Firefighter SCBA
The Sperian Warrior Backpack is a SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) worn by firefighters. In the early stages of the Warrior development, our user research team evaluated prominent SCBA equipment, interviewed professional firefighters, and observed fire companies from various regions of the US. The Warrior Backpack design incorporates proven SCBA technology, new safety features, and many features suggested by firefighters themselves. The result is a SCBA backpack designed for ease of use, comfort, and safety.

The Warrior SCBA Backpack is designed to move with the firefighter. The rigid backpack, necessary for securing the air cylinder, is attached to a swivel and pivot mechanism on the belt that allows the backpack to move with the user’s shoulders supporting natural back movement and hip flexion. The backpack is lined with Kevlar padding and features re-curved shoulder straps to improve comfort. When compared to a typical rigid SCBA platform for posture, fit, range of mobility and comfort, firefighters experience a more comfortable fit with less pressure on the shoulders and back, as well as exceptional maneuverability.
