CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY IN FIREFIGHTER TURNOUTS

• Balanced Protection
  Professional sports and military technology combined to create turnout gear that provides the optimum balance of comfort, mobility and protection.
• Natural Movement
  Unique pattern mimics the natural shape of the body to support natural movement and reduce firefighter stress and fatigue.
• IsoDri® Moisture Management System
  Standard with IsoDri® Moisture Management System. Absorbs less water and helps protect against compression burns, while having drier, lighter gear.
• Superior Cut-in-Motion Design
  Balances the weight of the turnout, so it moves with the body for complete protection.

CUSTOM FIT BEGINS WITH CUSTOM STYLES

• V-Force® Coat
  This coat is more comfortable than common firefighting coats, because it is cut much differently. The coat seams are not at the shoulders and sides, but at the back. Sides are contoured for less bulk, while raglan sleeves provide free movement.
• V-Force® Coat With Optional Bi-Swing Back
  Find an even greater range of motion with the V-Force® Coat with Optional Bi-Swing Back. It features inverted pleats in both the outer shell and liner system that expand as your arms move forward. The result is no tugging, binding or bunching of material.
• Belted Pants
  A low-rise waist with belt loops and a 2-inch Kevlar® belt with a quick-release, thermoplastic buckle.
• Ultra-Low Rise Pants
  Reduced front rise to sit comfortably on the hips like a pair of jeans without sacrificing thermal protection. The widened crotch gusset allows enhanced mobility, and the waist height reduces bunching and wear and tear from wearing pants too low.
• Lumbar Support Pants
  Orthopedically designed to provide adjustable mechanical support when lifting, bending forward, standing or performing emergency rescues.
• High-Back Pants
  Offers a 5-inch back panel extension above the waist. A unique hook and loop support pad attaches LION’s V-Back™ Suspenders to the pants.
