Product Description
NEW ITEM
The DHS APPS (Advanced Personal Protection System) process was modified to develop the new WLFF PPE garment system. An Integrated Process Team (IPT) comprised of experienced wildland firefighters from the USFS and state, county, and city fire departments from California were selected to participate in the program. The IPT validated a risk assessment, defined operational requirements, and selected the materials for the PPE garment system.
Greater thermal protection, a reduction in heat stress, and improved form fit and function of the PPE garment system was the result of this assessment. The new APPS WLFF PPE not only can reduce heat injury rates, but should also increase the operational effectiveness of the wildland firefighter.
The Gen II Response Jacket answers the requirements of the DHS, Natick and IPT committee’s initiative to move forward with a single layer wildland fire fighting garment system with greatly improved performance. Exceeds the NFPA’s 1977 minimum requirements for thermal protection and breathability, This garment provides enhanced safety features with superior comfort.
