Futuristic Fashions

The bar has been raised for comfort and mobility in bunker gear, thanks to Janesville’s V-Force line from Lion Apparel. Working with the company that created the advanced ergonomic concept for the Army’s Future Soldier Project, the result is a streamlined garment that improves firefighter safety by allowing its wearers to move more freely and naturally. The new design has contoured shaping in both the coat and pants for better fit and mobility, and reduces bunching of materials in key areas such as the elbows, shoulders, crotch and knees. The jacket has a shaped throat tab that interfaces with any SCBA mask, and its shoulder design eliminates the seams that cause discomfort when compressed by SCBA straps.
