Fire, EMS, EMA, Rescue, and Towing professionals…

When the temperature drops, the job doesn’t stop. Layering matters.

Meet Viking Shield Gear — a next-generation, multi-purpose solution designed for Wildland, Tech Rescue, and EMS operations. Shield is UL-certified as complaint with NFPA 1977, 1951, and 1999, offering protection without the bulk of structural turnout gear.

Lighter, more flexible, and more affordable, Shield is ideal for cold-weather layering. Featuring a removeable GORE-TEX Crosstech® S/R moisture barrier, it protects against water, bloodborne pathogens, and chemicals during extrication and medical responses. The Sigma™ 2.0 twill outer shell delivers flame resistance and durability while maximizing comfort and mobility.

If you’re looking for one versatile garment to cover your crews, give me a call and let’s schedule a demo.
