Abstract
A multi-use hazardous duty garment ensemble, such as a firefighting turnout garment, comprises an outer shell component and a removable inner liner component positioned within the outer shell component. The inner liner component is separable by the outer shell component and is adapted to be wearable as a second hazardous duty garment, such as an emergency medical service garment or a station work uniform garment. The outer shell component, separated from the inner liner component, is adapted to be wearable as a third hazardous duty garment, such as a wildfire brush fire firefighting garment.

A multi-use hazardous duty garment ensemble comprising:
- an outer shell adapted to be worn separately as a garment and having a layer of abrasion, heat and flame resistant material;
- an inner liner positioned within said outer shell, said inner liner being separable from said outer shell and adapted to be worn separately as a garment, said inner liner having an outer layer of abrasion, flame and heat resistant material, a layer of moisture barrier material positioned inside said outer layer and bonded to said outer layer, and at least one layer of thermal barrier material positioned inside said moisture barrier layer;
- a first closure attached to said outer shell for securing said outer shell garment about a wearer;
- and
- a second closure attached to said inner liner for securing said inner liner garment about a wearer.
A multi-use hazardous duty garment ensemble comprising:
- an outer shell;
- and
- an inner liner positioned within said outer shell, said inner liner being separable from said outer shell and adapted to be worn separately as a second garment which meets relevant performance standards of an emergency medical service garment and can be used as a station uniform, said inner liner having a thermal liner including a layer of closed-cell, apertured flame and heat resistant foam attached to a substrate of an abrasion, heat and flame resistant material, and a moisture barrier including a layer of a semi-permeable membrane material attached to a substrate of a heat, flame and abrasion resistant material, said thermal liner being oriented such that said substrate thereof acts as an outer shell of said inner liner, and said moisture barrier being oriented such that said substrate thereof acts as a face cloth to protect the entire ensemble from abrasion from the wearer and wearer's clothes.
A multi-use hazardous duty garment comprising:
- an outer shell;
- and
- an inner liner positioned within said outer shell, said inner liner being separable from said outer shell and adapted to be worn separately as a second hazardous duty garment;
- said inner liner including a closure for securing said second garment about a wearer and has a portion adapted to cover an area of the human body, said portion comprising an outer layer of abrasion, flame and heat resistant material;
- a layer of moisture barrier material inside of said outer layer;
- a layer of thermal barrier material inside of said moisture barrier;
- and a layer of face cloth material inside of said thermal barrier.
A multi-use hazardous duty jacket ensemble having sleeve portions and a body portion comprising:
- an outer shell;
- an inner liner positioned within said outer shell, said inner liner being separable from said outer shell and adapted to be worn separately as a second hazardous duty jacket;
- and
- a means for releasably attaching said inner liner to said outer shell;
- said inner liner comprising a body portion, sleeve portions attached to said body portion, and a closure attached to said body portion for securing said second jacket about a wearer;
- said body portion and said sleeve portions of said inner liner including an outer layer of abrasion, time and heat resistant material, a layer of moisture barrier material inside of said outer layer, a layer of thermal barrier material inside of said moisture barrier layer, and a layer of face cloth material inside of said thermal barrier layer.
A multi-use hazardous duty garment comprising:
- an outer shell;
- and
- an inner liner positioned within said outer shell, said inner liner being separable from said outer shell and adapted to be worn separately as a second hazardous duty garment;
- said inner liner including a closure for securing said second garment about a wearer and has a portion adapted to cover an area of the human body, said portion comprising an outer layer of abrasion, flame and heat resistant material;
- a layer of moisture barrier material inside of said outer layer;
- a layer of thermal barrier material inside of said outer layer;
- and an inner-most layer of face cloth material.
