Warrior™
In a Class of its Own: The Attack Hose Revolutionizing Firefighter Safety
A proprietary double jacketed hose with best in class heat resistance
Fires are burning hotter, and extinguishing the fire faster is the name of the game. But what advances have been made to manufacture a hose that can withstand the actual thermal conditions it's exposed to on the fire ground? A hose that can literally stand the heat while performing exceptionally? We made it.
The Warrior™ is a revolutionary attack hose built to conquer the heat of modern fires. Independent lab tests prove the Warrior™ can withstand extreme heat for extended periods. But it’s not just about survival; the Warrior™ delivers exceptional water flow, kink resistance, and handling even under pressure. This translates to a hose that performs exceptionally well, even in the harshest environments. The Warrior™ sets a new standard for high-temperature attack hoses, proving itself to be in a class of its own.
