Have you seen the commercial for the Tyco-Scott airpacks?

It's not an in-your-face commercial. It just kinda torques me that they're using firemen to get their name out there, for what? The SCBA isn't the firedogs choice, it's his employer, weather it's city, county or an evil big corporation.

His employer could have easily chosen from MSA, Draeger, SurvivAir (which I've used with great effect), or any other resperatory protection.

If I were going to buy any kind of personal protective equipment, that commercial would tell me that I didn't want a Tyco-Scott Airpac. If it leaks so bad that my face was covered in that much soot, I'd know my breathing would be adversly affected, too.
