Comfort & flexibility
May 1st 2009

Scott Health & Safety has launched a lightweight advanced carrying system (ACSi) for SCBA.

Weighing in at only 2.15kg, the new ACSi is said to be lighter than any other carrying system in its class and is also said to be the first system in the world to incorporate ThermoFlextechnology to create a sculptured soft back plate that provides comfort, ease of movement and reduces wearer fatigue. The ergonomically sculptured, soft back plate is designed and moulded to fit the spine and back muscles.

The harness has fully adjustable padded shoulder straps and waistband, which is fitted with a quick release buckle. D Rings allow fast and easy connection of other equipment to the webbing or straps.

The system includes a robustly designed shoulder mounted pressure indicator with photo luminescent face markings for low-light legibility and a warning whistle with an operating pressure of 55 bar.
