Ricochet Manufacturing: Turnout Gear
NFPA certification is only where we start!
Ricochet manufactures all of our personal protective equipment (PPE) in an ISO 9001 certified facility in Philadelphia, PA. To meet NFPA 1999, 1951 & 1971 standards, Ricochet garments undergo numerous tests designed to guarantee durability and effectiveness of the barriers to liquid and liquid-borne pathogen penetration under the extreme conditions these barriers may face in the field. As tough as the NFPA standards are, creating PPE that is just "good enough" to meet the NFPA certification is not good enough for us. That’s why, at Ricochet, we engineer clothing that goes above and beyond the requirements of NFPA 1999, 1951 and 1971.
