Convertible Jacket

NFPA 1951 Compliant
Meets and exceeds the Rescue and Recovery provisions of NFPA 1951: Standard on Protective Ensembles for Technical Rescue Operations, 2007 Edition, Rescue and Recovery provisions with barrier installed and Utility provisions with barrier removed. Provides protection from flash fire and, with the barrier installed, provides protection from NFPA common liquids* and blood and body fluids.

Front Closure / High-Temp Polymer Zippers
Storm flap secured by VELCRO® fastener covers a large, strong and easy-to-zip high-temp polymer zipper. Lighter weight hidden polymer zippers inside secure an optional fleece liner.

Free Hanging Throat Tab
Throat tab hangs freely away from your neck and out of the way when not deployed. When deployed, there is no exposed VELCRO™ on either the tab or collar. Tab is scooped out across the top with added coverage across the bottom for precision mask interface, collar adjustment, and protection.

Fleece-Lined Collar
NOMEX™ fleece lines the collar, creating a cozy, non-irritating and thermally resistant collar.

Optional Fleece Liner
Flame-resistant NOMEX® fleece liner can be worn independently or can be zipped into the CONVERTIBLE™ Jacket as a winter liner.

Removable Free-Hanging Barrier
2-layer laminated barrier is more flexible and allows for customization of the separate outer shell fabric layer without penetrating the CROSSTECH® S/R barrier. The barrier is secured with snaps under the front facings, with VELCRO® fastener under the fleece collar, and with snap tabs to the hem so that the barrier can be removed when conditions change.

Choice of Flame-Resistant Outer Shell Fabrics
Choose from NOMEX® IIIA or Millenia ™ Light outer shell fabric treated with Super Shelltite™ durable water repellent finish for weather and stain resistance.

Contoured Sleeves
Ergonomically curved sleeves follow the natural shape of your arm to work with you – not against you. Contoured and graded for each jacket size so you always get the right fit.

AXTION ™ Sleeve
Pleats built into the shell and darts in the liner on the front and back of each sleeve provide extra length where you need it for reaching up. This system allows you to raise your arms with complete mobility and with minimal coat rise.

New Length
CONVERTIBLE™ is a hip-length jacket and is cut longer in the back than the front to fit more like an everyday jacket but with even more coverage. Elastic in the back them of both the shell and liner keeps the generous fit close to the body.

Flame-Resistant CROSSTECH® S/R fabric
CROSSTECH® S/R fabric is an intimate bi-component membrane that is laminated to a flame-resistant NOMEX® IIIA woven fabric. This fabric is highly breathable and liquid penetration resistant to blood, body fluids, common accident scene chemicals*, and water, providing comfort and heat stress relief unmatched by any other liquid barrier.

Taped Seams
All seams and stitching through the CROSSTECH® S/R fabric are sealed with GORESEAM® tape on proprietary GORE-SEAM® sealing machines, utilizing the latest technology from W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.

Optional Cuff Reinforcement
Cuffs may be reinforced with an extra layer of your choice of materials, doublestitched for extended wear.

Optional Zip Cuffs with Sleeve Wells
Motorcycle style zippers in the sleeve allows access to pull on and secure gauntlet gloves. Sleeve wells keep water out of your sleeve when you reach up out of your gloves when your arms are down.

Optional Reflective Trim / TRI MTR AX™ Thread Protection System
3M SCOTCHLITE™ reflective material in 2” or 3” triple trim design is available in your choice of lime/yellow (silver center) or red/orange (silver center) to provide day/night visibility. Our patented TRIMTRAX™ system of abrasion resistant KEVLAR® cording protects the thread securing our reflective trim from abrasion. Lasts 5 times longer than conventional trim stitching so maintenance costs are lower and your gear is in service more often.

Cargo / Handwarmer Pockets
Lower cargo pockets with BDUstyle expansion pleats have integral handwarmer pockets lined with NOMEX® fleece.
