The Applied Science of Ergonomics

More comfort, less fatigue and greater productivity are the goals of ergonomic design. Nowhere is this more important than to firefighters performing their hazardous and demanding work. Innovative features such as our Expansion-Plus Sleeves, Collar Break, Telescoping Sleeve Wells and Flex-Action Knees are all engineered to work with you – not against you. Just try on Cairns gear and you’ll feel the difference.

Built Tougher to Last Longer

We use the industry’s strongest double-needle seams with 8 to 10 stitches per inch – 25% more than anyone else. We incorporate extra-wide cuff reinforcements with 4 rows of stitching – that’s double the width, double the stitching. And, we use our patented TRIMTRAX™ thread protection system to secure our reflective trim – which is at least 5 times more abrasion resistant than others. These extra measures translate into lower maintenance costs, longer service life and lasting value for you.
