Conterra is an EMS and rescue equipment manufacturer. Conterra has been building technical equipment for over 28 years in Bellingham Washington. All products bearing the CONTERRA label are hand built in the UNITED STATES by skilled workers, at a living wage. At Conterra they will not build a product for emergency use unless they can make it better and more unique than the competition. Their gear is designed with personal safety and convenience in mind. Conterra bags open with as few operations as possible, speeding up your response time, while decreasing the need for bio cleanup. They use absolutely the strongest, highest quality materials available, including Ballistics nylon , #10 coil zippers, and their new SI- TEX FLUID PROOF FABRIC. Even their label is made of fluid proof, injection molded vinyl.
