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.
