The new Xtreme Shelter designed by Vallfirest combines a range of basic  characteristics which make it different from the traditional Fire Shelter II. The new mix of  materials provides an important improvement in isolation performance (see the graph),  while the new ergonomic design based on fetal position allows to reduce significantly  the weight and the volume, this way making it easier to transport and to unfold.

High resistance to abrasion, cuts and tears
Made with 1000 Cordura and breathable mesh.

Belt-integrated hydration system
Includes the Hydrapack® system with a tube and nozzle tip on the outside and 2.8 liter capacity with an upper opening for easy fill and cleaning. FDA-approved tank, PVC and BPA-free.

Customization
Possibility of adding a shield or logo.

More efficiency, less physical wear
The innovative design makes physical work more efficient. How? The flexible handle causes a whip effect for greater flapper speed with less effort, thereby increasing performance and user comfort. Greater operability due to the adjustable 45º attack angle.

A telescopic handle that is adaptable to any situation and user
A telescopic handle with an adaptable length for use and transport at different heights. The arm that joins the handle to the flapper is made of Pom Delrin C - Polyoxymethylene (Copolymer) is flexible to accumulate more power for the subsequent impact, helps reduce the effort of the movement. Plus, the flexibility absorbs the impact to prevent overloading on the user’s hands and arms.

Forged steel head. Heat treated working ends produce fine grain structure and RC 45 to 55 (Rockwell hardness value) for safety, edge holding and toughness. Red enamel coated body and clear lacquer cutting edges to discourage rust. Hickory handle. Dry section to moisture content below 10% to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening.

The head of the handle is inserted into the handle and fixed with a serrated aluminum wedge, made of resistant, lightweight material and does not expand or contract depending on humidity or temperature. The serrated shape of the wedge improves the bite. The head fixing hole is elongated and allows a strong mechanical connection.

Features:

• Wooden handle 1.3 meters.

The design includes high-visibility reflective strips on both sides and an all-new fixing system so it can be put on without having to take the helmet off as it features a double Velcro® system for use and rest and can be comfortably worn hanging from the neck when not being used.

Its main characteristic is its versatility in all types of terrain, thanks to the combination of the most used tools in forest fire extinction in a single multi-functional cutting blade, without the need to transport different tools.

The modifications have been made with the aim of improving the balance, functions and useful life of the materials used.

The Gorgui has an aluminum alloy central head on which the different functions are oriented, which become replaceable.

The new Mc Leod has been designed with a larger working surface and a greater height to have more pulling capacity. This improvement is essential in respect to Gorgui 1, as now there is no any interaction between the functions of the Mc Leod and the hoe, like in the previous model.

Mc Leod is much more clearly-defined as an individual tool in Gorgui

Pulaski hoe, designed for more organic soil, features a greater cutting surface, but the most important change here is the new balance. Due to the new aluminum head the weight is balanced much better, especially at the moment you have to apply a centered force when cutting or digging.

Pulaski part, designed for stony and rooty areas, features a new angle of attack.

Unlike the version 1, we now have an inclination angle of 6º and a new balance, which improve cutting and digging work.

Rake part has now got stronger cutting blades.

You can see the new design and all the clearly-defined functions presented together in one level.

The last new feature is the handle. We have taken the ergonomic design of the USFS McLeod varying the diameter of the handle according to the section

Made in a single piece(65% Lenzing® F.R., 30% Nomex®, 5% Kevlar®), it features a self-adherent central close system with six rear anchoring points for a perfect adjustment and nape and neck protection. The vft nape guard is compatible with any protective helmet.

The teeth have a great limited cutting capacity in stony areas. Heat tempered and replaceable teeth.
