Ready Rack has been committed to providing high quality turnout storage care systems and accessories to support the fire service since 1980. Two years ago, Pacific Helmets NZ Ltd partnered with the Ready Rack team to bring their F18, F15, F6, and R5SL to the United States Firefighting industry. Due to these four helmets proving to be popular within the structural and wildland firefighting spaces, Ready Rack and Pacific Helmets have decided to expand the product line!
Ready Rack will be introducing seven helmet models from Pacific Helmets made for structural, wildland, to rescue firefighting to the product line for distribution. These helmets are the F11, R3v4 Kiwi, R6 Challenger, R6L Patroller, R6V Dominator, and R6V MKII Seeker. Read more about each helmet’s features below:
F11:
The F11 Dragonfly is a compact fire helmet with detachable external face shield, internal eye protector, and earmuff bracket. It is ideal for work in confined spaces, under chemical suits or in naturally hot environments.
R6 Challenger:
The R6 Challenger is the leader in Pacific’s flagship R6 rescue helmet series. As a truly multi-purpose helmet, the Challenger is fully certified to the widest range of rescue helmet standards of any helmet in the world. The R6 Challenger is the non-vented version of the compact R6s, perfect for use in Technical Rescue, Bush/Wildland Fires, or when no vent on the helmet shell is preferred.
R3v4 Kiwi:
The R3v4 Kiwi has a well proven pedigree as the go-to helmet for many USAR teams across the USA. The R3v4 features a fiberglass reinforced shell reinforced with DuPontTM Kevlar® and full cranium impact liner, essentially making it a compact version of a full structural firefighting helmet. It offers the ultimate level of safety in all possible situations.
R6L Patroller:
The R6L Patroller is a lightweight helmet which can be configured for a wide range of uses from Industrial to Wildland Firefighting. With its military styling, the Patroller has been designed to accommodate tactical Picatinny Rails and VAS shroud for attaching extra equipment such as cameras, earmuffs, torch, night vision goggles, and face protection.
It has a larger shell than the other R6 Series helmets, which also makes it a great choice for larger head sizes due to the increased internal space.
R6V Dominator:
If you’re looking for a lightweight vented helmet, choose the R6V Dominator. The Dominator features our Dynamic Sealed Ventilation System (DSVSTM) which is watertight when closed. This helmet also has a mesh face shield available. The Dominator can carry multiple accessories to create a helmet to your requirements and is suitable for mountaineering, Forestry, USAR, paramedic, rescue, and industrial uses.
R6V MKII Seeker:
The R6V MKII Seeker is a departure from the traditional configuration of rescue and bushfire helmets that Pacific make. The Seeker has a fiberglass reinforced composite shell with a single-piece form-molded polyethylene (PE) liner. The Seeker continues the Pacific tradition of creating versatile helmets that also serve as a platform for multiple accessories, with features such as attachable ear covers, torch base, Pacific’s new rubber goggle straps, and the ability to attach a range of helmet mounted communication units.
