Top Issues Facing Responders:

Every fire fighter knows that heated water is volatile and can release explosive energy in the form of dangerous steam. But water can, and frequently does, cause burn injuries without warning at temperatures well below steam conditions.

isodri® Protective Systems fight the proven problems of wet turnout gear by delivering a superior moisture management solution. Each and every isodri® component is engineered to reduce the water intake and, therefore, the heat storage capacity of your protective ensemble.
