Our department uses Scott Airpacks. I have found them to be reliable, durable, and have the best technology.

Scott is also the brand my department uses. We all really like them and will choose there carbon fiber bottles over our heavy metal ones any day.

My dept uses the 4.5's with carbon bottles, and I must say they are excellent. They function very simply, are extremely easy to change the bottles, and they are very durable. I also like how Scott doesn't update their masks very often, so they are compatible on all the new packs, and on some of the older ones.

Scott is a good pack we have 4.5's in our dept. They are alittle pricey when it comes to added options but they have good options. only problems we are having with them are the batteries. They seem to eat batties alot but some of it my be due to operator error. Not my favorite pack but the ones that we bought due to under bidding.

Great airpack. The harness is more comfortable than those I've worn in the past and the carbon fiber bottles makes you feel like you are carrying air on your back (oh, wait, you are). Seriously, the padding is in all the right places, the heads up display is easily viewable, and the optional voice amplifier makes communication much easier - even works well with a radio. The only downside that I have found is the battery life seems a bit short.

I have used Scott brand air packs for 99% of my career and will never use anything else. They work and are comfortable (Air Pack Fifties), and I like the low profile masks that wont get snagged.

As far as i can tell these are great pieces of equiptment.
This is they only airpack my department uses.
There is often a discussion as to what brand of airpacks are the best, and i think the answer is conclusive : The best SCBA is the one you train with

SCOTT airpacks are the cadillac of all airpacks...for a short time our district switched to MSA after demo-ing SCOTT, MSA and ISI airpacks...wasnt too long before the penny pinchers decided to go back to SCOTT...I personally have always like the SCOTT airpack...enjoy the fit...and appreciate the steps SCOTT has taken to make the airpack NFPA compliant

I think that Scott is a good air pack and love the old Air-pack 50's but these new NXG2's have way to many electrical problems. The station I run at has had 2 board upgrades so far and still have multiple probelm from the heads up display not working to the audibles for the pack shuting off well the pack is in use. I think there are to many wires anymore in what used to work great.

We use the Scott,s 4.5, Great SCBA, easy to use, comfortable to wear, love the voice amplifier, the only downside is that it seems to eat batteries quick, but other than that it's a simple, reliable and tough.

I mostly use MSA and Survivair SCBA's, but had the opportunity to wear the Scott Air-Pak 75 with 4500psi bottles at a training class recently. I was amazed at how lightweight the pack was compared to what I usually wear. I kept forgetting I had it on. I like the way the regulator twists in and locks to the facepiece, it feels more secure than the usual MSA snap-in type. On the downside, the motion detector for the PASS device is located in the bottom of the unit, so I found myself having to jump up and down or side to side in order to keep the alarm from activating. On the MSA packs, the sensor is contained inside the device itself, so you can just tap or shake the device with one hand. It also seemed that the lithium batteries needed replacing more often than with the Survivair units I'm used to.

We just recently replaced all of our old Scott 22 systems with the newer 4500. Ours have the Heads Up Display, locator systems with them. They are a very nice system, with a lot of options. The only difference I would make is getting the 1 hour bottles verses the 30 minute bottles.

I used these things on a daily basis during my time in the Navy. I think the Scott SCBA is a great product and allows life saving air during fires and overhauls in confined spaces. The SCBA is a major life saving tool not just in this great nations military services, but also in fire departments around the world. A+ in my book
