At Hunter Apparel Solutions Limited (Hunter), our mission has always been clear: to help protect those who protect us. Firefighters face immense risk in their job role, and it’s our responsibility to ensure their safety through innovative PPE.

Recently, we’ve taken a significant step forward by becoming the exclusive UK and Irish distributor for CPP undergarments, a Swedish innovator in protective undergarments designed specifically for firefighters using tried and tested CBRN fabric technology.

The Importance of Protective Undergarments

B.A. trainers have more exposure to toxicity because of the constant training regime they follow while helping others learn the craft of firefighting. So, should they have more protection?

While outer PPE is essential, the layer worn closest to the skin plays a pivotal role in safeguarding firefighters from the invisible dangers of their profession. CPP’s undergarments are engineered to provide an additional barrier against carcinogenic fire gases and particulates that can penetrate standard protective clothing. These undergarments are not merely an accessory but a vital component in a firefighter’s protective B.A. training ensemble.

Advanced Technology for Enhanced Safety

CPP’s undergarments incorporate a multi-layered fabric system, including a layer embedded with activated carbon spheres. This design effectively adsorbs harmful gases, significantly reducing the risk of toxins reaching the skin. The garments are CE-certified, underscoring their compliance with rigorous safety standards.

Lars Axelsson (a.k.a. the Swedish Fire nerd). Former firefighter, captain and incident commander who currently works with firefighting training all over the world says

“Manage the risk during training by proper PPE and procedures. And stop using outdated procedures for firefighting. I for instance use an active carbon underwear as part of my protection”. 

Hunter’s Commitment to Firefighter Safety

By partnering with CPP Garments, Hunter reinforces its dedication to providing cutting-edge protective solutions for emergency services. This collaboration ensures that UK and Irish firefighters have access to state-of-the-art undergarments that enhance not just their safety but also their health.

A Comprehensive Approach to Protection

By addressing the risks posed by toxic substances at the base layer, B.A. trainers are better equipped to perform their duties with reduced health risks. This advancement is a testament to the ongoing efforts to improve occupational safety standards within the firefighting community.
