V-Force®

Tough, innovative turnouts combining combat and sports technology.

Every firefighter knows gear that looks good on paper can still fight you on the job. V-Force turnout gear was built around real firefighter movement, combining the cut-in-motion design principles of combat and athletic apparel to deliver PPE that flexes, reaches, and crawls with you instead of against you. V-Force turnouts are available in custom sizing and in a range of material combinations, with your choice of additional gear options, including five pant styles and true women's cuts engineered to match female firefighter proportions, not just a resized men's pattern. The result: turnout gear built for mobility and comfort, without sacrificing protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes V-Force turnout gear different from standard turnout gear?
    V-Force uses a cut-in-motion V-Fit® design borrowed from combat and sports apparel. Seams sit at the back instead of the shoulders and sides, so the gear moves with your body instead of restricting it.
  • Does V-Force meet NFPA requirements?
    Yes, V-Force gear is NFPA 1970-certified.
  • Is V-Force available in women's sizing?
    Yes. V-Force turnouts are engineered specifically for female firefighters, with adjustments in coat length, pant sizing, and overall fit.
  • Is V-Force customizable?
    Yes. V-Force turnouts offer custom sizing, a range of material combinations, and your choice of additional gear options, including five pant styles and true women's cuts.
  • How does V-Force help reduce working weight?
    The IsoDri® Moisture Management System, SemperDri™ treated materials, and streamlined storm flap work together to reduce water absorption and bulk, keeping gear lighter through a full shift.
  • What knee and elbow protection does V-Force include?
    V-Notch™ elbow and knee reinforcements use polymer-coated aramid (PCA) to protect high-abrasion areas while keeping heat and moisture out.
