Hunter Apparel Solutions Limited Named Exclusive UK and Irish Distributor for CPP Garments
Hunter is proud to announce that we are now the exclusive UK and Irish distributor for CPP Garments. CPP (based in Sweden) sets the standard for highly protective base layer systems to prevent contaminant ingress.
This partnership brings game-changing undergarments to the firefighting market, offering 99.9% protection against toxic fire gases and particulates—significantly reducing the risk of exposure to cancer-causing contaminants for those on the front line.
Tackling a Critical Problem
Firefighters are at significant risk of cancer due to prolonged exposure to carcinogenic substances in fire environments. Skin absorption, inhalation, and ingestion of these toxins, particularly Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), are major contributors to occupational cancer risks. In 2022, the World Health Organisation (WHO) classified firefighting as a carcinogenic occupation.
CPP Garments’ undergarments provide a revolutionary solution to this critical issue, offering unmatched protection while maintaining breathability and comfort.
Unparalleled Protection
The undergarments are engineered with patented activated carbon technology, providing a 99.9% protection factor against toxic fire gases and particulates. This is a significant improvement over standard firefighter undergarments, which offer only 90% protection. Key features include:
- Three-layer fabric construction: An activated carbon inner layer on a cotton base, ensuring optimal absorption and barrier properties.
- Compatibility: Designed to be worn under EN469-certified fire suits.
- Versatility: Available in various sizes (M–XXL) for jackets, trousers, and fire hoods.
Key highlights of CPP’s innovative technology:
✅ Patented activated carbon fabric for superior protection.
✅ CE-certified undergarments designed for compatibility with EN469 fire suits.
✅ Proven to last for more smoke dives than most firefighters will ever see.
