Boston FD Selects MSA G1 SCBA

[newsbuff 286]

I have to agree with DOWNTOWN BOSTON.  We use them and have had numerous failures of the facepiece regulator free flowing air and being unable to shut it off, except at the bottle.  We've had control module failures where they don't pass their internal check and have to be serviced. We have also found that the airplane buckles (much like very other pack) just never stay tight so your shoulder straps are always coming loose.

 

The one thing I can say I like about them, is the tiny little backpack strap that goes across the shoulder straps.  If you're gonna be wearing it for a long time, it puts the shoulder straps closer to your chest and doesn't fatigue your back as much.
