Multi Mission Nomex IIIA Jacket
Dual-Certified to meet or exceed NFPA 1951 Utility Technical Rescue for Protective Apparel where exposure to Physical and Thermal Hazards are expected and NFPA 1977 Standard on Protective Clothing and equipment for Wildland Fire Fighting.MAIN BODY FABRIC: 6 oz./sq. yd. (200 grams/sq. meter) 100% Nomex IIIA® – (93% Nomex / 5% Kevlar / 2% P140 Anti-Static Fiber blend). Nomex IIIA is inherently flame resistant and doesn’t melt, drip or burn when exposed to flame or heat. The addition of the P140 fibers gives the fabric permanent static resistant properties. Fabric has Shelltite™ finish for durable water repellency and stain resistance. Fabric is resistant against acids, alkalis and industrial lubricants. Easy to wash or dry clean with extremely low shrinkage and no loss of flame or static resistance after repeated launderings. Fabric has exceptional abrasion resistance and mechanical strength ensuring a long wear life (wear life can exceed FR treated cotton by six times). Nomex IIIA is currently the fabric of choice for the U.S. Forest Service for their Wildland Firefighting requirements.
REINFORCEMENT FABRIC: 6.6 oz./sq. yd (225 grams/sq. meter) TenCate Pioneer™ Fabric – Blend of 70% Kevlar® and 30% Nomex Twill Weave with ENFORCE™ Technology. Enforce technology is TenCate’s patentpending proprietary fabric which engineers high-strength Kevlar fibers into super-strength strands spun into a double-helix formation which are interlaced with other technical yarns resulting in lighter, stronger and more comfortable and flexible fabrics – perfect for reinforcing high wear areas in the knees, elbows and cuffs. Super Shelltite™ finish for durable water repellency and enhanced abrasion resistance. Fabric is stronger and more cut and abrasion resistant than comparable reinforcement fabrics.
- Four inch high Alpine style collar can be worn folded down to allow venting or zipped up to completely cover neck providing additional protection from heat and flame. Unlike conventional Wildland coats no bulky throat strap and closure system required. Hanger loop at neck.
- Seamless shoulders eliminate bulky seams and allow maximum mobility while reducing wear and seam pressure under weight of a pack harness.
- Double pull Zytel FR50 Delrin zipper with Nomex tape is covered by storm-flap with intermittent hook/loop closures.
- Self-fabric Flashlight Holder is positioned on storm flap sternum height. This multi-loop construction with adjustable & removable hook/loop strap allows for maximum flexibility & hand free operation.
- Radio pocket with hook/loop flap closure and microphone holder loop set above the pocket flap.
- Utility pocket with hook and loop flap closure on right chest and D-ring at bottom for hanging gloves or gear.
- Radial sleeve design allows full arm movement and assures “no hike” fit when arms are raised over shoulders.
- Articulated elbows promote freedom of movement as well as a more contoured fit.
- 6.6 oz./sq. yd. (225 grams/sq. meter) TenCate PIONEER™ fabric reinforcements at elbows, forearms and cuffs in contrasting black color provides exceptional cut, tear, abrasion and water resistance in high wear area.
- Adjustable cuffs incorporate hook/loop tab closure for easy adjustment even when wearing gloves. Partially elasticized wrist allows cuff to be tightly secured without impeding circulation or movement.
- Gusset at cuff has secondary hook/loop strip allowing cuff to be opened to its fullest extent for maximum ventilation or to allow glove cuff to be tucked inside.
- 3-Dimensional large cargo hip pockets with hook/loop flap closures expand for extra storage capacity and have built-in hand warmer compartments. Right cargo pocket has ¾” wide nickel-plated swivel snap hook attached to 6” self-fabric strap. Snap hook sewn to inside of pocket. Strap allows it to be pulled out for easy accessibility. Perfect for securing key rings or other valuables. Left cargo pocket has elastic strap sewn on the inside – pocket for holding a water bottle.
- OPTIONAL 3M™ Scotchlite™ Flame Resistant Retro Reflective Trim in New York style configuration. Trim to be sewn around sleeves at biceps and forearms, and around body at bottom of coat and around mid-section both front and back.
- All pocketing and thread 100% Nomex for flame resistance and durability.
