Key Benefits

• Reduces Heat Stress on the body
• Durability
• Flexibility

Capabilities: 
All turn-out gear meets NFPA document #1971 standards. To learn more, click here.

Coat, Pants/Coveralls

• Three layer ensemble provides a minimum evaporative heat transfer of
  130 W/min

  Effect: This will eliminate neoprene moisture barriers and possibly some combinations of the heavier thermal liners with some breathable moisture barriers.

• Conductive, compressive heat resistance test for shoulders and knees

  Effect: This is to insure that the shoulders and knees, when compressed, will afford the same level of protection as the base garment and will necessitate additional insulation in most, if not all systems, depending upon what three layers make up the base garment.

General

• Tests performed include Total Heat Loss (THL), measuring the garment’s ability to release body heat, Thermal Protective Performance (TPP), measuring thermal insulating qualities and resistance, Conductive Compressive Heat Resistance (CCHR), measuring thermal protection in high compression areas, Shower Test to verify complete moisture resistance, material and seam strength testing, Moisture Barrier fabric and seam testing for viral penetration, resistance to AFFF, battery acid, hydraulic fluids, surrogate gasoline fuel C and swimming pool chlorine additives. Since the standard addresses all of the ensemble elements there are numerous additional tests included in the standard.
