Quaker Safety offers its customers a broad selection of garment styles, materials and options from which to choose. Custom sized garments enhance the comfort, mobility and safety of the fire fighter. Coats are available in a variety of lengths and a range of even chest sizes from 30” to 68”, with sleeves available in one inch increments. Pants are available in a variety of styles and a range of even waist sizes from 26” to 64”, with inseams available in one inch increments.

The majority of Quaker Safety’s structural outer shells are treated with an enhanced water repellent finish for superior abrasion and water absorption resistance, as compared to conventional water repellent finishes.

All moisture barriers manufactured by W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. and Stedfast Inc. offer outstanding breathability, thermal stability and durability.

The face cloth of all thermal liners manufactured by TenCate Protective Fabrics includes a wicking finish to enhance comfort by moving perspiration away from the body and spreading moisture for improved dissipation.

All major seams are quadruple stitched with Tex 90 NOMEX® thread for unsurpassed strength. Lock stitching is used on all minor seams.

All major seams are double stitched with Tex 60 NOMEX® thread for extra strength. Lock stitching is used on all minor seams.

All hook and loop tape is treated with a fire retardant (FR) finish to provide a service life far exceeding that of conventional hook and loop tape.

All stress points are bartacked for extra strength. Secured through at least two layers of material or backed by suede leather to prevent the hardware from “pulling through” the garment.

External pockets include flaps secured with FR hook and loop tape and brass drainage eyelets.

All outer shells and liners include bar code labels to facilitate tracking.

being “highly visible” is extremely important. In accordance with NFPA Standards, Quaker Safety attaches reflective trim, constructed of both fluorescent and retroreflective materi-als, to the outer shell of its structural fire fighting garments to enhance vis-ibility. The fluorescent trim enhances daytime visibility while the retroreflec-

tive trim enhances nighttime visibility. (Retroreflectivity values for retroreflec-tive materials are 150 to 1,500 times higher than skin or white fabric). The various brands of reflective trim which Quaker Safety offers improves the likelihood that fire fighters will in fact be “highly visible” both during the day-time and nighttime hours.

Low visibility has become a contrib-uting cause in vehicle related acci-dents while fighting fires and perform-ing emergency medical service and traffic control functions. Drivers pass-ing an accident scene or emergency response situation have only seconds to notice and respond to the pres-ence of a first responder. Therefore,

Take all measurements over any clothing or equipment that the user would normally wear underneath the protective garment (e.g., belt, cell phone, pager, etc.), taking into account that individuals may weigh more and wear more clothing during colder months. Patterns for females are available but are seldom necessary to ensure a proper fit. Non-proportional body measurements should be noted on your order. Always provide height and weight measurements. Ensure that there is sufficient overlap as required by NFPA 1500 (current edition). NFPA 1500 mandates that all layers shall have at least a 2” overlap between the coat and pant when measured in both of the following positions: Standing, hands together, reaching overhead as high as possible; and Standing, hands together, reaching overhead with body bent forward, to the side, and to the back as much as possible

Sizing Suits are available for your use and are the preferred method of obtaining the most accurate measurements; however, properly taken tape measurements work well. Please note that previous generation QS-103/Traditional sizing suits should not be used. Always try on the sizing coat while wearing the sizing pant to ensure a proper fit.

Belly and hip measurements should not be supplied when measurements have been verified using sizing suits.

Chest: Wearer should go through a full range of motion to make sure the shoulders and chest fit comfortably.

Sleeve: Determine sleeve length by adding or subtracting from the length of the sizing coat sleeve.

Waist: Wearer should go through a full range of motion including squatting and climbing to make sure there is adequate room in the seat and thigh.

Inseam: Determine inseam length by adding or subtracting from the length of the sizing pant inseam.

Chest: Raise both arms 90° to the body. Position the measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, over the shoulder blades, and under the arms. Take a deep breath, hold it, and lower arms. Record the largest measurement.

Sleeve: Raise one arm so that it is at a 90° angle to the body. Next bend your arm so that your hand is towards your chest. Measure from the spine starting just below the base of the neck, around the shoulder and elbow, to the wrist bone.

Waist: Measure at the waistline, over belt or pant waistband.

Belly: Measure around the body at the navel.

Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.

Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the ankle bone, ensuring that the individual is standing up straight and the tape measure is not bunched up in the crotch.

Do not use other manufacturers’ sizes, sizing instructions or garments to deter-mine measurements. Do not allow individuals to measure themselves.
