Forest firefighter gear includes fire suits, helmets, gloves, boots, and tools made from high-quality, flame-resistant materials. Garments are often adorned with reflective tape for visibility and fleece undergarments provide added comfort and protection. Helmets and shields protect against falling debris and embers.
There are several types of forest firefighter gear ranging from underwear and gloves to fire suits. Helmets, helmets and eye protection are offered as firefighter gear in the wild areas. Fire boots and fire tools are also manufactured by manufacturers of equipment for wildland firefighters. Backpacks, harnesses, and other utility tools are also offered as components by firefighting supply suppliers.
Designed for the ultimate in fire protection, the forest firefighter gear is made from the highest quality materials. Heavy leather and man-made materials are used to build wildland firefighter gear such as boots and gloves. The undergarments are manufactured with the latest technological materials that offer protection against heat and fire, as well as comfort, wicking moisture away from the wearer. The brush shirts are made from the highest quality flameproof material and are sewn using a flame resistant thread for added fire protection. Shirt padding packs are also offered to ease the shoulders when wearing a loaded backpack or hauling heavy equipment to a fire scene in an over-the-shoulder carry style.
Wilderness firefighter jackets and pants are made from flame resistant materials designed to burn and fuel fire. Garments manufactured and marketed as gear for wildland firefighters are often adorned with reflective tape to help make it easier for firefighters to see. The illuminating tape is designed to reflect the flickering flames of a fire as well as the beam of light from a point light. The garments are also manufactured in a bright, easy-to-see yellow/green color for maximum day and night visibility. Offered in two-piece and one-piece models, the wildfire suits feature D-ring and hook-and-loop compartment systems to promote proper fit, sealing and protection from heat and flame.
Fleece-type undergarments don’t just provide a layer of fire-resistant protection; Wilderness firefighter clothing also adds comfort and protection when used as an outdoor garment. The soft fleece material is designed to provide heat protection and is made from components that won’t melt, drip or ignite – even when in direct contact with fire and flames. Gaiters can also be used to protect against sparks and flames entering the wearer’s neckline. Other wilderness firefighter gear such as helmets and shields are used to protect a firefighter from falling and wind-blown embers that could injure a firefighter’s face, neck, and head area.
