For more than a century, LION has built its reputation around one core commitment: protecting those who put themselves in harm’s way. Today, that commitment expands once again.
LION is officially reentering the EN 469–compliant firefighting garments market with the launch of ENgage™ Turnout Gear—a new lineup of technical structural and wildland solutions designed for firefighters operating across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
The ENgage™ Turnout Gear line includes four distinct models, each engineered to meet specific operational needs while maintaining certified protection and firefighter-focused design:
Classic Edition – available assembled to order, offering proven EN 469–compliant protection with essential functionality
Select Edition – in stock, delivering enhanced storage, reinforced durability, and added flexibility
Ultra Edition – in stock, LION’s most advanced EN 469–compliant structural turnout gear for high-heat, high-demand operations
Wildlands Edition – in stock, a lightweight, breathable garment designed for bush fire and wildland firefighting environments
Together, these models provide departments and brigades with options that align performance, availability, and operational demands. Explore each model to see detailed specifications.
Firefighting conditions vary widely across regions. Heat exposure, terrain, call profiles, and work duration all shape what firefighters need from their gear. ENgage™ Turnout Gear reflects those realities—combining advanced materials, ergonomic patterning, and reinforced construction to support mobility, comfort, and durability in diverse environments.
Each model is built to perform where it matters most, without unnecessary complexity or compromise.
LION’s return to the EN market is not a reinvention. It is a continuation of decades spent designing certified turnout gear in close collaboration with firefighters around the world.
The ENgage™ lineup was developed with input from industry professionals and refined through LION’s long-standing expertise in protective apparel. From material selection to reinforcement placement, every decision supports protection, performance, and longevity—shift after shift.
ENgage™ Turnout Gear debuted in December 2025 in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with expanded availability for Latin America and the Caribbean beginning February 1, 2026. This phased rollout ensures readiness across regions while reinforcing LION’s long-term commitment to firefighter safety worldwide.
Reentering the EN 469 market marks an important milestone—but more importantly, it reaffirms LION’s belief that firefighters everywhere deserve access to certified, purpose-built protection designed for the realities they face.
