Future firefighters may look surprisingly like “RoboCop” with a new armor system designed by Scott Summit called the ‘PyroPack.’ Featuring everything from a heads-up display to a Spiderman-style drychem nozzle located on the arm, the ‘PyroPack’ weighs surprisingly little due to modern manufacturing and new fire-resistant materials. Each ‘PyroPack’ backpack is custom fitted to the user to ensure optimum weight distribution and maximum flexibility.  Each pack would cost around $7K, likely lower as machines improve speed and resolution. This is comparable to the cost of a current pack, which comprises many welded parts and low-quantity fabrication runs.
