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.

Famous quotes containing the word clothing:
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
