SUPPLIER PROFILE: True North - Patent pending products in the pipeline

Order Reprints

True North began in 1992 with a line of backpacks that featured a patented suspension system, designed for the outdoor recreation market. Because of the comfort and functionality of our patented suspension, we received a steady stream of requests from wildland firefighters to make firefighting packs. The company eventually designed the Firefly™, which became a top-selling wildland firefighting pack, and began an ongoing series of design collaborations with firefighters to develop equipment based on their needs and performance-based criteria. Today True North is one of the most recognized brands in firefighting equipment.

The company has since diversified into the industrial safety market with such products as Nomex® FR fleece outerwear under the DragonWear™ brand. DragonWear® flame and arc-resistant clothing has been well received by the utility, petrochemical and other industries where arc and fire hazards exist. Offering comfort, style, performance and security, the DragonWear® clothing line includes FR jackets, shirts, pants, headwear and more. DragonWear FR apparel is manufactured in the USA.
