Turnout Clothing
Turnout clothing can consist of a combination of trousers with an overall strap attached, boots, and a jacket. Most fire services seem to use a trouser/jacket combination. The advantage of this combination is the ability to take off the jacket in situations where the jacket is not necessary. Since bunker gear insulates the body from the outside air, the body heats up rapidly: taking off a jacket helps considerably in keeping cool.
