1 - Lumbar Protection
3-inch wide half-moon Lumbar panel made from the same 3 layers of protection as the Trousers together with the higher waist design provide breathable overlap, padding for SCBA, and a perfect fit.
2 - KEVLAR® Belt
2-inch wide KEVLAR® webbing belt is secured by Shell fabric loops and high temperature polymer buckle. Belt is bartacked to the Trousers to prevent loss. Added Benefit: Supports the weight of the Trousers at the waist. Suspenders are included for secondary support if desired.
3 - 2-Layer Independent Waistband
Two inches wide and lined with water resistant fabric, the Waistband is cut on the bias (diagonally) for stretch and a comfortable, unrestricted fit. Added Benefit: Design reduces stress by redistributing weight away from the Suspenders and shoulders and onto the waist. Liner attaches under the Waistband for comfortable, no-gap protection.
4A - Double-Stitched Seams
The strongest stitching in the industry with double-needle seams and 8 to 10 stitches per inch for longer service life
4B - Heavy-Duty Closure
Full-length quadruple-stitched Velcro® fastener with external belt for a positive closure. Added Benefit: thermal fly inside provides additional, no-gap protection
5 - Angled Expansion Pockets
Two 2" X 8" X 6" angled full-bellows style pockets have an extra layer of Shell Material to reinforce the lower half for longer wear life. Perpendicular Velcro® fastener secures the flap empty or full. Added Benefit: Pocket flaps are oversize for complete coverage when pockets are full.
6 - Super-Duty H-Back Suspenders
Standard with every pair of Trousers, they feature 2-inch wide rigid webbing material over the shoulder for slip resistance, 2-inch wide elasticized front and back suspender button attatchments for unrestricted motion, and high temperature polymer hardware. Ripcord quick-release design is also available.
7 - Flex-Action Knees
To add mobility to the knee when crawling, kneeling, or climbing, we sew a proportionally contoured bellows panel incorporating 4
expansion pleats into the Outer Shell, complemented by darts in the Thermal Liner and Moisture Barrier of the knee.
8 - Thermally Enhanced Knees
An extra layer of your specified Thermal Liner and Moisture Barrier in the Liner Knees adds padding for comfort and protects this high compression area.
9 - Reverse Boot Cut
Trouser legs are 1 inch shorter in the back to avoid premature cuff wear.
9A - Heavy-Duty Cuff Reinforcement
Our Cuff Reinforcements are twice as wide and set with double the rows of stitching a total of 4 rows. Pearl gray premium leather is standard with many other reinforcement material options available.
10 - Patented TRIMTRAX™ Thread Protection
The wear tested solution to premature trim stitching failure. Abrasion-resistant cording protects the thread. Added Benefit: Lasts at least 7 times longer than industry standard so maintenance costs are lower and your gear is in service with minimum downtime
10A - Reflective Trim
We offer a wide choice of trim styles and materials to meet your visibility requirements.
11 - Reinforced Hardware
All hook & dees and suspender buttons are reinforced with precision die-cut leather. Reinforcement is centered to ensure that the hardware never misses the intended application point.
