Especially how it pick up.on your breathing and cancels out the noise of your breathing.

Your video is better than the ones MSA produces. Thank you, good job.

Been working with these packs for a while now and overall I'm a fan, thought the led's were kind of useless at first but as you adapt to the pack they are actually quite handy especially in low visibility. Thing that annoys me most though is the regulator, the bypass and hose swivel are connected so I frequently will accidently open my bypass when bend over or cause the hose to buckle. I have gotten used to it and anticipate it now but is definitely something that needs to be corrected. Great break down of the G1 Matt!

We're getting this in my department. We got our first look at em tonight. I can't wait to try it out.

I hope we can get some of what ever cleaner sanatizer they use at the factory. The wintergreen smells good.

We had a refresher course on our older packs last monday, and the instructor told us about the new G1, But after watching this video, im sharing it to as many departments as i can, GREAT video!

great video...

Hi +Matt Hinkle, your demo is great. Thanks for sharing. Does the G1 have a wireless(Bluetooth or similar) interface to a long range portable radio?

I just wanna go to school in an SCBA now.

We enjoy them, the only downside is the Pass alarm seems to active continously, although it's for firefighter safety so 🤷‍♂️

You know you can turn them off with out turning off the cylinder right😶

@@rexair_dude1915 I did not know that, how would you do that? Unless you mean removing the battery. It would also go against SOP's and be an insurance nightmare under injury.

Anyone know when the 8000psi extended life cylinders will be released

Amazing technology!

Brennan Lawson Thanks for checking the video out! Hope to have many more out soon.

Nice pak

Still waiting on the thermal cams in Michigan. They're paid for folks.....

Random question. Why don't these systems have a secondary mouth piece, like in case you need to share air with a person you are rescuing?

Have you heard of any complaints or experienced any firsthand with the new being harder or more laboring to breathe with the G1? We are currently testing 3 different SCBA packs and the common complaint is the MSA G1 is more difficult to inhale with compared to the other 2 (Scott & Interspiro)

+Ben Patchett I haven't personally heard those complaints. I haven't worn Interspiro but I have worn Scott for awhile and the flow felt similar to me. There is definitely still a difference when not connected to your air. If you are recovering in between runs in a training building and leave your mask on but disconnect the regulator I could see that for sure. I don't feel like I have had enough time in the G1 yet to give a real in depth opinion of it's strength. I know I really like a lot of the design features on the pack I just haven't had the time to put it through it's paces.

cant wait to get these at our dept. they arent scotts, but the next best thing, and 1bazillion times better then what we got now

Where are the serial numbers located on the packs?

@Boxalarmtraining

I will have to check with a friend of mine. I imagine it is located on the frame and possibly on the pass menu during startup. I'm sure somewhere in the software you will see the serial number. You may also have to look on the lower assembly where the bottle connects to the system to see if it is machined or laser etched on that part of the system. I can let you know for sure after I talk with my contact.

+Matthew Thompson If you lay the pack on a table with the bottle down you will find the serial number in an indention on the back frame (body side) underneath where the straps enter the frame. You will have to pull some slack where the straps connect to the back frame and you should see the serial number underneath. He said it would be on the right side if you lay the pack on a table bottle down.

+Matt Hinkle thank you buddy we found it. I sure appreciate it brother!

Really do like this pack, but, the straps are junk. They get twisted in buckles and slip when wet. Over all it dose the job.

Our department has these packs.

Total garbage, the regulator doesn't swivel so when you turn your head and the bypass opens up. The hose kinks, we drilled on a fireman down and the waist belt unbuckles on them. Never have I looked at those dumb lights to reliazed I'm running low on air.

Maybe you should drill with the lights so you can be a more valuable asset to your team.

Jim Jim I’m with you, man. This thing has too many bells and whistles. The bypass is incredibly easy to accidentally open. The mics in the regulator make communication more difficult because all you hear is everyone breathing. The shoulder straps are too wide and make working overhead (pulling ceiling) more difficult. More features = less functionality. Less is more.

Are these the SCBA's that the City of Chicago currently use?

I'm not sure if they currently use the G1 but I'm positive they have worn MSA before.
