Some situations call for specific technical requirements. In those moments, you need a garment that matches the task at hand. Whether you're wearing a Fire Axe Therma-FIT, an RB Compression, or the Fire Attack Dri-FIT, you can be confident that engineering is on your side.
Here's a few quick and easy birthday gifts for any firefighter. Try a Nike Dri-FIT performance t-shirt and a pair of athletic firefighter shorts. Throw in the Smoke Eater or RB Flex Classic baseball cap, and you have just created a package that will score big.
There's never an improper occasion for a quality hoodie. Superbly stitched, the Engine Company and Denver Hoodies will get you through any job or extra innings. You might want to shove an RB Beanie in the front pocket, just in case. For total comfort + function, there's no beating the Fire Rescue Sweats or their brother, the FD Sweats. Wear them to the gym, home from your shift, or out to breakfast.
Need a baby shower gift or a birthday present? Wait 'til you see the look on everybody's face when your little one unwraps his or her very own firefighter duty t-shirt, the RB Little Rookie. Or get your new recruit's career off to a good start with the Truckie in Training tee. If you just need a really cute kid's firefighter t-shirt, nothing works better than a firehouse dalmation puppy.
Looking for a gift with a little extra meaning? Why not give a gift that gives back? RIDE BACKWARDS is proud to offer three great charity items, the High Rise Dri-FIT, benefitting the Natl Fallen FF Foundation, the Red Shirt Friday tee supporting our brothers & sisters in the Armed Services, and the Firefighters Fighting Hunger long sleeve, raising money to feed the hungry in the U.S.
Proceeds from each shirt are donated to these very worthy causes.
Laugh out loud as you follow Troy, The Good Rookie, on his first day at Fire Station 8. With floors to mop, new tools to learn, and buckets of water to duck, there's lots of laughs and helpful tips for any new kid. The pressure is on as Troy tries to fit in with his crew while showing his lieutenant that he's a hard worker. Written and illustrated by a firefighter for rookies of all ages.
Makes a great package when combined with a Little Rookie or Big Rookie t-shirt, available in sizes 6mo to adult 2XL.
The Good Rookie is also available as an $8 download from Lulu.com
Need a gift for a specific occasion? Father's Day, Mother's Day, fire recruit graduation, marathon training, paramedic school? We have some great items in our shop that are perfect for these events. Check out the Bronzeback Dri-release tee, the RB Team Duffel, and the Fire Medic Dri-FIT. Any one of these is sure to be a hit.
Can't decide what to buy? Aren't sure what size? Don't know the difference between a 2T and 4T? No problem. Buy a RIDE BACKWARDS Gift Certificate and let them pick it out themselves. Get it done today and get it done right the first time. Sometimes it's fun to pick out your own present. Send it by email, with a birthday card, stick it in a stocking (or a boot for that matter)... this is a gift firefighters will be psyched to get any time of year.
RIDE BACKWARDS gift certificates DO NOT EXPIRE or lose value! EVER!
Great long sleeve alternatives include the Engine Company & Tech Rescue Nike Dri-FITs, the RB Compression, a body-fitting first layer, or the 100% cotton Fire Rescue long sleeve. All of them offer original fire designs, and are printed on quality materials engineered to last.
Okay, so sometimes you just have to buy a gift and you don't want to spend a lot of money. Nothing beats a hot cup of coffee on the way in to the firehouse. We make that easy with a durable firefighter coffee mug, made of double-walled stainless steel. You can also add some organization to a firefighter's life with a durable, all-purpose RB Gym Sack. And last but never least, a little Irish flair to add to your wardrobe. Oh, and everybody loves a sticker.
