives in brackish floodwaters.

So far this year, there have been 65 recorded cases and 11 deaths from V. vulnificus bacteria.

Protect yourself and your team! Drysuits are an essential part of your water rescue PPE.

Be safe.

The Reach Rope Retriever is a line capture device that can securely grab ropes, lines, or cables at a distance. The Reach is a great mechanical device with one simple yet important job: to securely capture another line from afar. When the Line Capture Device is thrown across any line, rope, or cable, it will cross, clip, and capture that line as securely as a carabiner.
