LayerFlex garments are particularly useful when a fire service is faced with a range of operations requiring different levels of protection, and may need to switch between roles quickly. The top-layer coat is similar in style and specification to a structural coat, but has no collar. When appropriate, the top-layer coat can be removed, providing more suitable levels of protection and performance when the immediate danger of fire is removed. This serves to improve ergonomics and comfort, and crucially can contribute to the lowering of heat stress in firefighters. The Top-Layer Coat and Mid-Layer Coats, selected by the Collaborative Framework, are worn together in combination with the XFlex structural trousers for full structural firefighting protection. Also available in Female sizes.
