Morning Pride Clothing Unique Advantages
Compare Before You Buy!
Many times, departments specify brands
because they are familiar with them and
because a trusted dealer has that brand
to offer. We understand this; but when it
comes to field test wins, the number of
innovative patents held, the number of
departments converted and the number
of research grants issued, none of our
competitors comes close. And our lead
continues to grow.
We urge you to “Compare Before You
Buy.” Don’t just believe our competitors’
sales pitches. In fact, don’t believe ours!
Make US put our products where our
mouths are...make us PROVE our
superiority by field testing our products.
Catalogs
For a comprehensive list of all of our
products and the unique safety, comfort,
and technological advantages, please
see our Honeywell First Responder
Products catalogs, price lists and
Reference Guide available in printed
format, as well as on a single convenient
CD in pdf format. They may also be
downloaded from our website.
Fire Department
Presentations and Local
and Regional Seminars
In some cases, just reading, understanding,
and then comparing our
products’ unique advantages is
enough, while other products require
a hands-on demonstration to truly
appreciate their superiority. Along
with your local dealers, we sponsor
cost-free, hands-on demonstrations

and regional seminars. When we demonstrate
for you the comfort and quality of
our products, and show you the features
that make Honeywell First Responder
Products the most protective in the industry,
you’ll quickly realize that you
shouldn’t continue to work without them.
And, we’ll show you how affordable the
best really is. It isn’t necessary to accept
less than the best, and we’ll be glad to
show you how. But don't take our word
for it...let us supply you with the facts,
case studies and references from other
fire departments that refuse to buy less
than the best. Contact us today for a
presentation in your fire station or for
information on seminars in your area.
Leading Edge Technology
Morning Pride became the largest
selling brand of firefighter protective
clothing because of aggressive, and
competitively unmatched, investments in
research and development. That
research has allowed us to offer better
performing, more comfortable and more
Table of Contents
technologically advanced products. It
is the superiority of our product line that
has fueled our market growth. The
innovativeness of the Morning Pride
product line has been recognized by
over 160 U.S. patents, with numerous
additional patents pending (for a list of
those concepts currently commercially
available, please see pages 170 and 171
of this catalog). The most progressive
departments in the world now specify
Morning Pride advantages on a noexception
basis.
No- or Low-cost Field Test
Program
For more than 85 years, Morning Pride
has developed and delivered leading
edge technology in firefighter Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE). No- and
low-cost field test programs can be
arranged by contacting our Customer
Service Department.
Interfaced Bloodborne
Pathogen Resistant
Technologies
The newest requirements in
protective clothing are for systems
that provide protection against
bloodborne pathogens (like the
HIV and Hepatitis B viruses).
As the detailed discussion in
Honeywell First Responder Products
Reference Guide suggests,
the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen
Standard seems to REQUIRE just
such protection for firefighters and
EMS workers (and the new NFPA
clothing editions meet the same
requirements). Morning Pride is
pleased to be the first firm to be
able to offer a full line of interfacecapable
and certified bloodborne
pathogen resistant (BPR) fire
The Morning Pride Tails
System is only one of our over
100 patented or patent pending
clothing products. See pages
170 and 171 for a full listing.

fighting clothing. Morning Pride is also
the first firm to offer interface-capable
and certified EMS systems. Morning
Pride BPR products interface with all
PRO-Warrington, Ranger, Servus, and
Honeywell First Responder Products
boots to provide full body protection
(including interface areas).
Lifetime Warranty
All Morning Pride products carry a
lifetime guarantee against defects in
materials or workmanship. Any such
defects will be repaired or replaced at
Morning Pride's expense at any time in
the product's life. This generous warranty
has been offered, competitively
unmatched, for over 85 years and is
possible only because of the extremely
high quality levels evidenced in all of our
products.
Additionally, we now offer a 5-Year Wear
Life Warranty on major components of
the clothing, including free repairs if
NFPA 1851 required Advanced Cleanings
and Inspections are done at
approved facilities. For further details,
including clarifications and limitations,
please see pages 13-15.
Experience & Quality
Established in 1921, Morning Pride is
not just another brand of protective
clothing, it is the BEST product manufacturable.
For instance, every individual
stitch is inspected on our garments, and

even a single skipped stitch is repaired
before shipment. Similarly, our garments
are constructed with lock stitched
optioning, outershell double layering
(rather than cheaper, dry rot prone, water
absorbing leather) reinforcements on
cuffs, pockets, etc. We avoid materials
that can embrittle and deteroate. The
Morning Pride label is your guarantee
that the product is the best it could be.
After equivalent field service lives,
Morning Pride products consistently and
dramatically outperform competitive
products (just ask any of the many
departments who’ve tried others and now
insist only on Morning Pride).
Factory Support & Service
With a team of more than a dozen
product experts in the field (most of
whom are firefighters) and an inside
marketing team of more than 20,
Honeywell First Responder Products is
here when you need us. Whether you
need a presentation at your department,
quick lab work, or help with specifications,
we are always ready to serve you.

Delivery
Raw material inventory depth allows
Morning Pride to fill most orders very
quickly. It also allows us to offer an
EXPRESS delivery option on any
custom-built protective clothing. There
are no restrictions on size, colors, special
options, etc. Any garment can be
Express ordered, making quick delivery
of custom-built clothing a Morning Pride
exclusive. Similarly, our Custom Stock
program offers 2 WEEK delivery on
customized products.
Firefighter Managed
Honeywell First Responder Products is
managed by an active member of the
fire service and a large percentage of
our staff are firefighters/EMTs/first
responders. As a result, we have a
special dedication to the total satisfaction
of our customers. We feel that this
dedication, which reflects itself in every
phase of our operation, is the reason that
we have risen to market dominance.
Firefighters have always been best at
taking care of firefighters, and we are
proud to continue that great tradition.

Morning Pride Clothing Unique Advantages
Multiple End User Contracts
Many times, personal protective equipment
is available to departments without
going to bid, no matter what the dollar
value or the quantity. Honeywell First Responder
Products and its distributors
often participate in what would be classified
as Multiple End User Contracts.
Generally, these types of contracts fall
into the following categories:
1. Statewide Contracts: In some parts of
the country, the state government will
arrange for bids for certain firefighters’
PPE items. There are contracts that
include a “Good, Better or Best” type
of product selection, or a “discount
from manufacturer’s retail,” allowing
access to entire product lines. MA,
MS, NJ, NY, OH and PA currently
have full statewide contracts, while
other states have only certain items
available.
2. Add-on Contracts: In every state we
have researched, there is a provision
in the law that allows one political
subdivision within the state, often
including state agencies, to purchase
off of any other political subdivision’s
legally awarded bids. Often our products’
bid will include a discount from
retail that allows the department that
adds-on (commonly called piggybacking)
to select the brand and model
that suits them best.
3. General Services Administration
(GSA) Municipal Use: Although
mostly a military/federal convenience,
civilian departments may also qualify
to purchase through the GSA system.
If you are interested, we will research
it for your fire department.

www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
4. Military Customers: We work with key
and/or prime vendors to maintain full
service GSA and Preferred Vendor
programs for military customers.
Contact us for more information or to
discuss how we may assist your
department in any other way.
State-of-the-art
Manufacturing Facility
Morning Pride clothing is manufactured
at our Dayton campus, which is comprised
of two buildings, one short block
from one another, in a light industrial
park sponsored by the City of Dayton
and Montgomery County. The facilities lie
within the county water supply protection
district, which allows no use or storage
of hazardous materials.
The headquarters building features our
star Morning Pride clothing manufacturing
and laboratory operations. Our
production facilities are state-of-the-art,
automated, barcode-controlled, airconditioned,
and handicapped accessible.
The second building, our global
Distribution Center, also houses helmet
manufacturing.
Morning Pride occupied the headquarters
building in 1993, and has since
expanded four times to keep pace with
growth. After major expansions in 2007
and early 2008, the Dayton campus now
operates in approximately 112,000
square feet (2.57 acres).
Morning Pride is committed to 100%
North American production. As stitching
work increasingly went overseas due to
low wage rates, Morning Pride management
recognized that only a world-class
Table of Contents
investment in technology that made our
facility more efficient could secure a stable
future for our valued workforce. An
important part of our expansion in 2000
was the installation of the largest fully
automated garment production line in
North America, and we have continued
to expand and upgrade this line as we
have grown.
Conveniently located in an ideal spot for
shipping throughout North America, our
modern facilities are situated less than
10 miles from both the Crossroads of
America (I-70 and I-75 interchange), and
Dayton International Airport,
a major cargo hub.
Dayton enjoys the nation’s largest 90minute
US air market. By air, interstate
highways, and more than a dozen motor
freight companies, our location allows us
to provide one-day delivery service to
New York City, and four days or less to
the far reaches of North America.
Offices
All corporate offices are located in our
Dayton headquarters campus, within
feet of the actual production line. All
Customer Service support to the fire
market, for all Honeywell First Responder
Products/Morning Pride products, is
conducted from our Dayton campus.
Major metro accounts are additionally
served by our New York City office in
the Fire Department of New York’s
Quartermaster facilities, and by our Los
Angeles area staff.
Inside Marketing Associates (IMAs) have
online, real time access to production
monitoring, stock inventory levels,
customer specifications, and accounting
information. They communicate with a

network of traveling Regional Marketing
Directors via a variety of cutting-edge
communication technologies. All
marketing activity and information is
coordinated through automated sales
reporting and information systems that
constantly update in real time, instantaneously
accessible to all customer
service staff.
The Cutting Room
Automated garment production begins
with cut layup. Orders are analyzed to
determine optimum mix within a cut to
maximize material utilization. Morning
Pride’s cut analysis program verifies raw
stock availability, considers delivery
requirements, then tries thousands of
different cut combinations until it determines
the absolute optimum mix with
least material waste. This best combination
of cut items is then programmed into
the cutting control server.
The cut
analysis
system is
approximately
halfway through an analysis run. The cut
mock-up on the screen reveals that even
the smallest scrap of material is salvaged
for some application.
Automated cutting tables perform cuts with
no human intervention, except to load
fabric rolls and unload precisely cut and
labeled parts, destined for specific
garments. The fabric is vacuum stabilized
from below to prevent slippage during
cutting.
Production supervisors monitor and
control garment flow from the Command
Station.
The Production Floor

problem,
without

A
fully finished coat may be returned to

After stitching and final inspection is
complete, garments move with their
barcode-controlled paperwork to the
shipping room.
The Shipping Room
The spacious shipping department is
well lighted and fully air conditioned.
Shipping is on line to the production
control system and automatically generates

information is electronically downloaded
into various carriers’ systems, such as
FedEx and UPS, and into our own
accounting invoicing system. After initial
packing, a shipping supervisor scans the
barcoded paperwork for a final check, to
ensure accurate packing.
Shipping of clothing and suspenders is
performed in an area immediately
adjacent to the clothing stitching lines.
ISO 17025-Accredited
Testing Laboratory
Both manufacturing
and
product development
are supported
by an onsite
UL Authorized
Client
Test Data
Program Laboratory.
The lab is an independent test
facility and is accredited to ISO 17025
and is also hired out routinely for
research projects. Honeywell First
Responder Products’ investment in this
state-of-the-art laboratory promotes
accelerated, and unusually refined,
product development. Shown above is
Thermal Protective Performance (TPP)
Testing.
Compliance to All
Requirements
All Morning Pride facility and labor
practices conform to federal and state
laws governing worker safety, employment
practices, Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
requirements, current and envisioned
anti-sweatshop legislation and Ohio/
federal worker’s compensation laws. The
entire facility and its workstations were

Morning Pride Clothing Unique Advantages
Advanced Protective Tracking
System Proven Superior to
Other Programs...
Most or all Honeywell
First Responder Products
in this catalog are
automatically barcoded
during manufacturing to
allow use of the Advanced Protective
Tracking (APT) program.
APT is designed to simplify the
NFPA 1851 reporting and tracking
requirements.
APT Programming is Essentially Free
to Our Customers. The APT program
is essentially a free service (please see
the price list for details) offered to
Honeywell First Responder Products
customers allowing them to effectively
track their PPE inventory (or any other
asset). Unlike competitive tracking
programs, it is not a profit center for us.
Many departments with mature tracking
systems and departments using tracking
systems from for-profit providers have
switched to APT, either for free, or for a
few hundred dollars to purchase needed
computer equipment. In other cases,
APT has filled gaps left by competitive
systems. Even more importantly, almost
every department that has compared the
various tracking systems now on the
market has STRONGLY preferred the
flexibility and firefighter friendliness of
the APT system (even ignoring the cost
advantage).
This hugely expensive program is
offered for disk out-of-pocket cost to
our customers because it highlights,
inarguably, comparative brand product
life cycles and hence comparative life
cycle cost effectivities of these brands.
The high quality levels, superior

recordkeeping allowed by the APT
program allows us to prove those
advantages. We are eager to see all
fire departments effectively track the life
cycle comparative costs of our products
versus the competition. Hence, our
decision to provide this program at
essentially no out-of-pocket cost to our
customers.
Why are departments turning to asset
management systems like APT now?
There are a number of reasons that fire
departments today are moving quickly to
asset tracking systems:
#1 NFPA 1851, 2008 edition, imposes
significant recordkeeping responsibilities
on fire departments. APT
makes NFPA 1851 compliance
foolproof and almost effortless.
In early 2001, in response to numerous
studies showing that improperly cleaned
and maintained PPE may be contributing
to firefighter injuries and illnesses, NFPA
first issued NFPA 1851 on Selection,
Care and Maintenance of Structural Fire
Fighting Protective Ensembles. It was
re-issued in June 2007 as NFPA 1851
Standard on Selection, Care and
Maintenance of Protective Ensembles
for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity
Fire Fighting, 2008 Edition. This document
requires departments to implement
standardized routine, advanced and
specialized procedures for inspections,
cleanings and repairs. All repairs,
cleanings and inspections must occur at
specified intervals (usually annually) and
those events must be recorded in some
type of tracking system (to ensure they
have indeed occurred). Specifically,
NFPA 1851 requires the following information
be recorded for all PPE elements
(individual coats, pants, gloves, hoods,
boots, and helmets):
1. Person to whom protective
element is issued (or re-issued)
2. Date of issue(s)
3. Manufacturer
4. Model name, number or design
Table of Contents
5. ID #, lot #, or serial number
6. Month and year of manufacture
7. Dates and findings of inspections
8. Dates cleaned or decontaminated
9. Reason for cleaning/
decontamination
10. Who cleaned/decontaminated
11. Dates of repair
12. Who performed the repairs
13. Description of the repairs
14.The person authorizing serviceability
15. Date of retirement
16. Date and method of disposal
While keeping this detail of information
would be prohibitively burdensome and
expensive in a manual or self administered
system, a properly designed asset
tracking system like APT makes the
process easy, convenient and reliable.
And, of course, with proper recordkeeping,
the proper care of PPE elements
occur and the challenge to firefighter
health and safety, which has been
identified in improperly cleaned or
maintained PPE, is minimized, so the
goal of NFPA 1851 is certainly a
worthwhile one.
#2 PPE is a huge investment for today’s
fire departments and must, legally,
be accounted for properly. Many
municipalities have implemented
mayoral decrees or executive orders
requiring barcoding and effective
tracking systems.
APT is extremely flexible with an easily
accessible interactive database that can
be easily used to generate any municipally
required reporting, as well as the
NFPA 1851 reporting.
#3 We live in an increasingly litigious
society. In the tragic event of an
injury, the detailed life history of the
PPE elements often become critical
information.
Again because of APT’s flexibility and
easily accessible interactive database,
the program can be custom queried to
provide almost any life cycle information
that is needed in a particular situation.

#4 With more comprehensive
information, more informed PPE
decisions can be made and justified.
To guide proper and informed department
decisions, APT allows the easy,
irrefutable and well-presented accumulation
of tremendous amounts of detailed
data on any key PPE element issue. For
instance, during the budget process,
APT could be queried to determine how
many helmets are older than 5 years of
age to approximate budget required for
replacement funding. As another example,
if the department is considering
adding a particular or different reinforcement
to some PPE element, APT could
be queried to determine repair costs in
that particular helmet area over the last
year or two (to help determine if the
change was needed or justifiable).
Why is APT better than the other
tracking programs on the market
today? We have already established
that APT is not a profit center for us.
Instead, it is offered essentially free of
charge to allow departments to isolate
for themselves the durability and life
cycle cost advantages of our product
lines.
Since APT is not a profit center for us,
there are no hidden programming keys
which departments must buy to enable
them to customize the programs for their
needs. Other leading fire service tracking
programs have been full of such
keys, which effectively means that all
new report generation or refinement
comes with hefty fees to pay for vendorsupplied
programming. APT is Microsoft
Access based and is completely open to
fire department programming (many, if
not most, departments have individuals
with Access background or can easily
arrange courses. We will also help familiarize
department personnel with easy
programming changes).
APT programming support is also
available at extremely nominal, if any,
charges. Programming support is
provided at no charge on the basic
(i.e. non-customized) APT start-up for all
our customers allowing NFPA
1851 compliance. Our
programmers can access your
equipment via our Virtual On-
Site Support through the internet
or can talk you through the
process. For more advanced
program customizations, our
programmers can help at their
lower-than-market cost, out-ofpocket
hourly fee (see our price
list for details). Even the more
advanced customization
charges are often waived when
larger ticket per item Honeywell
First Responder Products are
used by the department. In
contrast, every support service
on major competitive tracking programs
are PER FEE (and the fees are large
and add up quickly).
APT utilizes the Uniform & Textile
Service Association’s recommended
interleaved 2 of 5 barcode symbology,
while major competitive tracking
programs on the market utilize a far
more problematical 2-dimensional
barcode symbology. The 2-dimensional
barcode systems were developed
primarily for clean environments where
database memory is not immediately
available (for example, personnel
accountability programs). The interleaved
2 of 5 barcode system is
preferred by essentially all major industrial
cleaners because it offers the
following strong advantages:
• It is exceptionally readable. All APT
product barcodes are printed on high
heat material, placed on the inside of
the product and not exposed to direct
flames.
• It is functional even with heavy soiling.
This, of course, is a key advantage
for fire service protective equipment
that is often heavily soiled on the fireground.
The problem is so pressing
with the 2-dimensional barcoding,
used in major competitive systems,
the products must be rebarcoded
with every major event (for example,
cleaning, repairs, inspection,
etc.). So clean barcodes are being
constantly re-applied (with the expense
Table of Contents
A variety of customized reports are available through APT.
and hassle that implies) to assure
continued readability. In contrast, the
interleaved 2 of 5 symbology utilized
in APT is a one-time barcode application
that remains readable throughout
the life of the product.
• It can be read with the most cost
effective and durable scanners on the
market. We can assist any department
in acquiring or locating a
convenient source for such a scanner.
In contrast, the 2-dimensional
barcode systems utilized in major
competitive systems, require far
more fragile scanners that are
typically far more expensive and
far less purchase accessible.
Most industrial cleaners now use APT
as well as interleaved 2 of 5 symbology.
In contrast, the 2-dimensional barcodes
used in major competitive tracking
systems are less likely to be readable by
their systems. Industrial cleaners must
actually ignore the competitive 2-dimensional
barcodes and re-barcode (at the
expense and time implied) to interface
with their systems. All the fire service
cleaners we are currently aware of are
presently qualified and utilizing APT,
having adopted APT as the industry
standard.
APT uses a completely interactive and
flexible database that allows almost
APT Continues...

Morning Pride Clothing Unique Advantages
APT Continued...
unlimited custom tuning for reports
and queries. The program will respond
to multi-level discriminators (for example,
number of members in Battalion 46 with
helmets older than 3 years, with repair
costs exceeding some dollar figure in the
last year). This data manipulation allows
exceptionally customizable reporting
with a minimum of actual programming
time. In contrast, major competitive
programs require extensive programming,
and have used hidden keys
discussed previously, for anything
but the most basic reporting or
queries.
The Levels of APT – There are basically
four levels of usage for the APT
Barcoding system. A department can
begin at one level and eventually
progress upward to another level of APT,
since each ensuing level includes and
builds upon the previous levels:
Level #1 Tracking – Visual use of the
permanent, human-readable sizing
and serial numbering.
Level #2 Tracking – Level #1 tracking
plus APT program used on new PPE
product (that comes from factory with
APT barcode installed).
Level #3 Tracking – Level #2 tracking
plus barcode retrofit capabilities for
existing department stock (so that
existing stock can be tracked in the
same database as the new stock
arriving barcoded).
Level #4 Tracking – Level #3 tracking
plus programming to allow “hooks”
into other existing commercial asset
management programs, such as those
designed specifically for personnel
management or rolling stock.
Each of the levels of APT is discussed in
more detail in the paragraphs that
follow.
Level #1 Tracking – Visual use of the
permanent, human readable serial
numbering – The standard barcode
label will allow much easier human read
of serial numbers. It will allow auto read
7
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
and list print out with over-the-counter
barcode readers and simple barcode list
programs available through any good
office supply store. With this approach,
only the barcoded product is purchased
from us.
Level #2 Tracking – Level #1 tracking
plus APT program used on new PPE
product that comes from factory with
APT barcode installed – For departments
wishing to manage a new factory
barcoded stock of protective product, we
offer the comprehensive tracking program.
How does APT work? This program is
provided as a CD with complete documentation
on disk. Specifications are
available to allow automated import of
personnel information for the start-up
base or as new hires or transfers are
made. If you can provide this personnel
data in appropriate form, we will even
input it for you. Contact your Honeywell
First Responder Products Inside Marketing
Associate for further information or
go to our website and click on Contact
Us, then your region on the map. Once
the personnel data is auto input, the
member’s file is accessed and a barcode
reader scan of the new product
“assigns” it to him or her. The reader
scan ensures that only completely
accurate product serial numbering and
sizing is recorded in the member’s file,
as opposed to human input where errors
can and do occur. At every future event
in the product’s life (cleaning, repairs,
condemnation, etc.), the event is picked
from a screen menu and the barcode
label is scanned with a barcode reader
to automatically and accurately update
the history of that product. Unlike some
other systems, you do NOT need to
re-barcode label the product after each
event. The history is maintained on the
interactive database, not on the product
itself.
What kind of information will APT
allow me to generate? The tracking
program allows for the creation of a
completely interactive database to allow
easy management information generation.
These are the kinds of questions
Table of Contents
that APT can easily answer for you:
Which garments (and who they are
assigned to) have not been cleaned
within the last six months? This
inquiry would allow you (with a keystroke)
to isolate any garments that have
not been cleaned at least semi-annually
as required by both NFPA 1500 Fire
Department OSHA Program and NFPA
1851 on cleaning and care.
Which helmets (and who they are
assigned to) are older than 5 (or 6 or
7 or whatever) years of age? This
would allow you (again with a keystroke)
to estimate the cost of replacing
helmets of a certain age within your
department.
What is the history of a particular
boot pair (serial number, date of
issue, members assigned to it,
number/date of repairs, number/date
of cleanings, date retired, etc.)? This
type of information would be important in
the event of an injury.
What is the total inventory of product
assigned to a particular member?
This would ensure that, at retirement or
termination, all department resources
are recovered.
What are the quantity of products
condemned for wear in a given
period? This would allow you to determine
the durability and stage in wear life
of your helmets.
How are garments made in May of
2004 holding up? This type of inquiry
would be used if you note premature
wear or some other problem on a particular
garment (or a particular shipment,
or new type of material, etc.) and would
be used to both highlight problems,
suggest causes and hence fixes.
What is our total inventory of protective
products? This would allow you a
full record for insurance and inventory
purposes.
• Any of these reports can be generated
department-wide or by sub-department
units (divisions, battalions, etc.)

Main Menu: Enjoy a user-friendly interface
accompanied by powerful PPE management
tools.
Personnel Detail Screen: Easily view detailed
personnel information and the inventory issued

to show comparative performance.
• You can also quickly make lists of
products (for instance, garments being
shipped for repair or held in a loaner
pool, etc.) by simply reading their
barcodes and asking for a list printout.
• There are extensive note fields to
allow retention of unique information
in each record.
• Department-specific inventory curves
can be created based on item sizes to
assist in ordering replacement stock.
What hardware do I need to use Level
#2 APT?
• Pentium III or AMD Athlar Computer
or above – laptop recommended for
portability
• 256 MB RAM minimum, 512 MB
recommended
• 50 MB Hard Drive space for system
installation
• Up to 500 MB Hard Drive space for
data, depending on number of assets
tracked
• Windows 2000 or higher
• CD-ROM Drive
• Printer for Reports
• High speed internet connection for
Virtual On-Site Support
Level #3 Tracking – Level #2 tracking
plus barcode retrofit capabilities for
existing department stock so that
existing stock can be tracked in the
same database as the new stock
arriving barcoded.
A retrofit kit is also available to create
and apply barcode labels for existing,
older products not barcoded at the
factory. This kit includes a printer, label
printing software, labels, ribbons and
equipment needed to apply the labels.
Please call for a quote. Again, we will
only assess the out-of-pocket cost, and
departments will have the option
of buying the products direct from their
computer supply house or through us.
Technical barcode retrofit experts will be
available for telephone consultation
during normal business hours for departments
considering this approach.
An alternative approach is to return
product for factory barcode retrofit
Table of Contents
(please contact our Customer Service
Department to schedule such services).
A more expensive alternative is to request
a quote to have a Honeywell First
Responder Products team travel to your
city and barcode existing stock. Again,
we will only assess out-of-pocket costs,
but because of the high cost of traveling,
this approach is usually only cost
effective for larger departments.
Level #4 Tracking – Level #3 tracking
plus programming to allow “hooks”
into other existing commercial asset
management programs, such as
those designed specifically for personnel
management or rolling stock.
APT has been designed with “hooks”
into existing commercial asset management
programs for other fire department
assets (trucks, tools, etc.). The software
has user-defined fields to allow for such
information as condition code, last
inspection date, next inspection due
date, etc. Also available are portable
data terminals to conduct inventories of
assets at remote locations and upload
the information into the master database.
Please call for a custom quote.

The 2008 Edition
of NFPA 1851
changes the
education,
maintenance
and care
requirements
for Protective
Ensembles for
Structural and
Proximity Fire
Fighting
The 2008 edition
of NFPA 1851,
Selection, Care,
and Maintenance
of Protective
Ensembles for
Structural and
Proximity Fire
Fighting is now in
effect. Whether you were familiar with
the earlier 2001 edition care document
or not, you will need to familiarize yourself
with this 2008 edition document.
While it may initially appear to impose
significant new requirements, please
bear in mind that:
• We offer extensive support materials
and services, at no- or low-charge, to
assist our customers with complying
and understanding the document.
• Compliance to the document should
significantly improve firefighter health
and safety since effective cleaning and
care should minimize firefighter contact
with the toxins that are found at almost
every fire.

So, while a new challenge, most feel the
benefits well warrant the attention
required.
Some Key Points:
1. ALL 1851 advanced inspections,
cleanings, basic repairs and
advanced repairs training must be
provided by the element manufacturer
and/or an Independent Service
Provider (ISP) trained by the manufacturer.
We cannot train ISPs
and fire departments on other manufacturers’
PPE, and only we can train/
approve training on our PPE. Other
manufacturers or ISPs not listed on
our website as approved, are flatly
incorrect if they report themselves as
approved/capable of providing NFPA
1851 training on our products. WE
ASK YOU TO REPORT ANY SUCH
REPRESENTATIONS TO US
IMMEDIATELY. Contact your dealer
or our Customer Service Department
to set up any requested training from
us. The chart of classes that we will
be offering is shown on the next page.
This training is typically done in
Dayton, OH, but local training can be
arranged if a sufficiently large group
can be assembled. While manufacturer
provided training is free, there
may be costs charged by ISPs
trained and approved by us. End
users may find local training by an
ISP more economical even with a
charge, since travel expenses are
hence avoided. Our website will list
all approved ISPs. If an ISP is not
on our website, contact us for
guidance before utilizing their
services. Similarly, we are working
with ISPs that plan to offer interactive,
web-based instruction on these
topics. ISPs approved by Honeywell
First Responder Products can train
ONLY end users, NOT other ISPs
(without specific approval by us).
Table of Contents
2. The first training necessary for all
firefighters is a general overview
of the 2008 edition NFPA 1851
document. We teach these topics in
our 101 level of classes for each
element we manufacture. We also
offer an NFPA 1851 DVD which also
addresses these topics.
What does NFPA 1851
specifically impose?
• Routine cleaning and inspection
after every soiling/use
• Advanced cleaning and inspection
at least annually (very precise
definitions apply of what operations/testing
is required)
• Detailed record keeping
• Specialized cleaning when required
(again, very precise defintions apply
of what is required)
• Manufacturer training on all
NFPA 1851 issues or training by
an Independent Service Provider
(ISP) trained and approved by the
manufacturer
• Mandatory retirement of all 10-yearold
or older PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment which
includes coats, pants, suspenders,
helmets, gloves, hoods and boots)
See the Honeywell First Responder
Products Reference Guide for full
details on these NFPA 1851 requirements.
Here we describe the classes
and other services available to help
you meet the detailed NFPA 1851
requirements (not what the requirements
themselves are). One
important note: Unlike most NFPA
Standards which are grandfathered,
NFPA 1851 requirements apply to
ALL your Structural and Proximity
PPE regardless of age (new OR OLD
PPE products are covered).

However, we cannot be sure that
requesting a copy of this DVD means
it has been reviewed and understood.
Therefore, while the DVD will assist
you in gaining a general overview
of the 2008 edition NFPA 1851
document, its requirements and
organization, for us to officially
approve your training, you must
complete a class with us or an
approved ISP. The DVD, however,
is a great introduction to the topics
that will be covered in a 101 level
class.

3. Similarly, routine inspections and
cleanings are required to be done by
the firefighter after each use. Also,
each fire department (or “organization”
in NFPA terminology) is required
to have a clothing plan and do necessary
record keeping. We teach these
topics, and provide examples, in our

element we manufacture. The DVD,
discussed above, will also address
these topics, but we cannot be sure

PPE Cleaning & Care Facility
in Dayton – within 6-Day
Normal Turnaround Time.
We have had, and will continue to have,
a nationwide network of trained partner
ISPs. And, we have an onsite, state-ofthe-art
PPE Cleaning & Care Facility in
Dayton. This facility:
• Does inspection, cleaning, and repair
work for customers.
• Trains dealers and other firms that we
approve as Independent Service
Providers (ISPs) to the extent
they wish and require, at no charge to
them.
• Trains customers to the extent they
wish and require, at no charge to them.
This facility handles all inspections and
repairs, and excess quantity cleaning/
drying will be done at an offsite facility.
All operations are at our #1 Innovation
Court headquarters facility. The 2008 edition
of NFPA 1851 now covers required
care and maintenance for both Structural
and Proximity PPE products. We are
working with Gentex (manufacturers of
the aluminized Pbi that is used in
Proximity garment shells, gloves, and

Proximity helmet covers) to develop an
aluminized care program and will advise
the details when available. As a result,
this new Dayton facility will initially deal
with ONLY Structural PPE products certified
to NFPA 1971 (until our discussions
with Gentex clarify appropriate Proximity
cleaning procedures).
The PPE Cleaning & Care facility offers
NFPA 1851 required advanced inspections,
advanced cleanings, minor repairs
and major repairs on NFPA 1971
Protective Ensembles for Structural and
Proximity Fire Fighting (clothing, boots,
helmets, hoods and gloves).
It will also offer advanced cleaning and
repair for clothing and equipment to various
other NFPA Standards which NFPA
1851 does not cover (but we will follow
general NFPA 1851 advanced clothing
and inspection protocols as much as
possible):
• NFPA 1999 – Protective Clothing for
Emergency Medical Operations
• NFPA 1992 – Liquid Splash-Protective
Ensembles and Clothing for Hazardous
Materials Emergencies
• NFPA 1951 – Protective Ensembles for
Technical Rescue Incidents
• NFPA 1977 – Protective Clothing and
Equipment for Wildland Fire Fighting
• NFPA 1975 – Station/Work Uniforms
for Fire and Emergency Services
• Products multi-certified to any of the
Standards and/or NFPA 1971 –
Protective Ensembles for Structural
Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire
Fighting, noted above.
Specialized cleaning, where practical,
will also be quoted per event, is consistent
with how essentially all other care
providers handle these exposures and
would include the following types of

• CBRN • Paint • Asbestos
• Oil • Diesel fuel • Animal fats
• Wax • Hydraulic fluid
• Tire fire residue
• Biohazards, like blood and other body
fluids
• Any other exposure requiring MSDS

We will also be glad to quote any other
required PPE support, cleaning or repair
programs upon request.
General Notes
Products must be scheduled for cleaning
and repair. Scheduled work, not requiring
repairs, will be done and shipped
within 6 work days of receipt in our
Dayton facility. Products returned
unscheduled for cleaning and repair will
be scheduled around the work that has
been scheduled. The PPE Cleaning &
Care Facility staff will contact the return-
Table of Contents
Honeywell First Responder Products
PPE Cleaning & Care Facility
ing customer and advise that scheduled
date (customer may accept that date or
reschedule for another time – all freight
back and forth is at customer expense).
We cannot work, per OSHA regulations,
on gear that is soiled. PPE must be
cleaned before return to us, or by us (that
cleaning will be billed), before repairs can
be done.
As noted earlier, specialized cleaning
and resulting repair (per NFPA 1851,
this is required when PPE is exposed to
hazardous materials and/or biohazards)
will be available upon a special quotation
basis. Different pricing and turnaround
periods will apply. There are some
contaminants that are impossible to remove,
and no representations otherwise
are made. Customers with specialized
cleaning needs should contact the PPE
Cleaning & Care Facility staff. They will
prepare quotes for recoverable situations
and/or assist the fire department at no
charge in seeking insurance reimbursement
when cleaning/ repair is not feasible
or advisable.
All cleaning and billable repairs will not
be started without a valid Purchase

Order and credit approval. Returns to
customers can only be made freight
collect on products returned due to lack
of Purchase Order. Purchase Order
should accompany returned gear to
prevent delays in processing.
Laundering can, and will, change the
appearance of PPE (in particular, black
shells can lose “blackness” and take on a
charcoal or dark green cast). This is an
unavoidable consequence of laundering
(whoever does it) and as such is not
warrantable.
Departments who wish us to work on
non-Honeywell First Responder Products

Care staff for further discussion.
5-Year Wear Life Warranty
on NFPA 1971 Clothing and
Helmets, Free Repairs and
Loaners during that Period
5-Year Wear Life Warranty for Clothing
and Free Loaners During Free Repair.
Our new facility/program allows us to
offer the 5-Year Wear Life Warranty on
our Structural clothing. This would
include NO-CHARGE REPAIRS (or
replacement of layers at our discretion)
For Honeywell First Responder Products non-clothing NFPA 1971 Structural PPE Elements
Cleaning and inspection for NFPA 1971 helmets, hoods, boots, and gloves will also be offered, subject to the terms and conditions
noted below.
13
Product Wear Life Warranty Availability
Helmets 5 years at no extra charge if annual cleanings are done (even with only one yearly cleaning). Heat and
abrasion damage to eye protection – EZ-Flips, faceshields, goggles, etc. – are unavoidable in the hostile fire
fighting environment and as such are NOT covered under the warranty.
Hoods Hoods are a disposable item and use can vary widely, so wear life warranties are not offered, but Lifetime
Warranty against defects in material or workmanship always apply on all Honeywell First Responder Products.
Boots Boots are an item where use can vary widely and most repairs are not practical, so wear life warranties are not
offered. Lifetime Warranty against defects in material or workmanship always apply on all Honeywell First
Responder Products. Note: We will quote resoling of welted boot products upon request.
Gloves Gloves are a disposable item and use can vary widely, so wear life warranties are not offered, but Lifetime
Warranty against defects in material or workmanship always apply on all Honeywell First Responder Products.

for the first 5 years of the garment life, to
ensure 5 years of continued serviceability,
and even NO-CHARGE LOANER
GARMENTS during any required repairs.
Customers wishing to gain the 5-Year
Wear Life Clothing Warranty and free
loaner garments would be required to
have the following Cleaning and Care
Services performed each year:
1. NFPA 1851 required Advanced
Cleaning and Advanced Inspection
once a year at our Dayton
facility or at the facility of an
approved ISP 5-Year Wear Life
Warranty Partner. Services provided
will include NFPA 1851 tracking,
spot treatment as necessary,
pre-soaks as necessary, Advanced
Inspection Puddle or Hydrostatic
Water Pressure Test as required/
preferable, Advanced Inspection
Light Test or complete Liner
Inspection as required/preferable
– PLUS –
2. Additional Advanced Cleaning
(machine wash and dry without
pre-soaks, spot treatment or
Advanced Inspections) once a year
(6 months after Advanced
Cleaning and Advanced Inspection
Table of Contents
above). A cursory inspection will
also occur at this time to isolate
developing problems. This will let us
see the garment every 6 months,
and correct developing problems
before they became major, far more
expensive problems. This is the
only extra charge, above and
beyond NFPA 1851 REQUIRE-
MENTS in point 1 above, to get the
5-Year Wear Life Warranty and free
repairs, free loaners, etc.
While it is true that the new 2008 edition
document only requires once-annual
cleaning, the 2001 edition document
required semi-annual cleaning. There
are compelling reasons for customers to
consider the second annual clothing
cleaning required in point 2 above:
• to gain the 5-Year Wear Life Clothing
Warranty and NO-CHARGE REPAIRS
for 5 years
• to get two cleanings and inspections a
year, as per 2001 edition requirements.
This will isolate and encourage
fixes more frequently and will increase
safety and comfort (a year is a long
time to use a non-cleaned garment)
• to gain FREE LOANERS during
required repairs

In spite of the increased inspection/
requirements in the new 2008 edition,
our pricing is in line with most previous
2001 edition quotes from other vendors,
even with 1 additional cleaning. In fact,
your dealer can provide an Excel spreadsheet
on our 2008 edition PPE program
that shows some of our best clothing will
run you roughly $5 per week per set and
with this Care Program roughly $8.50 per
week in total (for the gear itself, repairs,
loaners, NFPA 1851 compliance, etc.).
5-Year Wear Life Warranty for Helmets
and Free Loaners During Free Repair
This new facility/program also allows us
to offer this 5-Year Wear Life Warranty
Program (with the exception of eye protection
products) on Structural helmets.
This would include NO-CHARGE
REPAIRS, or replacement of non-eye
protection products at our discretion,
for the first 5 years of the helmet life, to
ensure 5 years of continued serviceability.
Helmet repairs usually are made in 1 day
of receipt, but loaners can be arranged if
required.
To gain the 5-Year Wear Life Helmet
Warranty, it is only necessary to have
the NFPA 1851 required annual
Advanced Cleaning and Advanced
Inspection done at our PPE Cleaning &
Care Facility or at an approved ISP
5-Year Wear Life Warranty Partner.
There are NO additional cleaning
requirements for warranty coverage of
helmets, since helmet damage does not
tend to “continue” as clothing damage
can (we still do recommended semiannual
advanced cleaning and care, but
it is not a warranty condition).
Clarifications of the Clothing and
Helmet Extended 5-Year Wear Life
Warranties Discussed Above
1. The extended warranties are
dependent on continuous care, like
a car warranty. For the Extended
5-year Wear Life
Warranty to remain
in effect, the fire
department must
have the clothing
Advanced Cleaned at
the Honeywell First
Responder Products
PPE Cleaning &
Care Facility in
Dayton or at a PPE
Cleaning & Repair
ISP Warranty Partner
every 6 months, and
every other cleaning must also be
accompanied with the required
Advanced Inspection. Our PPE
Cleaning & Care Facility will advise
customers at their last ship to/bill to
address one month before a cleaning
is required; but that is only a
reminder, the responsibility for
ensuring 6-month periodic
advanced cleanings/required
inspections rest with the customer.
That is, failure to receive our postcard
does not change warranty terms
if the garments have not been
through the 6-month cleaning/
inspection cycle. For helmets, only
continuous annual cleanings are
necessary to continue warranty
coverage. If clothing is not semiannually
cleaned and helmets
annually cleaned in Dayton or at a
Warranty Partner, the extended
5-Year Wear Life Warranty is no
longer in effect.
2. This extended warranty offer applies
only to new garments, since only new
garments will have been maintained
as required from the start of their life
cycle. For older garments or new
garments that did not have the
required 6-month advance cleanings,
the warranty program is not available.
Similarly, only new helmets can be
covered, and only if the helmets have
been cleaned annually since new at
our Dayton facility or an ISP Partner.
Table of Contents
3. This is an extended WEAR warranty
on repairs, not a guarantee against
unanticipated or unusual exposures,
which would require specialized
cleaning as well as resulting repairs
which are NOT covered under this
warranty. Specialized cleaning and
resulting repair (per NFPA 1851, this
is required when PPE is exposed
to hazardous materials and/or bio
hazards) will be available upon a
special quotation basis and again is
NOT covered under this warranty.
Different pricing and turnaround
periods will apply. There are some
contaminants that are impossible to
remove, and no representations
otherwise are made. Customers with
specialized cleaning needs should
contact our PPE Cleaning & Care
Facility staff. They will prepare
quotes for recoverable situations
and/or assist the fire department at
no charge in seeking insurance
reimbursement when cleaning/repair
is not feasible or advisable.
Again, specialized cleaning and
repairs will be quoted per event as
noted above, and is NOT covered
under this warranty. This would
include the following types of
exposures (this is consistent with how
essentially all other care providers
handle these exposures):

• CBRN • Paint • Asbestos
• Oil • Diesel fuel • Animal fats
• Wax • Hydraulic fluid
• Tire fire residue
• Biohazards, like blood and other
body fluids
• Any other exposure requiring MSDS
sheet consultations
4. Covered repairs will be the most
economically feasible way to make
the PPE fit for continued service (for
instance, we will patch instead of
replace complete panels). As
another example, the decision as to
whether the number of pin hole leaks
requiring patching is sufficient to
suggest the moisture barrier must be
replaced must rest solely with our
PPE Cleaning & Care Facility staff.
5. Full moisture barrier replacements
are covered in our 5-Year Wear Life
Warranty Program when pin hole
patching is not effectively practical.
Our earlier Cleaning and Care
catalog discussion of the newly
available 5-Year Wear Life Warranty
initially excluded full moisture barrier
replacement. In combination with
support from W.L. Gore, our moisture
barrier supplier, we are now
prepared to include full moisture
barrier replacements due to wear
issues. The newly expanded program
is subject to these clarifications:
• 2-layer Crosstech ® (xxx2) or RT7100
(xxx0) moisture barriers will be
covered for the first 3 years after
their date of manufacture if
necessary (pin hole repairs are too
numerous to be effectively
practical).
• 3 -layer Crosstech ® (xxxT) moisture
barriers will be covered for the first
5 years after their date of manufacture
(pin hole repairs are too
numerous to be effectively practical).
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
• The coverage is retroactive to
2-layer moisture barrier garments
manufactured on April 1, 2005, or
later (and to all 3-layer moisture
barrier garments since none of
them are yet 5 years old).
• Warranty moisture barrier repairs
will always be done in the most
economical way possible. This
means reasonable amounts of
patching will be done before the
barrier is fully replaced. The determination
as to whether patching will
produce a practical, reliable repair
must rest solely with our PPE
Cleaning & Care Facility staff.
• Other 5-Year Wear Life Warranty
terms and conditions discussed in
the catalog still apply.
6. We are specifically not including
damage such as, but not limited to,
abrasion or melting of eye protection
products on helmets – faceshields,
EZ-Flips and goggles – as this is
characteristic of these products in the
harsh fire environment.
7. Free standard stock loaners will be
provided upon request for any
garments or helmets that require
repair that will delay them in Dayton
or at a 5-Year Wear Life Warranty
Partner ISP for more than 6 work
days, if the return was scheduled.
The customer will be responsible for
freight out and back on loaners, and
will be asked for a Purchase Order to
cover both approximate loaner value
and that freight when they request a
no-charge loaner. Customers will be
billed for any required repairs to loaners
that are not due to regular use.
That is, such as specialized cleaning
requirements after return and/or
embrittled material from high heat
exposures that is too large to allow
patching, but credited back for the
loaner garment when returned if that
return occurs within 2 weeks of
receipt back of fire department gear.
Table of Contents
8. The 5-Year Wear Life Warranty
should not be construed as a guarantee
that the garments/helmets will
always be restored to “like new”
condition. Garments and helmets will
wear and their condition will reflect
that wear. The 5-year Extended
Wear Warranty will, however, cover at
no charge repairs needed to keep the
garment in serviceable condition (as
is currently paid out of pocket by fire
departments).
9. The 5-Year Wear Life Warranty does
not cover alterations due to garment
reassignment or member weight
gain/loss.
10.The 5-Year Wear Life Warranty is not
available for gear used exclusively or
primarily for training. Contact us to
develop a specific program for any
such gear.
11. The 5-Year Wear Life Warranty runs
from the date of manufacture.
Contact our Customer Service
Department at time of first usage if
that date is far later than the
manufacturing date.
Specialized Test Equipment
Hydrostatic Water Pressure
Test Stand (Patent Pending)
Honeywell First Responder Products
ISO 17025 Accredited Testing
Laboratory has developed a test stand to
facilitate the now required after three
years of service moisture barrier
Hydrostatic Water Pressure Test.
This test stand offers these important
advantages:
• Dual pressure regulators pre-set to
balance each other to keep the testing
pressure at the correct 1 psi (+.1 psi
tolerance) during the test
• Detailed operator instruction manual
• Stand labeling to minimize common
errors
• Slim profile arm to facilitate tubular
garment area testing (arms, legs, etc.)

• Self-draining garment protection tray to
minimize garment water contact during
testing.
• The 15-second test can be used in lieu
of the less strenuous, less reliable
3-minute Puddle Test at any point in a
Morning Pride garment’s life. The
Hydrostatic Water Pressure Test is a
better test of moisture barrier condition
and is done in 1/2 the time of the
Puddle Test, and each set is tested at
a minimum of 5 spots for a total time
savings of almost 14 minutes a set
test time.
The test stand is available for purchase
or daily rent. Purchased test stands will
be calibrated and refurbished annually
for a fee that includes a loaner stand
during the rework period, if requested
(to keep ISPs and fire departments in
service during their test stand recalibration).
Loaner test stands are also
available during non-scheduled repairs at
no charge, upon request. Again, freight

Note 1: Test Stand for moisture barrier test is available from Honeywell First Responder Products PPE Cleaning & Care Facility
Note 2: Morning Pride allows and recommends that the more strenuous complete liner inspection and hydrostatic moisture
barrier Hydrostatic Water Pressure Test be done (even in first three years) instead of the less strenuous, less reliable and
more time consuming Light and Puddle Test. It is not necessary to do the Light and Puddle Test (even in the first three
years) if the liner Complete Inspection and Hydrostatic Water Pressure Test is done. Morning Pride’s Liner Inspection Ports
also make the complete liner inspection easy to do without garment disassembly and re-stitching.
Note: CBRN cleaning and care protocols are not yet available and will differ from the non-CBRN protocols discussed in this catalog.
The CBRN protocols will be developed and publicized when the CBRN products complete certification.

1. Products beginning with BPR
(Bloodborne Pathogen Resistant),
USR (formerly Urban Search and
Rescue, now Technical Rescue), or
EMS (Emergency Medical Services)
have been tested in “as actually worn”
condition (please see BPR Shower
Test photo above).
When used with other Morning Pride
BPR products (that is, any BPR glove,
any BPR boot, and any BPR helmet),
BPR garments provide head-to-toe
bloodborne pathogen resistance
protection including interface areas
(as defined by the NFPA referenced
Viral Penetration Resistance Test and
the Shower Test).
Since OSHA imposes a full body
protective intent on employers (that is,
they are as concerned if an
employee is infected at the coat-tohelmet
interface or any other interface
as if an infection occurred through
the viral barrier), Morning Pride
strongly recommends BPR products.
Morning Pride has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars and several years
developing comfortable interfacecapable
technologies (so innovative
they are now cited in numerous
patents and pending patents). Please
see the Honeywell First Responder
Products’ Reference Guide for a full
discussion of the OSHA Bloodborne
Pathogen requirements for fire
departments, EMS, etc.
2. Products beginning with LTO (Limb
and Torso Only) or TAC (Tactical
Structural) do NOT offer interface
certified protection. Morning Pride
would prefer not to offer limited area
protective products (without tested
interface capabilities), but (at the time
of catalog printing) this was the ONLY
technology which our competitors
could offer. Also, the TAC system
offers some important reversibility

advantages that may offset this disadvantage
sufficiently for firefighters
deployed in uniquely hazardous
environments.
LTO garments (again, the only product
our competitors are offering) and TAC
garments are tested with interface
areas taped to the mannequin (please
see LTO Shower Test photo above).
Since firefighters do not wear their
garments taped to their bodies, we
feel the relevance of this type of
testing is at best questionable.
We recommend departments purchasing
LTO only certified systems (ours or
our competitors) perform their own
whole body, non-taped (BPR recreative)
testing with their particular
boots, helmets and gloves to ensure
inferface capabilities. However, departments
are cautioned that products not
designed to interface will almost
certainly fail that full body testing.

Morning Pride Clothing NFPA 1971, 2007 Edition Changes – A Recap
NFPA 1971,
2007 Edition
Now in Effect...
The new edition includes a number of
changes. Honeywell First Responder
Products’ personnel are available upon
request to provide presentations in the
field and/or training materials on these
changes.
Organizational Changes
There are organizational changes in the
2007 edition. The NFPA 1976 Proximity
document is integrated into the NFPA
1971 Structural document. There are
also additional requirements for sub-contractors,
and accessories are no longer
addressed in the Standard. For full
details on these changes, please consult
the full 2007 edition discussion in
Honeywell First Responder Products
Reference Guide.
New CBRN Option Availability
A CBRN option has been added to the
Standard (for both Structural and Proximity
fire fighting protective ensembles).
This option is for delivering protection
against chemical, biological, radiological
and nuclear particulate agents that could
be released during a terrorism incident.
This CBRN option includes a series of
design, performance, and labeling
criteria to be met in addition to the base
requirements of the Standard. In order to
apply this option, the manufacturer must
provide a full ensemble of garments,
hood, gloves, footwear and SCBA. The
helmet will be excluded because it is not
integral to CBRN protection. Only full
ensembles can be certified – the certification
of individual elements is not
permitted under the option. In addition,
design restrictions exist that prohibit
outer covers, outer gloves and footwear
covers that are not a continuous part of
the ensemble.
The intent of the requirement is to have
CBRN protection in place at all times
during use. Specific criteria have been
added to evaluate the integrity of the
entire ensemble, including interface
areas, to prevent the inward leakage of
chemical agents using a Man-In-Simulant
Test (MIST). This test involves the
placement of adsorbent pads onto the
skin of individual test subjects at specific
locations. The test subjects enter a
closed chamber containing a surrogate
chemical agent and, while wearing the
protective ensemble, perform a series of
exercises simulating ensemble use for a
30-minute period. Following the exposure,
the adsorbed concentrations of the
surrogate agent are measured at each
pad location, and a determination is
made for the localized and overall
protection provided by the ensemble.
Additional tests include permeation
resistance of the ensemble barrier layers
to specific chemical warfare agents and
toxic industrial chemicals after the
material has undergone extensive
conditioning that includes laundering,
heat exposures, repeated flexing, and
abrasion at levels intended to demonstrate
long-term durability and performance
of the barrier. Even in providing this
high level of barrier performance, the
overall garment composite must still
meet the new breathability requirements
of acceptable levels of Total Heat Loss
(THL). This change will allow Morning
Pride to offer the Project HEROES ®
CBRN ensemble as a Structural and
Proximity clothing option. If you are unfamiliar
with Project HEROES ® , please
see the pages following this discussion.
It details the design differences between
BPR and CBRN rated systems similar to
our catalog discussion on the design upgrades
between LTO and BPR models.
New Design Flexibility
A number of changes to the design criteria
has been made to permit flexibility of
the ensemble design. While many of
these changes were originally intended
to address changes to foster CBRN design
innovations, the committee decided
to extend these changes to the base
Table of Contents
ensembles as well. These changes will
allow innovations such as Honeywell
First Responder Products’ integrated
boots and pants, integrated hoods,
coupled gloves and coat sleeves, to be
used in ordinary Structural and Proximity
fire fighting gear. This allows us to offer
many of the design features contained in
Project HEROES ® gear on ALL Structural
and Proximity gear, since key design
restrictions have been removed. For
instance, it will be possible to order an
integrated hood on a non-CBRN
system since some of the hood design
restrictive requirements will be removed.

A Recap Continues...
Honeywell First Responder Products 18

Morning Pride Clothing NFPA 1971, 2007 Edition Changes – A Recap
NFPA 1971, 2007 Edition Changes – A
Recap...Continued
Our 2009 catalog and companion price
list have been updated with all of the
Project HEROES ® custom options that
can be added to non-CBRN Structural or
Proximity gear, just as you can add, for
example, the BPR standard tabbed long
wristlet to LTO gear now. This should
prove very attractive to many departments
since so many of the designs that
allow effective CBRN protection also
offer STRONG routine Structural or
Proximity advantages. As an example,
consider the importance of an insulating
cooling system in either Structural or
Proximity fire fighting. Ultimately we
would like to see all fire departments
have the advantage of the full Project
HEROES ® ensemble, but the custom
option approach allows them to try the
designs one by one and build up confidence
if necessary.
Required Drag Rescue
Device
The most noticeable change to
Structural and Proximity fire fighting
garments is the addition of a Drag
Rescue Device (DRD). This feature is an
integrated system of webbing rope, or
other material into the fire fighting coat to
permit the rescue of an incapacitated
firefighter. The DRD must be designed
such that a portion of the device is
accessible from the coat interior and can
be readily grabbed by other firefighters
without interference by the firefighter’s
SCBA. The DRD must permit a firefighter
to be dragged horizontally over a specified
distance without breaking. The
materials used in the construction of the
DRD are subject to certain breaking
strength requirements. The DRD is not
permitted to be used for any vertical
operations, such as lowering a firefighter
from a building. We now offer 4 styles of
Drag Rescue Devices (see pages 151 to
156 for a discussion of these and even
more aggressive DRD systems).
IT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY TO
REQUEST (and add pricing for) THE
ARTICULATING DRAG RESCUE
DEVICE (IT IS NOW STANDARD).
19
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
Our standard
DRD is this
new leveraged
system. It is less
abrasive to the
moisture barrier
and allows leveraged
pull that
adjusts to the
downed firefighter’s
body
position.
Our old standard
was the larger
webbed Rapid
Rescue Strap
system that is
still available
upon request.
Drag Rescue Device (DRD) upgrades
such as “Positive Closure” DRD features
SHOULD be specified as the optional
upgrade they are. The price list shows
the upgrade differential on these options
(since the basic articulating DRD price
is included in the base model cost.
Individual DRD and coat retrofit pricing is
also included.
Lowered Coat Collar Height
Requirement
Structural coat collars are required to be
at least 3” high compared to the former
requirement of 4”. On new edition
garments, our standard collar is 3”, but
the 4” height option is available. When
requoting, the 4” height will be offered to
all customers who currently have a spec
on file. Proximity coat collars are still
required to be at least 4” high.
Increased Breathability
Requirement
The garment composite breathability
requirement has increased. A total heat
loss (THL) value of 205 W/m 2 is now
required compared to the former
requirement of 130 W/m 2 . This change
eliminates some current moisture
barriers and heavyweight composites,

Requirements
but affords a higher uniform level of
stress reduction C for Structural fire fighting
protective ensembles. We have eliminated
a number of composites with THL
ratings that fall below this new 205
threshold. As a general rule, these older
technology systems are both thicker and
less expensive. The mills are working on
refinements of these older systems, so
we may see new acceptable composites
become available later in the year as the
redesigns are completed. Our Customer
Service Department will assist you with
spec transition questions, but again, it is
likely that you will see many of the
changes have required spec and pricing
upgrades. The 2009 price list ONLY lists
composites that meet the increased
breathability requirements of the new
edition.
Increased CCHR
Requirements
The conductive and compressive heat
resistance (CCHR) requirements for
shoulder and knee reinforcements have
increased from a CCHR rating of 13.5 to
25. The net effect of this change means
that single outer shell reinforcements for
knees and 3-layer composites for
shoulders are no longer acceptable in
garment design. More extensive layering
is required for these reinforcement areas
(defined as 4” by 4” on the shoulders and
6” by 6” on the knees). In addition, a new
wet conditioning method is provided in
the test method. We offer a standard
minimum reinforcement in the shoulder
and knees. This is at a nominal extra
charge and is built into the new edition
pricing in our price list. This minimal
increase in insulation is standard on all
2007 edition garments but does NOT
approach the extra insulation or cover-

age area of optional Dead Air Insulation
Panels and Heat Channel Knees. The
2008 price list costs include extra layering
as needed to meet increased CCHR
requiriements at a defined 4” by 4”
shoulder area and 6” by 6” knee area.
As such, the optional insulation upgrades
(much larger area, higher insulation
than minimum required, etc.), such as
Dead Air Shoulders and Heat Channel
Knees, are shown in the 2009 price list
at the upgrade differential only (since the
basic 2007 edtion requirements for
increased CCHR is included in the base
model pricing). Honeywell First Responder
Products STRONGLY recommends
that customers exceed, in area and
insulation, the basic NFPA requirements
at shoulders and knees (through the use
of shoulder and knee options).
New UV Testing for Moisture
Barriers
The garment moisture barriers must now
be evaluated for resistance to degradation
by UV light. This test was added to
the Standard to address the degradation
of the film part of the material that was
suspected to be partly caused by
exposure to UV. While the inception of
the requirement was based on the
BreatheTex failures noted in the late
1990s and early 2000s, the requirement
does not replicate the failure mode
observed for BreatheTex and, instead,
will eliminate all moisture barriers that
are principally composed of polyurethane.
The test involves exposing an unprotected
moisture barrier film to UV light
and then subjecting the material to water
penetration resistance testing. There is
no change in our product line, since we
already have eliminated all polyurethane
barriers from our line. The 2009 price list
ONLY lists composites that meet the
moisture barrier UV requirements of the
new edition.
Change in Fluorescence
Measurements of Trim and
Allowable Gaps
The determination of trim fluorescence is
now based on color coordinates and a
measured level of brightness in contrast
to the black light visual determination that
is now part of the existing edition. Trim is
further permitted to have gaps of 1/8” as
long as the trim appears continuous from
a distance of 100 feet. We anticipate that
eventually these changes will allow the
introduction of new designs in trim packages.
We will advise as any such new
materials become available.
Coat Cuff
Trim
Lowered
on Sleeves
The lower trim
band on the
coat sleeves
must now be
within 2 inches
of the sleeve hem. This change was
made to help minimize potential burn
injuries resulting from the stored energy
in trim; by lowering the band, there is a
greater likelihood of trim overlap with the
sleeve waterwell and glove. All 2007
edition garments are provided with coat
cuff bands lowered from our former 3” up
from the cuff to 2” up from the coat cuff.
Trim Seam Gaps
The new edition allows manufacturers to
now stop the trim 1/2” before the seam
(each side for a total of 1”) at the inside
Table of Contents
pants cuff seam and at the inside of the
coat sleeve cuffs. Those raised seam
areas, combined with the “presented”
stitching on the harder surfaced trim
(than the surrounding textile), have
caused numerous stitch pulls among all
brands at those constricted areas. By
stopping the trim at those inboard areas,
garment durability is significantly
enhanced. All 2007 edition certified
garments feature the 1/2” trim seam gaps
to minimize thread pull at this constricted
area.
Seam Guard
The pointed edges of the stopped trim,
however, are another high wear issue.
Our patent pending Seam Guard (see
page 57 for more information) allows us
to avoid this additional problem while still
avoiding the high wear of the stitched
seam/ trim area. The Seam Guard is
standard, but your order can specify “no
Seam Guard” at no additional cost.
Patented
Seam
Guard –
a standard
feature on
all 2007
edition
garments
Change in Hem Trim
Placement
The bottom coat hem trim band must be
within 1” of the coat hem. We have
followed these guidelines for years
already.
Chest Trim Location More
Clearly Established
The new edition specifically places the
chest trim band as falling within 3” above
or below the bottom of the arm hole
opening (as has always been required by
UL). The clarification was added since
some manufacturers had dropped chest
bands to “belly bands,” presumably to cut
the production costs of trimming over
pockets at chest levels. We have always
complied with this requirement.

Morning Pride Clothing...the
Widest Choices in Certification
Levels, Standards
Compliance and Styling
All Lines Patented US, Canada and
Internationally. The garment models
relate to operational uses and each
operational NFPA Standard has different
requirements that must be designed into
the garment (to allow certification).
Within some of the operational models,
differing levels of bloodborne protective
performance/intended application are
offered (reflected in the garment prefix
ID) and must be designed for. Therefore,
there are some specific design differences
among prefix ID families of
garments to reflect these differing
requirements. Our huge investment and
self developed sophisticated programming
in computerized cutting technologies
have allowed us to leap decades
ahead of our competitors in terms of the
ability to cost effectively cut and produce
products tailored to the specific needs of
each operational application.
Structural and Proximity BPR and LTO
feature the traditional generous cut of
Morning Pride bunker clothing. For the
intended applications where sustained
operations in high heat are anticipated, a
generous cut is desirable for two reasons:
#1 – Compression can bring surface

Proximity NFPA 1971
Technical Rescue and Recovery NFPA 1951 USR Yes No
Also EMS NFPA 1999, Liquid-Splash HazMat NFPA 1992 and, optionally, Wildland NFPA 1977 certified

heated gear closer to the skin which can
increase heat transfer rates, a definite
undesirable in high heat applications.
Garments cut less generously can effectively
force such compression as the gear
tightens against the body with movement.
#2 – Stress remains the leading cause of
firefighter injury and death. Morning
Pride’s traditional generous bunker cut is
designed to facilitate cooling, stress
reducing ventilation at the exactly appropriate
time: when your SCBA is taken off
(i.e. when high heat and active flame are
not likely). This is accomplished
because the generous cut can “bellow”
away from the body when the SCBA is
removed. The scoop styling at the coat
hem actually channels cooling air up to
the firefighter’s body. The design
concept is so effective that we provide
sealing take up straps as a standard on
our Tails coat, for those occasional
assignments where SCBA is not worn
and cooling ventilation is not desired (i.e.
pump operations on a cold day).
Structural TAC incorporates a “liner”/
alternate outer shell that is extremely
thin, compared to the liners in the more
traditional garments. This Prefix ID family
of garments is a less generous cut than
the Structural and Proximity garments
(or it would fold, adding unnecessary
bulk and mass). The thinner profile,
allowed by the thinner “liner” and other

design features, allows complete
garment inversion to make parachute
drops and covert advances more
practical for military firefighters deployed
in combat or potential combat environments.
As shown on pages 26 to 28, the
Structural TAC garments also feature all
three layers sewn together for rapid inversion
with layering intact (standard
Tail and pants fly inspection port).
Technical Rescue and Recovery and
EMS also feature the slimmer profiling of
the Structural TAC garments, since they
are only two layer systems as a standard
(winter liners are available – see page
94). Both the Technical Rescue and
Recovery and EMS applications require
slim profiling for frequent confined space
operations. Technical Rescue and
Recovery and EMS garments, like the
Structural TAC garments, also feature a
sewn-in moisture barrier with a full tail
and pant fly inspection port, but for a
different reason. The NFPA 1999 EMS
Standard (which both the Technical
Rescue and Recovery and EMS
garments meet) has a rigorous 25 wash
pre-conditioning test requirement. The
moisture barrier must be sewn-in to
prevent pre-conditioning damage during
washing (from shell abrasion).
Wildland and Technical Rescue and
Recovery are single layer systems without
moisture barriers or thermal liners.
As such, they are the slimmest profile
styling of all our clothing systems.
In addition to the above differences,
there are some variations:

Overview of Chemical/Biological Hazards
In reality, nearly all structural fires are
hazardous materials incidents, potentially
exposing fire fighters to hundreds of different
chemicals and combustion byproducts.
While structural fire fighting
ensembles limit contact with liquids and
SCBA provide inhalation protection, these
ensembles freely allow the penetration of
most vapors and skin exposure. Perhaps
a consequence, fire fighters experience
higher levels of cancer and other chronic
health conditions compared with most
occupations. These hazards combined
with the need for the fire service to be
prepared for terrorism incidents involving
the use of chemical and biological agents
mandate the use of ensembles with
higher levels of barrier protection without
compromising their use for everyday
emergency response.
The potential for chemical and other
hazardous substance releases, either
accidental or deliberate, remains a threat
to the United States. Recent accidents
and modeling of deliberate releases
demonstrate that such releases produce
both short-and long-term adverse consequences
for the health of affected exposed
individuals, quality of the national
environment, and local, regional and
national economic performance. Every
year, major accidental releases of
hazardous materials in the United States
and around the world inflict fatalities and
injuries, property damage, and environmental
pollution. The estimated average
cost of these releases in the United
Table of Contents
States alone runs $5 Billion annually.
Moreover, there is broad consensus
across the intelligence community that
toxic industrial chemicals, toxic industrial
materials, and chemical agents continue
to be of interest to terrorist groups for both
domestic and international attacks. The
incident threat spectrum for weapons of
mass destruction (WMD) developed by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
based on actual cases and intelligence,
ranks terrorist releases of industrial
chemicals highest on their list behind only
biological toxins. Such releases of toxic
industrial chemicals may occur through
direct dispersals or sabotage of existing
facilities. Potentially, other more lethal
substances could be used in attacks on
the U.S. population such as the people of
Tokyo suffered in the Sarin attack on their
subway system.
Project Inception – The International
Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), as
part of their Project HEROES ® (Homeland
Emergency Response Operational
and Equipment Systems) initiative, received
a federal government contract
from the Technical Support Working
Group (TSWG) with initial funding from
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), and subsequent funding from the
Department of Defense (DoD), the Defense
Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)
and the Joint Science and Technology
Office (JSTO). The project involved:
• Rapid development, testing, and
prototyping of structural fire fighting
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
with enhanced chemical, biological,
radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)
protective qualities to account for
emerging emergency and terrorist
threats.
• The creation of a certified protective
ensemble that is as indistinguishable
as possible from current structural fire
fighting gear but still offers improved
CBRN and overall hazardous
substance protection together with
enhanced thermal protection without
sacrificing wearer comfort and
functionality during routine structural
fire fighting.

The IAFF Project Team – The following
organizations took part as part of this
development effort:
• International Association of Fire
Fighters (IAFF)
• International Association of Fire Chiefs
(IAFC)
• Honeywell First Responder Products
(formerly Total Fire Group)
Morning Pride Manufacturing)
• International Personnel Protection, Inc.
CBRN Protection Requirements –A
CBRN option was added to the new 2007
edition of NFPA 1971, Standard on
Protective Ensemble for Structural and
Proximity Fire Fighting. This option
establishes rigorous criteria to ensure
that CBRN ensembles will meet the high
demands for providing extensive chemical,
biological agent, and radiological
particulate protection over their intended
service life. Requirements include:
• Ensemble composite materials must
demonstrate resistance to permeation
by chemical warfare agents and
selected toxic industrial chemicals
after the materials have been subjected
to multiple washings and heat exposures,
repeated flexing and severe
abrasion.
• The overall ensemble (coat, pants,
hood, gloves, and footwear together
with a self-contained breathing apparatus)
must prevent inward leakage of
CBRN agents when tested using
human subjects exercising in a closed
chamber containing surrogate chemical
warfare agent vapors (Man-in-
Simulant Testing). The overall
ensemble is also tested for liquid
integrity in a “shower” test after
multiple launderings.
• All ensemble elements must meet
all other criteria applicable to that
element. For example, garment composites
must still meet the same total
heat loss requirement for breathable
performance to reduce the stress
impact for wearing the ensemble.
• Manufacturers must specify complete
ensembles, including SCBA.
Chemical Warfare Agents
Soman (GD) – Nerve Agent
Distilled Mustard (HD) – Blister Agent
Toxic Industrial Chemicals
Acrolein (Liquid) Acrylonitrile
Ammonia (Gas) (Liquid)
Chlorine (Gas)
Dimethyl Sulfate (Liquid)
Ensemble Materials – Because of the
strict requirements for testing, the team
evaluated a large number of composite
materials including a variety of outer
shell, moisture barrier (CBRN barrier
layer), and thermal barrier materials and
selected the optimum composite to provide
the overall superior performance.
This initial Project HEROES ® material
system consists of the following:
• The traditional moisture barrier is
replaced by a CBRN barrier layer in
garments, the hood, and the footwear
bootie. This layer is the GORE
CHEMPAK® selectively permeable
membrane, a robust material from
W. L. Gore & Associates. This material
has demonstrated permeation resistance
against key chemical warfare
agents and toxic industrial chemicals,
while also achieving the NFPA 1971
THL requirements in combination with
the selected outer shell and thermal
barrier.
• The industry proven Kombat 750 with
Super Shelltite finish from Southern
Mills is used as the selected outer
shell, exhibiting a combination of
outstanding durability, high strength
and liquid repellency.
• The Southern Mills Quantum One-layer
thermal barrier provides a balance of
Table of Contents

sufficient insulation and moisture
management characteristics.
• Gloves use a different version of the
GORE CHEMPAK® product
technology for the CBRN barrier.
Ensemble Design – The team has
created a unique entire ensemble design
with modifications to the coat, pants,
hood, gloves, and footwear to ensure
complete body protection when worn
with a CBRN SCBA:
• Key interface components have been
developed that function to provide
passive CBRN protection when needed
(the fire fighter does not have to do
anything special to activate this
protection).
• The overall ensemble exhibits average
protection factors of greater than 500
and compliance for individual body areas
all well above the minimum requirements
of NFPA 1971.
• New features actually enhance structural
fire fighting protection by providing
additional insulation and preventing
penetration of scalding liquids.
• Practical performance testing at
several large metropolitan fire
departments demonstrated end user
acceptance of the overall ensemble
design and served to identify further
improvements through the evolution of
the ensemble design.
• Thermal protection requirements have
been validated in live fire training
where all participating fire fighters
preferred Project HEROES ensemble
over their current ensemble.

Clothing is available in BPR and LTO
styling:
How Do Structural BPR &
LTO Garments Differ?
1. In chinstrap design...BPR garments
feature a 12” long folding chinstrap
with a comfort chinstrap insert of soft
knit Nomex ® .
2. BPR garments feature, as standard,
our patented Tabbed Long Wristlet

page 161). This is not mandatory and
may be replaced with another model
wristlet (if noted on order) without
loss of interface capabilities. Morning
Pride includes the Tabbed Long
Wristlet as BPR standard because we
feel it helps ensure adequate coat
cuff to glove overlap in all body
positions.
3. Both BPR and LTO garments feature,
as standard, liner inspection ports
(please see discussion and photos of
the liner inspection system on page
52). This is not mandatory and may
be deleted (if noted on order) without
loss of interface capabilities. Morning
Pride included the inspection port as
standard to allow inspection of the
bloodborne pathogen shielding
moisture barrier substrate easily and
effectively.
How Do Structural TAC
Garments Differ from BPR or
LTO Structural Garments?
1. The biggest difference is that these
TAC garments are designed to be
completely reversible. They were
designed in response to the requests
of military firefighters who wished to
be able to deploy in fully NFPA 1971
certified Structural gear. This NFPA
Standard requires appropriate reflective
trim packages, which can be an
obvious problem when operating in
a hostile environment (or when parachuting
into one). The TAC design
allows those firefighters to choose
between the all black outer shell
without trim or the trimmed outer
shell, when the situation becomes
more controlled.
2. These TAC garments may also appeal
to SWAT teams, covert rescue teams,
etc. who need Structural fire fighting
PPE protection but occasionally
require stealth, as well.

3. These garments may also appeal to
fire departments with normal
operational parameters because the
TAC series garments are exceptionally
thin and easy to move in,
extremely insulative, and extremely
breathable (please see price list for
TPP and THL exact numbers for
each primary outer shell available).
However, for those departments, we
suggest you consider ordering this
xxNx 9.5 oz. Nomex ® liner in our
BPR or LTO garments, so that you
are not paying for reversibility styling
that you do not require.
4. It is important to remember that
when the reflective trim is not
exposed, NFPA 1971 certification
does not apply.
5. Initially we are only offering the
9.5 oz. Black Nomex ® xxNx “thermal
liner/reversible outer shell.”
6. It is recommended that Black be
chosen for the outer shell with
reflective trim, as well, if you plan to
reverse the coat. If that is not done,
when reversed, the collar, tail, and
cuff ends of a different color will
“flash” with movement. It is possible
to match just those body pieces to
the interior “outer shell” Black, but
then the garment when not worn
reversed looks unusual, to say the
least. If a different color outer shell
than Black is desired, please
contact your regional Marketing
team in Dayton.

coat, releasable straps to secure the
tail can be specified.
8. The TAC garments feature slightly
slimmer styling than BPR or LTO
gear.
Therefore the
extra coverage
provided by the
chinstrap in
BPR/LTO gear
has been
incorporated
into a shield
extension.
9. The reversibility requirement means
a separate chinstrap will not be
functional.
10. The reversibility requirement means
the closure system must be
functional in both orientations.
Therefore the
zipper is dual
tabbed and
there are two
mini sewn flaps
on each side.
The only
closure available
in the TAC
series gear is
Velcro ® and
zipper closure,
for this reason.
11. As noted on page 21, it is not
currently possible to certify TAC
model garments for BPR
interface capabilities (as worn).
Some of the design modifications
that allow reversibility make this
Table of Contents
necessary (we will continue to
investigate this issue, however, and
will let you know of any new
developments). For instance, the
inner and outer shell are sewn
together with a standalone knit cuff
at the coat sleeve end.
Photo shows the
sleeve ending
standalone knit
wristlet, which
can swivel for
functionality
whichever layer is
being used as the
outermost shell.
As shown, the standard TAC wristlet is
Black (unlike the wristlets in our other
families of garments which are Creamy
Natural in color).
12. Tail area opens via Velcro ® (our
Liner Inspection Port) to allow
monitoring of moisture barrier. If
non-tailed styling is requested, an
opening of the same size will
be provided.
13. So that suspender buttons do not
rub when the system is reversed,
tabs for snap attachment
suspenders are standard.
Suspender Buttons
14. Replaceable pockets (that can be
moved from side to side) can also
be custom engineered.
15. Winter Liners are not available as
this would complicate reversibility.
16. Positive Closure DRDs are not
available due to the coat’s narrow
closure.

What is the Berry Amendment, and
how is it different from made in North
America?
The Berry Amendment covers military purchases and requires
that ALL textiles and specialized metals used in the product be
American made. While the requirements are clear, the interpretations
of the regulations vary from purchasing authority to purchasing
authority since clear regulations have yet to be determined. For
instance, all Total Fire Group products are made in our OH, AL, IL
and PA factories, but approved steel toes for our fire boots are no
longer made in the US. For that reason, some military purchasers
would not consider those boots Berry compliant. To address military
needs, we have stockpiled a decade’s worth of US made steel toes
(to allow us time to develop our own US made steel toes).
You may rest assured (that with the exception of some American
Firewear products that there were contractual commitments on
(when American Firewear joined Total Fire Group), and are clearly
labeled as “imported” in the American Firewear catalog; all
Honeywell First Responder Products are North American made.
If you also require Berry Amendment clarifications/certifications;
contact our military sales desk and we will email you a complete file
of all products. We offer a huge variety of Berry certified products in
all categories.
The importance of “Made in North
America”?
First responders depend on their PPE for their safety, even for their
lives. You NEED a manufacturer whose assets are accessible to
you, so you have leverage to encourage only the highest of continuing
quality levels. An importer often has a telephone, with assets
protected by borders. In the event of a product problem, they have
literally nothing at risk (except the telephone). We feel this means
an importer can be tempted to cut corners, certainly some of the
imported products we have dissected have showed some shocking
issues (polyester linings, mixed materials, etc.). Remember, certification
means that the products the certifying lab looked at were
judged compliant... but we have all seen the news recently about
shocking substitutions made by foreign firms over time (lead in toys,
etc.). If you are considering an imported product, talk to our lab personnel
to see if they have done any testing on the product. We are
always glad to allow you to witness any re-testing you want at our
ISO 17025 lab. This is not the first attempt of foreign firms to enter
the emergency services. Traditionally first responders have resisted
their entry for the reasons noted above, and we are confident this
wave of foreign products will also be gone soon.

Five Operational Models of Protective Clothing
Proximity Clothing
NFPA 1971 Certified Proximity Clothing
2 CBRN Certification Levels
2 BPR Certification Levels
2 Model Number Prefix IDs
• NFPA 1971, 2007 Edition Certified
Note: On Jan. 12, 1989, Fed-OSHA issued an opinion letter that
“firefighters in refineries and petrochemical plants should wear protective
clothing as specified in NFPA 1976” (i.e. not structural clothing – at that
time NFPA 1976 governed Proximity fire fighting PPE. However, NFPA
1500 allows the incident commander in any tactical scenario some latitude.
Prefix ID Level of BPR Certification
PRH and Tested as worn, to include interface area
BPR performance evaluation
LTO Tested as our competitors do, with plastic bags taped over
interface areas
• Exterior hooks and dees with continuous interior hook and pile
closure are standard (please see page 115 to 117 for alternate
closure options).
• Styling is identical to PRH, BPR and LTO Structural Clothing
• SCBA Covers are also available, please see page 166 for further
details.
• The 2007 edition of NFPA 1971 requires bloodborne pathogen
resistance testing for Proximity Fire Fighting Protective Garment
Elements.
• The more narrow width of aluminized materials (required to meet
higher NFPA 1971 radiant reflective requirements) may mean your
Proximity garment will have a few more seams than a Structural
garment of the same size.
• NFPA 1971 design requirements for Proximity clothing follow those
for Structural clothing EXCEPT as relates to a requirement that, in
effect, imposes the need for an aluminized outer shell (radiant heat
reflective test of outer shell), and minimum collar height.
• NFPA 1971 prohibits non-reflective materials including, but not
limited to, trim lettering patches, name or number stencils, emblems,
paints or other marking mediums may be affixed to the Proximity
outer shell. The only exception is cuff reinforcements, and that is
limited to 1” over the reflective surface. Our standard is 7.5 oz. Pbi bronze cuffs (coats and pants).
• NFPA 1971 requires the collar lining to be non-aluminized material
(7.5 oz. Pbi will be Morning Pride standard) for comfort reasons.

Aluminized Products:
• Cleaning and Care Instructions
• 12-Month Cloth Warranty
Limitations
All manufacturers in the fire service use
the Gentex #1098 aluminized knit
Pbi /Para Arimid material for Proximity
certified products (helmet shrouds,
clothing, gloves, etc). Gentex is the
only supplier of certified product in the
market, and hence this information
applies to ALL brands. We have seen
frequent delamination of these products
(ours and other brands). While we have
seen this in both washed and unwashed
products, Gentex feels cleaning is the
issue and has provided us with the
following cleaning instructions.
The outer shell of this garment
contains a highly reflective surface
and it is extremely important to keep
this surface clean so that it may
perform at peak efficiency.
• Clean by gently rubbing the surface
with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild
soap
• Rinse thoroughly
• DO NOT MACHINE WASH
• Dry garment by hanging in a well
ventilated, shaded area
• Use a fan to circulate the air if
necessary
• Do not store garment wet or with any
chemical contamination
• Do not clean with any compounds
containing ammonia, chlorine, other
oxidizing or abrasive agents.
Note: These newer Cleaning Instructions
supersede the FEMSA User
Guide instructions. The NFPA 1851 care
document also requires hanging storage
of Aluminized coats and pants (not
folded).
Further, Gentex has advised that they
normally limit their warranty to 12
months (even if all Gentex instructions
are followed) and cover material replacement
ONLY – all other costs must be
borne by the customer! Morning Pride
will continue to warrant against defects in
material or workmanship for the life of the
product. But we cannot be responsible
for what Gentex is classifying as normal
for the #1098 material (i.e. delamination if
not washed, dried, and stored as above
and a limited warranty period of 12
months on material replacement only,
regardless of care).

• Windbreaker weight and ease of
movement with SERIOUS protection
for essentially all non-fire runs.
• The effective use of this tri-certified
gear will do much to reduce the stress
load on the modern firefighter (excluding
the WTC tragedy, stress kills more
firefighters annually than all other
factors COMBINED).
• The body stores stress. In contemporary
North America, over 70% of fire
service runs are non fire calls (EMS,
rescues, extrications, confined space
work, hazardous spills, etc). Yet,
firefighters respond in their necessarily
heavy bulky bunker gear which causes
unnecessary stress that is banked in
the body, to be built upon when the
next fire run occurs and the heavier,
more insulative gear NEEDS to be
worn.
• This multi-certified Technical Rescue
and Recovery product is the perfect
alternative for ALL these non fire runs.
It is lighter, more mobile and multipurpose.
It actually offers better
protection in key ways for these non
fire runs, for instance more severe
bloodborne pathogen testing preconditioning.
It is also far more breathable
than bunker gear for stress
reduction and saves wear on the more
expensive bunker gear.
• Technical Rescue and Recovery
garments feature Tabbed Long
Wristlets (Patented) and Sealing
Stirrups (Patent Pending) to seal the
moisture barrier against the leg and
arm and prevent debris movement up
the leg/arm.
• Combined with a state-of-the-art
bunker clothing package for fire runs
ONLY, this gear offers the modern
firefighter the RIGHT gear for each
functional area (fire and non fire).
• Operational requirements preclude the
use of suspender buttons, so rig
friendly suspender snap button
configuration is standard.
• Similarly, non-sparking Velcro ® tabs
and high temperature nylon take-up
straps are utilized, rather than the
metal products utilized in other prefix
ID families of garments.
• This gear is unbelievably light and
flexible.
What is one competitor’s
“Convertible” Gear?
The new NFPA 1951 Technical Rescue
edition allows for three levels of garments
and gloves, where previously there was
only one (boots and helmets remain one
level products within the document).
The three levels are:
1. CBRN certifiable garment and gloves
– This product includes some of the
Project HEROES ® Structural CBRN
design features.
2. Technical Rescue and Recovery
garments and gloves – This is
basically the only garment product
discussed in the previous edition of
NFPA 1951. It includes a non-CBRN
moisture barrier and is basically our
USR series of garments and USR
certified gloves.
3. Technical Rescue Utility garments and
gloves – These products are basically
the Technical Rescue and Recovery
garments and gloves without moisture
barriers. With clothing, it is
possible to snap out, or otherwise
remove, the moisture barrier and turn
a Technical Rescue and Recovery
garment (#2 above) into a utility
garment. Our product line includes
this option as well and this is what one
competitor is referring to as
“Convertible” gear.

Wildland Clothing is Available in Many Forms:
1 – The Wildland Dual Certification Option
for NFPA 1971 Certified Structural Fire
Fighting Gear
When this option is specified on Structural NFPA 1971 Protective
Clothing for Structural Fire Fighting, the liner and moisture
barrier can be removed from the outer shell and the outer shell
alone is certified to the NFPA 1977 Wildland PPE requirements.
For an upcharge, far less than the price of Wildland gear alone,
one garment can serve both functions. This is particularly
convenient when responding to calls that are indeterminate in
nature or change during deployment. Every firefighter on the
scene has Structural turnout gear that is also the perfect sized
Wildland gear with
reflective trim, rank and
FD markings, etc., and
which can be quickly
re-configured back into
Structural gear on the
scene for the next call (or if
conditions change).

Drag Rescue Devices
(DRDs)
Now Available
(Patent Pending)
• Positive Closure DRD systems not
available.
• Detachable liner is required.
• There are extra charges for other than
standard Looped Hand Hold system.
For Both Technical Rescue
and Recovery, and EMS
Models
• Both models also feature two layer
(Shell/Liner) common sense design.
This allows the shell to take the
punishment of daily use but protects
the pathogen/moisture barrier unlike
single layer tri-laminate designs. Tears
in our shell do not compromise
integrity of bloodborne protection
and can be repaired locally. The two
layer system has been widely preferred
in the field and allows onsite customization
(patches, rank upgrades,
etc.).
• Both models feature a zipper and hook
and loop closure to allow tailored,
integrated collar design.
• Both models feature a liner inspection
port opening at the Tail and a means
of liner inspection at the pants fly
(and a sewn-in moisture barrier).
• Both garments are a standard two
layer product – outer shell and
moisture barrier (no thermal liner).
Fleece vested liners are available but
can only be attached via a zipper.
Non-zipper alternative attachment
methods can abuse the moisture
barrier during the grueling, EMS
NFPA 1999 25 cycle wash preconditioning
(both models meet the
EMS standard). Many first responders
will utilize sweaters, heavy slacks,
thermal underwear, etc., rather than
winter liners, so we did not standardize
the expense of a half zipper for winter
liner attachment on these two models.
If you want a winter liner in the future
but are not ordering one when you
order your new garment, we strongly
suggest you order a zipper winter liner
adaption strip in
your new garment
(to allow easy zip in
of a potential future
liner, as it is VERY
expensive to add a
zipper later after
the coat is made).
If you order a winter
liner when ordering
the new garment,
the zipper to
accommodate the
winter liner’s
use will of course
be provided (and
is included in the
winter liner in a new coat pricing).
Please see page 94 for further winter
liner details.
• Removable Moisture Barrier Option
now available: Outer shell only
products can be worn as a standalone,
but meets no NFPA standard
unless you specify Wildland certification
option for Technical Rescue and
Recovery garments only (not EMS).
We recommend that shells alone be
worn for non-tactical purposes only.
We also remind customers that our
Structural gear can be custom
optioned to be Wildland certified.
Technical Rescue and Recovery/EMS
gear fully configured must provide
450 W/m 2 of breathability, while
Structural gear must only provide
Table of Contents
Technical Rescue and Recovery garments with removable
moisture barriers will meet NFPA 1977 Wildland requirements
if Wildland quad certification is ordered (but NOT if only Removable
Moisture Barrier custom option is ordered).
130 W/m 2 of breathability. It may
make more sense to rely on dual
certified Structural gear for Wildland,
since Wildland calls may be falsely
reported when structures are involved.
The dual certified Wildland/Structural
garments would be configurable
perfectly in such scenarios, while
Technical Rescue and Recovery/EMS
dual certified to Wildland would not
offer the ability to convert to Structural
protection levels. When the Technical
Rescue and Recovery/EMS
Removable Moisture Barrier custom
option is ordered, the hook and loop
moisture barrier to shell attachment is
used (as opposed to the standard
sewn-in moisture barrier).

Morning Pride Clothing
Tails and Traditional Styling Compared
Tails Styling Explained – Tails are
an anti-stress clothing system concept
that is based on the structure of the
human backbone that guarantees 95%
of all mid-body flex occurs to the front
(causing REAR body extension ONLY).
Since it is body extension that can cause
a protective gap between coats and
pants in certain body positions, this
implies coats can be worn much shorter
in front than in the rear (i.e. we can't
bend backwards to the degree we can
bend forward so we don't extend in the
front to the degree we extend in the
back). Shortening the non-functional,
same length, coat front reduces garment
weight between 18%-25%, improves
ventilation, allows unrestricted upper leg
mobility, and hence fights firefighter stress.
43
Tails Coats Are Worn
With Traditionally Styled
(Non-Bibbed) Pants
Tails shortened front
reduces garment weight 18%
to 25%, frees the upper legs
for unhampered ladder
climbing/crawling and

Because of the short length of a Tails
coat pockets must be ordered as a
custom option. It is recommended that
pants be ordered or retrofitted with bellows
pockets. Moving pockets to the

the firefighter more stable during movement,

overburdened with the weight of an air
pack and allows unrestricted access to
pockets even when breathing apparatus
is donned (coat pockets are sealed by

Tails coats are provided with two

straps are intended for those fairly rare
occasions when thermal sealing is
required but breathing apparatus will not

Please Review Carefully
Tails
Traditional Styling Explained –
Traditional design concept relies on
coat length (or pants overlap) to assure
protection. Photo above illustrates a 35”
length traditionally styled coat. This
length (35”) hits the average firefighter
mid-thigh; as such, it is only ordered
when bunker pants are worn on ALL
responses. The standard traditional
styled length (40”) hits a firefighter of
average height immediately at the knee.
While some firefighters in the past have
relied on a long bunker coat (approxi-

the turnout coat is designed to protect
basically the upper part of the human
body (except head & hands). As manufacturers
of protective clothing, we agree
strongly with NFPA 1500 and NFPA 1971
requiring bunker pants “be provided” and
their “use required” on ALL structural fire
calls.
Since use of 40” coats (without bunker
pants) offers no lower torso protection
and is now prohibited by NFPA
Standards, and since the full length front

cooling ventilation. As stress is already
the leading cause of firefighter death,
we feel it would be irresponsible to
continue to offer the short coat/bibbed

Our position on the stressful nature of
the bibs has been confirmed by other
independent field tests such as that
conducted by Project FIRES. The
mobility and lightness of short coats is
duplicated with the Tails System but

Our research indicates that modifying
the bib (i.e. shortening it to high waisted
pants, rear bib only, etc.) does NOT
resolve the stress problem as the
biggest part of the trunk (including the
high blood flow, high heat exchange
kidneys) remains wrapped. This means
recent competitive attempts to move
the Tails from its patent protected coat
position to the pants is design nonfunctional
(still stressfully wraps the
kidneys).

Tails System of Patents
The Kinetic Kut Coat/Tails Patent

The other differences between the
operational models/prefix ID families of
garments are less significant between
each other but extremely significant as
compared to competitive product lines
often designed and constructed to cut
manufacturing costs and/or make manufacturing
easy. In the next few pages, we
discuss our Clothing Design Advantages
and Clothing Constructioning Advantages.
Many times, the separate operational
models offer the same advantages
over competitive operation model offerings
(i.e. Better Span of Reach, Less
Coat Rise with Overhead Reach, etc.)
but with slightly differing constructioning.
When that is the case, we will just show
one operational model example to avoid
repetitive redundancy. When there is a
variance in advantages noted between
the prefix ID families, we will try to note
the difference.
In comparative field tests, Morning Pride
is CONSISTENTLY preferred and departments

Design Advantages
above. Part of the answer lies in our
unique, patented design features and
part of the answer lies in our uncompromising
quality/construction standards.
A big part of the answer also lies in our
KINETIC COAT (Patented) and FULL
RANGE OF MOTION (Patented) PANTS
patterning.
Working with an internationally known
patterning expert, Mr. Karl Senser, we
have translated our research in human
stress dynamics, principles of ergonomics
and firefighter vocational movement
patterns into the most comfortable, least
stressful protective clothing products in
the market.
Our anti-stress patterning philosophy
permeates every aspect of garment
design. It is impossible to illustrate all the
areas of improvement. However, a few
test examples of obvious innovative
differences follow. We think you’ll agree
the magnitude and variety of Morning
Pride advantages are almost startling.
We have tried to concentrate our discussion
on tests you can recreate in the
field, on tests that require little or no
interpretation and on tests that address
the really important issues of protection
and freedom of motion. When you really
compare the brands it becomes
understandable why:
A. Morning Pride almost always wins
head on competitive field tests (we’re
simultaneously lighter and offer
greater range of motion).
B. Morning Pride can sometimes be
underbid on open specifications (we
take absolutely no shortcuts with
your comfort and protection – there
are a lot of cheaper, but not better
value ways to make protective
clothing).
All Morning Pride garments are
designed for maximum functionality,
protection, comfort and durability. If
there is a shortcut, even a non-detectable
shortcut that compromises any
of those goals: WE WILL NOT TAKE IT.
In the next few pages, we will show you
Table of Contents
specific examples of such shortcuts that
Morning Pride customers never have to
worry about. Our brand has become
synonymous with the very best in all
these areas; we cannot risk our reputation
(and will not even if that means we
lose the sale at hand). Ultimately, first
responders always recognize and specify
the supplier who never compromises on
their comfort or protection, so we have
learned that any such losses are short
lived.
Field Test Losses
are Rare!
Fact is, we just don’t lose field tests
very often. So, when a city advised
us that we had finished last in a field
test, we thanked them and asked
for our products back. We politely
explained that examining gear
returned from the field helps us
design better products.
Well guess what? The “field tested”
gear was essentially pristine. It had
not seen the field in any appreciable
way. We politely pointed this issue
out to the Department. We
explained how we respected their
rights to pick any gear they wanted,
but explained that we would have
serious issues with any representation
that “we lost a field test.”
Something is usually wrong if we do
not win a field test, and therefore it
pays to investigate. We’re so
confident in the superiority of our
products, we urge you to take our
Field Test Challenge...ANYWHERE,
ANYTIME! Make us PROVE our
products’ superiority! For more

Morning Pride Tails
System
Patents Will Extend for
Many More Years
In a major metro fire department, after
our multiple field test wins and the
department’s decision to convert to our
brand spec, one of our competitors
apparently made the assertion that our
Tails System patents have expired.
Any competitive representations that our
Tails System technology patents have
or are about to expire are incomplete and
erroneous.
Our first Tails System patents related
to a variegated length hem on a garment.
That product was not field accepted and
the product did not become a market
success until we engineered numerous
other patents that minimized coat rise,
wrist retractive pull and pants waist
movement.

4,627,112 –
This family of

patents are
the only
patents that
have expired
(5/13/05).
Patents that are Still in Force
The following patents, in conjunction with
the variegated length hem design, make
up the Morning Pride Tails System.
These later patents make the minimized
overlap of the variegated length hem coat
practical and many of them are in effect
for another 10+ years...precluding
competitors from delivering “same as
Morning Pride” functionality. These
patents minimize coat rise, minimize
pants “pull” at waist with motion, reduce
insulative bulk “pull,” minimize sleeve
retractive “pull,” reduce chinstrap “rise”
and help ensure interface continuity.
Most of these are standard features on
all Morning Pride garments.
1. Minimized Rise with Maximum
Reach Kinetic Kut Coat Styling:
Patent #5,165,110 – Minimizes coat
“rise” and “pull” through extending
and folding pattern pieces

Effective Life Cycle Cost
Issues
The Morning Pride Tails System does
consume more material, so acquisition
costs may be slightly more. Variegated
length coats is all our competitors can
make, they can NOT make a tailed
system for 10+ years.
BUT...and this is a big BUT, our Tails
System of patents also means that the
firefighter does not continually pull on
his/her clothing. Therefore, strain is
reduced on their clothing and the overall
life is extended, thus reducing the
garment’s effective life cycle cost.
A $50 pair of pants that will only last a
year is more expensive than a $100 pair
of pants that will last 3 years:
Cost Life Cycle Cost per Year
$50 1 year $50
$100 3 years $33
Note: $50 and $100 were chosen for
ease of calculation. There is a much
smaller price differential between the true
Morning Pride Tails System and less
capable systems.
We’re so confident in the superiority of
our product, that we’ll field test ANY
PLACE, ANY TIME. No one can duplicate
the Morning Pride Tails System
because it is exactly that: A SYSTEM of
patented features that deliver absolutely
the best in comfort, fit and safety. PLUS,
no one can even come close to our field
test win percentage, our other 160+
performance patents or the number of
active fire departments who insist on
ONLY Morning Pride levels of protection.
In short, the Tails System is just
that, a system of patents (of which
the variegated length hem is only a
small part and essentially ineffective
as a standalone).

You can verify the rise and reach advantages yourself with in-field comparisons (of same sized gear on one individual).
Remember, the more a coat rides up, the greater the chance for protective gap between coats and pants and the more the
firefighter “carries” with each overhead motion. Morning Pride rise at maximal extension is, we believe, the industry lowest.
Don’t be fooled by competitive rise demos where the sales rep holds his or her shoulders artificially immobile or only raises one
arm. You can specify these requirements with Morning Pride generated specs.

Standard Sleeve
Reach is the span of movement that garment
permits. Extra reach costs the manufacturer money
in extra material, but less resisted motion means
less stress for the firefighter in the field. It also
means the sleeves do not pull up with motion,
exposing the firefighter’s body to allow potential
burns. Finally, since the firefighter is not fighting his
coat to move, it means a far more durable product
(i.e. better life cycle cost effectiveness).
You can also recreate the comparison in the field
(same size and operational model garments
please) and you can specify reach requirements
(as Morning Pride generated specs do).

“Tails Weigh 15% Less”
Explained
The reference to “Weighs 15% Less”
comparison is between a Tails coat and
an old style traditional, longer, straight
Table of Contents
hem coat. It was not that long ago when
much longer straight hem coats were the
norm with “day boots,” and bunker pants
were only worn at night or in the winter.
In fact, this is where the name “night
hitch” came from for bunker pants and is
still commonly used in some regions of
the country, much like “bunking pants” is
still used a lot in the Pacific Northwest,
and the “bunk” in both bunker pants and
bunking pants has the very same
origin...because they were kept at the
ready in the firehouse bunk room...which
is not allowed by NFPA 1851 anymore.
So, when the Tails Coat was originally
invented by Morning Pride, we weighed
our old coat verses the new “Tails”
version built to the exact same material
specs, pockets and patches. The difference
was 15%. The difference between
identically configured Tails and a 35”
straight hem coat is a little less than that.
To identify one point in the last 20 or
so years that did more to change and
influence turnout gear design than any
other thing, even more than IAFF Project
FIRES (which was a 35” coat & waist
high bunker), it was the introduction and
then overwhelming success of the tails
coat & pant system. This is not just
corporate smoke blowing either. Once
upon a time two piece suits like Astra,
Aegis, Protect-All, Sterling Heights, etc.,
which used short “Ike” like jackets and
stressful tall waisted or bib pants were all
the rage, and have now completely
vanished. In addition, nearly every
manufacturer now makes a coat that
“looks” like an “Imitation Tails” calling
them hanging name patches, etc.
But only the fully engineered Tails
System that incorporates all our
advanced patterning on the coat and
pant, with our special features and
superior construction provides you with
the Real Deal and allows the least, yet
safe, coat-to-pant overlap which provides
the best lower body/upper legs freedom
of movement.

Crotch Design
Diagram also shows Kinetic Kut Pants superimposed over

eliminates binding material bulk in crotch. In effect, our Kinetic

Note, the tremendously larger size of our Structural BPR

inserts; also our insert has no seaming. Competitive insert is
seamed in center. The extra bulk of a seam in this already
constricted area on bulky bunker clothing is less than desirable.
Full Range of Motion Crotch (F.R.O.M.) Diamond insert moves

Liner Inspection Port
(Patented)
Within this marketplace, it has become
common for the moisture barrier and
thermal liner to be sewn together as a
unit (as opposed to being hemmed
separately). This combined hemming
method offers the important advantages
of minimizing liquid wicking up the thermal
liner from the hem and maximally
protecting the often fragile moisture
barrier from the contaminates of the
fireground.
Liner Inspection
Ports Standard on
All Morning Pride
Clothing
Unfortunately, the combined hemming
also has one serious negative. When the
liner and moisture barrier are hemmed
together, it means that the fill of the liner
and the base of the moisture barrier are
the ONLY elements of the protective
systems that can NOT be routinely
inspected in the field. A deteriorated
thermal liner fill could mean sharply
reduced thermal protective performance.
Similarly, a damaged moisture barrier
substrate could forecast serious leakage
and reduced protection.
Our LINER INSPECTION PORT offers
the advantages of a combined hemming
system BUT also allows effective
inspection of the liner fill and moisture
barrier substrate.
Existing Morning Pride garment liners
can also be retrofitted with inspection
ports. All garments automatically include
the liner inspection port, since continued
bloodborne pathogen resistance is
dependent on moisture barrier integrity
(as well as more visible garment design
integrity).
When the inspection port is closed, the
liner is basically indistinguishable from
any ordinary liner. On three-layer
systems, the tails/coat port is at the
right front (and fly of pants). On twolayer
systems, the tail/coat port is full
length of tail (and fly of pants).
One competitor’s liner inspection
port is bulky at the neck, is far
more expensive and is harder to
use, especially to re-assemble.
Important Caution: Beware of
occasional competitive offerings
of separately hemmed, perhaps
bartacked together, moisture barriers
and thermal liners (as an alternative
to this highly popular Inspection Port
option). Separate hemming is NOT
recommended by the quality barrier
manufacturers since it exposes the
membrane to damaging contaminants
and allows (with movement) wicking
up the non-moisture barrier faced
thermal liner.
Table of Contents
This photo shows the inspection port
open, note the hook and pile closure
mechanism.
This photo shows the inverted liner
sleeve being drawn through the
inspection port (on pants, the port is
located in the fly area).
The entire liner is inverted for easy
inspection. After inspection it is fed back
through the inspection port. Total inversion
and inversion reversal (after inspection)
takes less than 3 minutes; the
secret is to reach through the inspection
port to the farthest combined point (end
of sleeve cuff) and pull there.

however, knit Kevlar ® has a tendency to
lose its elasticity and become baggy over
time (a condition that can be predicted

The commitment to excellence and
customer service that has fueled our
design/patterning work has also guided
our construction/manufacturing work.
A Morning Pride garment offers not only
the finest patterning in the industry, but
the finest in construction features as
well.
Non Flammable
Constituent Materials
(except EMS garments)
This competitive bunker garment liner
was purchased in this condition. Note
flame support on extraneous factory
marking.
Competitor
Photo shows that both items on the
competitive liner actively supported
flame (they had to be extinguished).
There are no cost saving flammable
bindings, labels or masking tape on
Morning Pride garments.
Since the outer shell can be torn and
these flammable items exposed, we
believe our more expensive production
method that utilizes only non-flammable
constituents is the only truly safe and
responsible alternative.
On Any Garment…

Similarly, this competitive label
supported combustion (note active

effective flame support.
Since both the hang up loop and label
are placed in the neck area, and since
ember movement down the neck is a
real possibility, we believe our more
expensive production method that
utilizes only non-flammable constituents
is the only truly safe and responsible
alternative.

So Whose Seams are
Stronger...Let the Lab
Data Tell the Tale!
One of our competitors very frequently
touts their “10 stitches per inch seaming”
as superior to the other seaming in the
industry. We have long talked through
the issues with dealers/customers, but
test data DEFINITIVELY tells the tale.
Before reviewing that data, let’s review
the issues that help explain the results:
Increased stitches per inch can help
or hurt. If you have too few stitches, the
seam strength definitely suffers. But if
you have too many stitches per inch,
then you have fall-offs in strength of the
finished seam as the material becomes
perforated and weak. Think of the
perforated holes that allow you to easily
rip paper out of a notebook.
What is the correct number of
stitches per inch? The correct number
of stitches per inch is a direct function of
the thread weight and strength. With
stronger thread you can cut down the
number of stitches to inhibit “perforation”
and get even better seam strength numbers.
That is why we use the heaviest
thread in the industry... Tex 90 and Tex
70 Craq Spuns.

So what does the test data show?
We took a sample of this competitor’s
garment and we compared seam breaking
strengths with ours. We use double
needle, double feld everywhere, as it is
the strongest seaming made. When we
compare to several different types of
stitching in the competitive garment, that
indicates they use a variety of seaming
methods in differing areas and we are
comparing to all their seams.
Note: Results are expressed as pounds
of seam strength before breakage using
the standardized NFPA 1971 seam
breakage testing protocol. SPI means
“stitches per inch”, and although this
competitor claims to use 10 stitches per
inch, the samples we looked at exhibited
the noted lower SPI numbers in the chart
below. The composite tested was 7.5 oz
Black Nomex ® IIIA Outer Shell, Nomex ®
Semi-slick Thermal Liner and Crosstech ®
Moisture Barrier (Model 2412).
So in summary, Morning Pride seaming
is superior in strength in all areas per
standardized ASTM, NFPA testing. We
suggest dealers share this data when
presented with the “10 stitches per inch
is better” competitive claims. We will
also allow fire departments to watch this
testing themselves in our lab, at no
charge to them. It is hard to dispute
something that the fire department can
observe (over and over if they want) for
themselves.

Seam Guard Trim Edge
Protection Patented
2007 edition garments allow us to stop
the inboard coat cuff and pants cuff trim
1/2” before the seam. This will DRAMATI-
CALLY reduce thread wear at this
elevated, high abrasion seam area (the
hard surface of the trim at this area
actually “presents” the stitching for
abrasion, where stitches in textiles can
“hide” in the weave of the material).
But our field test of the stopped trim
showed that the pointed edge of the
folded back (or simply stopped) trim
also caught on objects (perhaps even
more than the seam itself). We have
developed a Seam Guard (Patented)
that covers the thread at the seam in
this area but does not also cause a trim
sharp edge at this area. The Seam
Guard is standard on all garments.

EZ Access Sleeves Now
Standard Patent Pending
Traditionally, our sleeve construction
included the sealed bartacking of the
thermal liner to the moisture barrier.
This is an effective attachment method,
but many of our customers have asked
us to look at alternative constructions in
this area that:
1. Made liner inversion easier during the
now required NFPA 1851 Complete
Liner Inspection.
2. Allowed easier interior moisture
barrier and thermal liner examination
in the sleeve area – even at times
other than the Complete Liner
Inspection.
We have developed and field tested a
variety of designs and are now standardizing
our most preferred design as a
running, no-charge change. Specifically,
the now standard EZ Access sleeve
design features a double snap
system – outer shell to moisture barrier,
and moisture barrier to thermal liner.
There is no visual difference unless you
disassemble the garment. Plus, there is
absolutely no feel difference – the extra
snap floats on a tab in the space
between the liner and moisture barrier
with careful alignment to avoid both
snaps doubling up.
A side benefit is that twisted sleeves can
be easily adjusted.

Reinforcements
Triple or double layers of material are
provided at cuffs and pockets to ensure
added durability in these high wear
areas. Competitors don’t reinforce at all,
or they use much cheaper, dry rot prone,
water absorbing leather that offers lower
puncture resistance, lower abrasion
resistance, lower tear strength, lower
thermal insulation values and lower
flame resistance than additional outer
shell layers (i.e. Pbi , Nomex ® , etc). For
customers who prefer the appearance
characteristics of leather reinforcements,
please see the custom option section of
this catalog.
Seams (Sleeve
Attachment)
Major A seams in Morning Pride garments
are double stitched and double
feld throughout the garment (except for
the Major A seam on the collar, which is
single-needle lock stitched three times).
Some competitors only serge and single
stitch their seams which, while less expensive
to do, is also far less durable.
The serging exposes part of the material
and hence allows considerable fraying
(hence seam deterioration) with use.
While many brands feature the strongest
seam made (double needle, double feld)
at highly visible garment areas, this competitive
garment features the far less impressive
safety stitch at less visible areas
(sleeve to coat outer shell attachment
shown in photo for instance). In contrast,
Morning Pride garments feature the more
expensive to manufacture but significantly
stronger double needle, double feld
seaming at ALL Major A and B joining
areas including less visible, but still garment
critical, areas like this sleeve attach-

On the same point, and perhaps even
more interestingly, this photo shows that
the exterior of this competitive coat
looks like high quality double needle,
double feld seaming is used throughout
the garment.
The interior view (at the upper right),
however, reveals the truth. See that true
felling is only used on one side of the
competitor’s gusset insert. Again, ALL
Morning Pride seaming is the stronger
and more expensive to manufacturer
double needle, double feld (except for the
Major A seam on the collar, which is
single-needle lock stitched three times).
Independent data is available from our
Customer Service Department to
corroborate the superior strength of the
double feld seam.
All Morning Pride garments feature self
binding (for layers not sewn in) which,
while more expensive, offers some
strong advantages over the bulk of
separate binding pieces.
Some competitor’s choice in non-self
bindings is also particularly objectionable,
not only for the flammability
reasons shown here and noted
earlier, but because it is a porous
material. As such, it can wick moisture
from outside the barrier to the inside
of the firefighter’s protective envelope.
Some competitors intensify the
flammability/wicking problems by leaving
long ends of the binding hanging on the
Table of Contents
Competitor
garments (as this sample competitive
product was purchased).
Morning Pride
In contrast, Morning Pride’s turned and
stitched liner edge offers lock stitched
strength and durability, with no wicking
possibility (and, of course, no flammability
problems).
Protective Overlap at
Closures
Panels of moisture barriers specified (not
a substitute of cheaper, non-breathable
material as used in some competitive
garments) and thermal liner facings
assure double overlap of the full protective
envelope at these critical areas of
Morning Pride garments. In contrast,
many competitive products don’t continue
the thermal barrier at the facings so offer
much lower insulative protection.
Not only does Morning Pride offer as
much as 96% higher TPP (Thermal
Protective Performance) at Structural
and Proximity facings, Morning Pride
panels are turned and finished as well,
while many competitors are only serged.
The Morning Pride Anti-Wicking Strip
(Patented and lighter color material in

offers greater
assurance of
continued
protection.

Pockets
As a standard, Morning Pride Structural
BPR and LTO, as well as Proximity BPR
and LTO coats/Tails , are provided with
a liner pocket constructed of breathable
flame resistant cotton (printed with our
DANGER label, please see below).
Morning Pride does not use cheaper but
breathability- blocking neoprene based
materials for close to body placement
pockets. Beyond that, all pockets must
be specified as custom option upgrades
(please see pages 143-146) since there
is no uniformity as to pocket requirements
(this reverses our previous standard
of two patch pockets on coats).
Labels
The new
DANGER
labels are
large to hold
all the necessary
information. Other firms use nonbreathable
labels that can block up to
20% of the breathable surface area of
your moisture barrier (and often in key
ventilative areas, like the trunk). In
contrast, Morning Pride uses the higher
cost, but fully breathable, custom integralization
(Patent Pending) process label.
Additionally, while most competitors glue
their labels on for the cost savings that
offers, Morning Pride lock stitches their
labeling on. Glued labels are stiff, further
block breathability, are less durable and
the glue (if exposed by flexing) can be
highly flammable.
Sizing
All Morning Pride garments may be
ordered custom tailored to the individual’s
chest, sleeve length, height, waist
inseam and crotch rise. We have a full
range of women’s patterning as well
(please specify “Women’s Patterning” on
order). Since stress is the major source
of fireground injuries and fatalities, we
feel proper fit is critical. Some competitors
make their garments available in
only small, medium, and large sizes
which means that they really do not fit
anyone well.
Finishing
To ensure maximum durability, there is
not a single skipped stitch or raw edge
(which will unravel to failure) on a
Morning Pride garment. In contrast,
some competitive garments feature over
40 inches of raw edges to unravel and
eventually fail.
The entire waistband of these competitive
pants was raw on all three layers.
Competitor
Option Stitching
All options, including trim, are attached
to the Morning Pride garment with lock
stitching. Most competitors attach all
options with chain stitching or double
chain stitching.
Chain stitching is used to close the top
of a bag of dog food; break one stitch
and the whole system unravels (see
photo of competitive product).
In contrast, with Morning Pride’s lock
stitching, each stitch is knotted or locked
as part of the stitching operation. With
lock stitching, when a stitch is broken
(hard to avoid in the rugged fire fighting
environment) the stitches on each side
hold and the entire stitch line does not
unravel. This is a particularly important
issue as it relates to the stitching that
attaches the trim to your garment. Trim
has a harder, firmer surface than the
textiles that comprise most of the
garment. While the textiles allow
stitches to settle in among the weave,
the hardness of the trim surface “presents”
the stitches as a raised surface
that therefore takes more abrasion and
snags in the hostile fire fighting environ-

The photo demonstrates how unraveling
occurs when a single stitch of chain is

ment. The answer as noted above is to
lock stitch the trim (and all other options)
but that requires a more skilled operator,
more expensive stitching equipment,
takes longer and uses far more of the
very expensive aramid threads. For
those reasons, we are the only major
producer to 100% lock stitch our trim.
Rather than truly fixing the problem in
this manner, some of our competitors
double chain stitch their trim. This is not
an effective design answer since if one
stitch line is broken/snagged, the other
line only 1 ⁄4” away will most frequently also
be impacted (and you will have two stitch
lines unraveling). Just as non-productively,
one of our other competitors tries
to address the problem by burying their
stitching in a thin webbing strip. This actually
increases the profile of the thread
assembly which we believe actually
causes more snags/unravelings. As the
photo (drawn from a national ad for
another product) below shows, this
relatively lightly used garment ALREADY

trim webbing/ stitching has been abraded

Design Concept
Almost all finer menswear (suit, coat,
sport coat, overcoats) are designed with
one-piece set-in sleeves and three-piece
bodies. Morning Pride tailors its garments
(shell and inner liners) in this
proven design style. Most competitors
use less expensive one-piece styling
(known derisively in the garment trade
as a bag coat since it cannot be tailored
to follow natural body contours) on at
least some of the layers. While threepiece
tailoring is more expensive to
manufacture, we feel a properly fitting
coat is essential to a firefighter’s comfort
and safety on the fireground.

notice, Morning Pride seaming on liners
matches 3-piece seam tailoring on shell.
In contrast, many competitive coats (as
in photo 1) feature the visible outer shell
tailoring but have only a 1-piece liner (no
seam on liner). This means they fail to
offer FULL 3-piece tailoring advantages.
Similarly, Morning Pride’s moisture
barrier is tailored 3-piece styling like the
outer shell, and the competitor is often
offering a non-seamed 1-piece moisture
barrier styling (see photo 2). The extra
Morning Pride tailoring costs time and
money in production; otherwise just the
illusion of a tailored 3-piece
garment is provided.
All moisture barrier seams are tape
sealed for maximum waterproofness.
Liner Attachment
Construction Advantages
Structural and Proximity BPR and LTO
moisture barriers and thermal liners are
provided fully detachable via snap
buttons (unless the order requests
otherwise). Structural TAC outer shell,
moisture barrier and thermal liners are
sewn together to allow reversibility with a
Liner Inspection Port on the tail and pants
fly. Similarly, Technical Rescue and
Recovery and EMS garments feature
sewn-in moisture barriers (with Liner
Inspection Port at the tail and pants fly).
If your order requests the liners be sewn
in on garments that normally feature
detachable moisture barrier liners, we will
do so at no extra charge at waist and
collar. In operational models that normally
feature detachable liners, the thermal liner
and moisture barrier are sewn together as
a unit and attach to the outer shell on
directly mounted snap buttons. Any winter
liners snap in separately in the same
manner. For garments with sewn-in moisture
barrier/ thermal liners, there is usually
a design reason they must not be detachable
(pre-conditioning survivability,
reversibility, etc.).

Morning Pride garments feature onepiece
styling: in contrast many competi-
tive products feature a two-piece styling

over the elbow (see photo below left).
This seam (in all three layers) is very
uncomfortable when weight is carried on
the elbow. Also putting a seam on the
high abrasion, movement critical, elbow
point is (in our opinion) poor design.
Storm Shield
In Structural and Proximity garments, a
double thickness exterior mounted storm
shield offers superior water shielding
properties with maximum flexibility. Some
competitors use an interior mounted
shield that channels water/fluids into the
protective envelope. Technical Rescue
and Recovery and EMS garments do not
feature a storm shield as standard. On
Structural TAC garments, there are two
smaller storm shields to allow reversibility.

How do I Order Custom
Stock?
• Call 1-800-688-6148...we will
teleconference with your authorized
local Morning Pride dealer to follow up,
or you may contact your local dealer
directly.
In either case, we will ask you to:
• Pick Your Materials...we will ask
which material part numbers you
prefer. A full discussion of each
material can be found starting on
page 67.
• Choose Your Options...we will ask
which custom options you prefer.
Custom options can be found starting
on page 94.
• Place Your Order...Two Week
Delivery – Guaranteed! We will ask
your Morning Pride dealer to place
your order, noting your preferred
materials and custom options. The
order must note “Custom Stock,” or
we will assume normal delivery.
Are there Any Qualifiers?
Yes, but only the most reasonable...
• The two-week delivery period begins
with Morning Pride’s receipt of your
order AND the receipt of answers to all
open questions on the order. If we
receive your order but there are no
sizes on the order and we request the
information, our two-week delivery
period begins when you are able to
provide us with the size information.
The delivery period ends when we ship
product.
• We reserve the right to discontinue
particular Custom Stock materials
temporarily or permanently if material
availability becomes a problem. If you
order such a material, we will contact
you immediately to determine
any alternatives you may wish to
pursue (wait for the material, move to a
different material, etc.).
• While our automated line should assure
the promised two-week turnaround
time, there may occasionally be
extenuating circumstances that cause
us to miss the two-week window by a
few days. In those cases, we will
deduct the 10% model upcharge.
• As with all custom-optioned products,
we cannot accept cancellations once
production has commenced.
Express Service
Expanded offerings
However, there will be times when
Custom Stock won’t meet your quick
delivery needs. Perhaps you wish a
non-Custom Stock composite of materials,
or perhaps you want an option that
is outside our normal manufacturing
processes (for example, Chicago
closures, Boot Access Panels). For
those situations, Morning Pride’s
Express Service is the perfect alternative.
For decades, we have offered a
six-week delivery period for a 10%
upcharge (the same % upcharge as the
Custom Stock program). The flexibility
and sophistication of our fully automated
factory allows us to offer this program.
8 Week Express 7% upcharge
6 Week Express 10% upcharge
(standard
express)
5 Week Express 15% upcharge
4 Week Express 20% upcharge
As with Custom Stock, upcharges will be
reduced if we fail to meet the requested
delivery period to reflect the actual
delivery (your order will continue to be
expedited so any delays should be
minimal). We also reserve the right to
refuse Express orders for particular
materials, if the mills are experiencing
temporary production difficulties (if this
Table of Contents
happens, we will notify you upon receipt
of your order to allow you to consider
materials substitutions that would still
allow the quick delivery you require).
Finally, as with Custom Stock, the
delivery period is defined as the time
between the date we receive the order
(and any missing information is
provided) and the date we ship from
Dayton.
If your order simply states “Express”
(without specifying which Express period)
we will presume you wish the 6-week
Express option that has been our
standard express offering for many
years.
A Tip....
Our newly expanded
factory is further
reducing our delivery
period. Check normal
delivery before ordering
EXPRESS.

After making your material choices, the
charts on pages 89 to 92 will help you
determine the appropriate model
numbers. However, it is important to
remember that the 2007 edition of the
NFPA 1971 Structural and Proximity fire
fighting Standard requires some composite
testing where all three layers of the
system are tested together. Some possible
combinations of materials fail to pass
one or several of these composite tests
and hence are not available. Additionally,
this composite testing is relatively expensive,
so not all possible combinations
of materials were tested. All popular
composites were tested, but some
obscure and infrequently combined
material combinations were not tested.
Therefore, it is necessary to refer to our
price list to determine if a particular
model number you have decided upon is
available. The price list also provides
TPP (insulation) and THL (breathability)
test numbers for each of the systems
certified. If you have selected a model
number not listed on our price list,
please contact our Customer Service
Department in Dayton and ask for the
Inside Marketing Associate (IMA) for
your geographic region. In all cases,
there will be an available system that is
very close to what you had initially
decided upon and your IMA will assist
you in locating that system. Your IMA will
also have updated information on any
recently tested or added systems.
Trade Names — The 2007 edition of
NFPA 1971 requires that the same
materials from different mills must be
individually tested in each composite. In
other words, if 7.5 oz Pbi from Southern
Mills passes all composite testing
(Thermal Heat Loss [THL] and Thermal
Protective Performance [TPP], primarily),
the same material description from Difco
must also be tested. Because of the
expense of this composite testing, this
has effectively meant that on some
composite model numbers, we may only
have done the necessary testing with
one mill’s material. We suggest for this
reason that the customer order by our
model number. If you desire a particular
mill’s product, contact our Customer
67
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
Material Choices
Service Department to see if that particular
mill’s product was tested in the
composite desired. The mill’s trade
names are listed here only to allow the
customer to cross reference to our model
numbering system most efficiently.

Trade-Offs — Almost all material
choices involve trade-offs. For instance,
customers must consider their relative
needs for a less stressful, easy to move
in (lighter material) system versus their
needs for durability and high insulation
(typically offered by heavier materials).
There are design options that can
address material shortcomings, while
retaining the material’s strengths (for instance,
replaceable Nomex ® /Kevlar ®
knees can address the lower wear life of
lighter fabrics, while allowing the flexibility
advantages they offer to be retained).
Your Honeywell First Responder Products
Regional Director and his technical
support team can help you understand
and address these trade-off issues and
design fixes. Contact us via telephone,
fax, email or our website and we will be
glad to help!

Outer Shells Materials
Discussion
Fabric Weights – Generally the heavier
the weight of the material, the higher the
durability of the outer shell. However,
the lighter the weight of the material, the
more flexible, the more breathable, the
more minimally stressful and easier to
move in the outer shell generally is.
Many fire departments will opt for a
lighter (say 6 oz Coat/Tails outer shell)
and a heavier pants outer shell material
(say 7.5 oz) since crawling imposes such
a heavy wear burden (primarily on the
knees). Other fire departments order
heavier weight pocket and knee reinforcements
for lighter weight shells.
The most popular and durable pocket
linings are 8 oz Kevlar ® or Kevlar ® /
Nomex ® . For knees, Kevlar ® /Nomex ® is
the most popular choice (it can be dyed
and 100% Kevlar ® is only available in
pale yellow). Removable, replaceable
knee options also make high wear knee
maintenance easy and affordable.
Fabric Weaves – Generally rip stop
weaves are slightly more durable than
twill weaves, but twill weaves are more
supple and easy to move in. The most
durable rip stops are three pics, but two
pics are more supple and less subject to
napping or fuzziness after field wear.
Waterproofing Finishes – Enhanced
waterproofing (Teflon F or F.P.P.E. from
Safety Components Technologies, Super
Shelltite from Southern Mills, Stay Dry
Plus from Difco, HyPel from Amatex
Norfab, etc.) offers longer lasting outer
shell water repellency, but remember it is
the moisture barrier, which is unaffected
by waterproofing finishes, that is your
primary shield against moisture penetration.
Enhanced waterproofing may also
offer increases in durability on some
fabrics.
Comparing Outer Shell Degradation Temperatures
Outer Shell Our Model Number Temperature Degradation
Nomex IIIA ® 24xx 700°F or Greater
Basofil ® /Kevlar ® 25xx 1,000°F or Greater
Pbi /Kevlar ® 32xx 1,300°F or Greater
PBO /Technora 33xx 1,300°F or Greater
Kevlar ® /Nomex ® 34xx 1,050°F or Greater
Pbi Matrix 42xx 1,300°F or Greater
Kevlar ® /Nomex ® 44xx 1,000°F or Greater
PBO /Kevlar ® /Nomex ® 64xx 1,200°F or Greater
Degradation means the loss of desirable fiber properties by such means as heat, light,
chemical, or nuclear radiation.
Government
Statement on Nomex ®
Misinterpreted...
A recent release by the U.S. Forest
Service has caused several calls to
the factory asking if Nomex ® can
“become flammable.”
As world-class experts in the manufacturing
of firefighter protective
clothing, and with an in-house ISO
17025 lab, we can state with 100%
confidence that the information
concerning DEET is as follows:
Nomex ® , Kevlar ® , Basofil ® , Pbi and
PBO ® fibers/blends/yarns/ fabrics
are inherently flame resistant,
meaning that the flame resistance
CANNOT be washed out or worn off.
End users however, should be
aware that DEET and some of its
other ingredients are flammable and
should not be allowed to build up
on FR fabrics. If your department
already follows the NFPA 1851
recommendations for routine and
advanced cleaning, this is NOT an
issue at all.
For more information, contact our
Customer Service Deartment and
ask for Dealer Advisory #568.
Potential Industry
Wide Shortage of
Nomex ® – Berry
Amendment Issues
as a Result...
As of the date of the printing of this
catalog, Tencate (Southern Mills)
suggests, there MAY be an industrywide
shortage of Nomex ® fibers
from DuPont. This affects all mills.
Our other suppliers have contacted
us as well and ALL manufacturers
that use Nomex ® products.
We will do all we can to minimize
the impact, but we use Nomex ® in
essentially all our product lines. We
will keep you apprised and do all we
can to minimize any problems for
you. Right now, we have no new
delays, but the future will require
careful management and we may
see some disruptions.
One related change is that the
Nomex ® we do receive for a while
will be from DuPont’s facility in
Spain. Therefore, it is VERY important
that you note any military
orders subject to Berry Amendment
requirements for U.S. materials, so
we hold U.S. product for those
orders. It is possible that Berry
orders will be delayed longer than
non-Berry orders, but again, we will
do our best to minimize the impact.

Outer Shell Options
Basofil ® /Kevlar ®
Basofil ® /Kevlar ® products being marketed
in the fire service (ours and competitors’)
are actually an engineered
blend of 40% Basofil ® and 60% Kevlar ® .
This outer shell offers exceptional heat
blocking characteristics across a range
of heat fluxes and thus will often allow
the use of lighter liner systems. Basofil ® /
Kevlar ® also appears to be reasonably
durable, but not as durable as Kevlar ® /
Nomex ® , however, does not offer all the
advantages of the premium outer shells
(Pbi ). We also note periodic Black
fading issues (which do not affect protective
performance and are not covered
by warranty, since the problems seem
endemic). If you are interested in Black,
we suggest you strongly consider alternative
outer shells (Nomex ® /Kevlar ® is
the same price range and Black Pbi is
the most durable and protective outer

some recurrent availability problems with
Basofil ® /Kevlar ® and some competitive
fiber providers have raised the issue of
formaldehyde off-gassing. The third
party testing and research we have
seen indicate this is NOT a valid concern.
Basofil ® /Kevlar ® is an intermediately
priced product, and we believe is among
the best of those intermediate products.
The newest Basofil ® product is the Omni
Elite ® , which features a reinforcing grid or
cross hatching of Kevlar ® -sheathed filament
Zylon threads in the product. This
is a very new product and we have seen
some instances of puckering and uneven
shrinkage. As with all Basofil ® products,
we also note some isolated, but recurrent
pilling issues. The issues discussed here
are known and unavoidable characteristics
of Basofil ® in our opinion, and as
such are not covered by our warranty
against defects in materials or workmanship.
For extra durability, we suggest you
consider the Kevlar ® /Nomex ® shells.
Kevlar ® /Nomex ®
Kevlar ® /Nomex ® – This Kevlar ® /Nomex ®
blend product is probably the most durable
outer shell and offers 300% improvement
in char length over Nomex ® IIIA outer
shells. Kevlar ® /Nomex ® stays flexible and
supple, maintaining its integrity after moderately
severe thermal exposure. While
Kevlar ® /Nomex ® is a superior product to
Nomex ® , customers are cautioned that the
premium outer shells (Pbi ) offer strong
comparative advantages. Kevlar ® /Nomex ®
should be considered a Nomex ® upgrade
rather than a Pbi equivalent. Nomex ® /
Kevlar ® is priced between Nomex ® and the
premium shell alternatives. We believe

Kevlar ® /Nomex ® is one of the best of the
products positioned between the premium
shells and Nomex ® with very good comfort
and durability characteristics. Kevlar ® /
Nomex ® is our recommendation for knee
and/or pocket reinforcements; it wears
extremely well. Kevlar ® /Nomex ® is also
now available with an enhanced water
repellency treatment and in a choice of
weights and pics. The Kevlar ® /Nomex ®
product has traditionally been available as
a three pic (three strands form the rip stop
box). But two pic cloth is also available now.
While three pic Rip Stop should be more
durable than two pic, the two pic product
here is a half ounce heavier so that should
compensate. Two pic products will
generally be more supple and less likely to
become nappy or fuzzy with wear (one less
thread strand “presented” for abrasion in
the box weave).
Nomex ® IIIA
Nomex ® IIIA products being marketed in
the fire service (ours and our competitors)
are actually an engineered blend of
93% Nomex ® , 5% Kevlar ® and 2%
Carbon anti-stat). Nomex ® IIIA is the
most economical of the available outer
shells. Nomex ® IIIA will not melt, drip or
char at temperatures up to 700-750 degrees
F. It is also a reasonably durable
and long wearing material. Nomex ® IIIA
is available in two weights (6 oz and 7.5
oz) and two weaves (rip stop, and duck).
The 7.5 oz duck weave outer shell is the
Nomex ® IIIA material which the market is
most familiar with. The other Nomex ® IIIA
product offerings are newer materials.
Nomex ® IIIA is also now available with
enhanced water repellency finishes.

Another Filament Blend
Outer Shell on the Way
Armor...Unlike the 100% filament
Nomex ® of a couple decades ago,
this version of filament outer shell is
being made in the U.S. The UL website
lists the new material as 7.1
ounces per square yard, 75%
Kevlar ® /25% Nomex ® twill with no indication
of the percentage or which
type of filament (Kevlar ® , Nomex ® or
both). Most other stitchers have
found (and pointed out) performance
problems with these types of materials.
We have already lab tested this
latest iteration of filament infused
material and found that it offers no
advantage in Thermal Protective Performance
(TPP), and provides about
30-50 points less Total Heat Loss
(THL), than all the other Kevlar ® rich
Better and Best shells offered by
Morning Pride and all the other manufacturers.
It also appears this new
material is being positioned near the
same price range as Pbi and PBO ® .
But, preliminary burst strength after
some 2.0 cal heat exposures shows
it offers far less than half the remaining
strength as current high end
outer shells. More testing is under
way, but it is already fairly clear
Armor falls well short of premium
shells already on the market.
We will continue testing and add the
product if it appears to provide any
value, but at this point we fail to see
any advantage to the product.
For more information on this
material, contact your Regional
Director.

Pbi /Kevlar ®
Pbi /Kevlar ® products being marketed
in the fire service (ours and our competitors)
are most often as an engineered
blend of 40% Pbi and 60% Kevlar ® .
Pbi /Kevlar ® has distinguished itself in
some of the most active metro departments.
The fabric was initially developed
as part of the Project FIRES effort to
provide non-charring protection at
temperatures above the capabilities of
Nomex ® (approximately 750 degrees F).
While Nomex ® remains an effective
insulator charred, it can break away with
movement, and in the event of a continued
or secondary exposure could allow
a potentially serious breach in the
protective envelope. Pbi /Kevlar ® , in
contrast, will resist charring up to
temperatures that exceed the firefighter’s
biological capabilities. Pbi /Kevlar ®
offers very high anti-char performance.
Pbi /Kevlar ® is available in 7.5 oz weight.
Pbi /Kevlar ® is available with enhanced
waterproofing. This 7.5 oz rip-stop
product is available in Black and dying
the natural Bronze color seems to
dramatically reduce UV degradation
problems and to improve durability. In
our opinion, the Pbi /Kevlar ® outer shell
(especially in Black) is one of the most
preferred and high performing outer shell
products.
Pbi /Kevlar ® – Both Black & Bronze
Pbi are available for quick delivery
in our Custom Stock Program

Pbi Matrix
Material Choices
Pbi Matrix products being marketed in
the fire service (ours and our competitors)
are an engineered blend of Pbi and
Kevlar ® with the addition of Kevlar ®
“cables” into the weaving of the cloth. In
our opinion, the biggest advantage of the
addition of these Kevlar ® cables is an
improvement in fabric strength after
ultraviolet light exposure for undyed
Bronze cloth. We consider this significant,
primarily for Bronze undyed color product,
because the dye in Black Pbi /Kevlar ®
seems to minimize UV degradation issues
already. The only real complaint we have
ever had from the field on Pbi /Kevlar ®
product is the UV sensitivity of undyed
Bronze product (of course, all FR
materials have the same UV sensitivity,
but most products are dyed, which
protects against UV somewhat). The
addition of the Kevlar ® cables seems to
help the Bronze undyed Matrix Pbi
address this challenge. There are also
Taber Abrasion and Trap Tear advantages
for the Pbi Matrix (as compared to traditional
Pbi /Kevlar ® ), but since traditional
Pbi /Kevlar ® already performed exceptionally
well in those areas, we consider
those improvements less significant.
These Matrix products use Kevlar ®
cables, feature enhanced water repellency
and are 7.2 to 7.5 oz weight
materials. The Gemini Matrix uses a 400
denier Kevlar ® cable and the SCT Matrix
uses a heavier 600 denier Kevlar ® cable.
Both materials are visually distinguishable
from traditional Pbi /Kevlar ® , and to a
lesser extent from each other.

Morning Pride’s professional opinion is
that Pbi /Kevlar ® Black and Pbi Matrix
Bronze are the highest performing and
most protective outer shell choices.
Outer shells made with DuPont Nomex ® and Kevlar ® are lightweight,
tough and strong and offer proven
comfort, thermal performance and
durability. Kevlar ® and Nomex ® offer
superior protection in thermal liners
and breathable moisture barriers, too.

Note: Fire departments have asked
for comparative data on Black shell
performance (it appears to be
increasingly popular). Contact our
Customer Service Department for
further information on the performance
of Black shells (ask for Dealer
Advisory #509). We also have a study
that highlights the visual contrast
sensitivity of Black shells against the
reflective trim. This study provides
you with new justifications for
specifying Black or darker shells
(ask for our Dealer Advisory #544).
New Justifications for Black Outer
Shells
The market seems to be turning back to Black outer shells.
We are asked almost weekly how to best justify such a
move in light of some recently produced garments of Black
Basofil ® that exhibited some unusual fading and/or streakiness
after washing.
We have produced two studies. One covers the various
justifications for Black outer shell specification, while the
other highlights the visual contrast sensitivity of Black
shells against the reflective trim products. The combined
packet of these studies should prove useful to those who
are interested in such a move. Contact our Customer
Service Department and ask for the two studies on the
justifications of Black outer shells (Dealer Advisory #509
and #544).
Filament Outer Shells
Field problems with competitive
filament outer shells and liners
have recently surfaced. We have
documented these in our Read

PBO ® Blends
PBO ® Blend products being marketed in
the fire service (ours and our competitors)
are actually an engineered blend of
40% Zylon and 60% Technora and 40%
PBO ® /60% Kevlar ® . PBO ® is the newest
of the premium outer shells, being
commercialized only in early 2000.
PBO ® performs most like Pbi /Kevlar ®
but offers comparatively higher taber
abrasion test results (which should
translate into better durability), lower
water absorption tendencies, higher
tear strength and better anti-char
characteristics (but Pbi /Kevlar ® already
offers such high anti-char resistance that
this latter point may be of suspect value).
In fact, PBO ® offers the best performance
in Taber Abrasion resistance
testing when compared to any other
commercially available outer shell fabric.
PBO ® also offers the highest strength
retention and thermal stability after
thermal exposure when compared to any
other commercially available outer shell
fabric. PBO ® composites, however, tend
to deliver lower insulative performance
than composites with equivalent weight
Pbi outer shells. Also, PBO ® durability
problems have been reported in other
markets (especially bullet-proof vests).
PBO ® , as initially offered, was somewhat
stiff, but Southern Mills (currently the
only source for PBO ® under their trade
name Millenia ® ) has done much and
continues to work to soften the hand of
the product. This catalog includes a very
lightweight and flexible 5.3 oz
PBO ® /Kevlar ® shell which we feel is ideal
for Technical Rescue and Recovery
applications. PBO ® is so durable that this
lightweight shell will offer acceptable life
in Technical Rescue and Recovery use
(with very low resistance to motion
and bulk). In Technical Rescue and
Recovery, the comparative decreased
insulation noted with PBO ® is not a
significant issue as it is in Structural
firefighting applications. Contact your

Improvements in
Millenia ® PBO ® ...
Southern Mills has announced
some improvements in Millenia ®
(33xx in the Morning Pride model
numbering system). They are
replacing the Millenia ® with Millenia
XT ® on a running change basis and
our model number will remain
unchanged.
Compared to Millenia ® , Millenia XT ®
has the following differences:
• It is a Rip Stop weave as opposed
to Millenia’s Twill
• Perhaps because of the extra air
spaces in the Rip Stop weave, we
have seen a fairly significant jump
in TPPs. Lower TPPs (than other
outer shells of comparative
weight) have always been a
problem for Millenia ® , but the XT
product has bridged much of the
gap.
• The feel is much softer and more
supple
While the market has little field
experience with the new XT
product, lab results are very
encouraging. Southern Mills is so
convinced that Millenia XT ® offers
strong durability advantages, that
they are offering a free 5-year
warranty against fabric holes and
tears.
Like Millenia ® , Millenia XT ® is only
available in natural gold (bronze).

Aluminized Pbi Para Aramid –
Although Morning Pride has manufactured
Proximity products out of
aluminized Para Aramid and Nomex ® in
the past, the advantages of the new knit
Pbi Para Aramid aluminum substrate
are so strong that we have limited our

aluminized skin is a problem that
plagues most conventional fabrics.
The suppleness of this aluminized
33%/Pbi /67% Para Aramid knit helps to
reduce cracking significantly. Because
they are stiff, conventional aluminized
woven fabrics tend to crease in the same

Material Choices
Para Aramid knit creases differently
each time it bends, and this helps to
prolong the life of the aluminum coating.
Customers should, however, be aware
that while this is the most durable of
aluminized shells, all aluminized fabrics
have a much shorter wear life than
non-aluminized fabrics (but non-aluminized
fabrics don’t meet NFPA 1971
radiant heat test requirements). As the
chart below shows, the Pbi Para Aramid
knit fabric is significantly lighter, more
flexible and more supple than the earlier
aluminized products of Para Aramid and
Nomex ® (test results show that it takes
up to five times more force to bend the
earlier fabrics). The lighter weight of the
Table of Contents
Pbi Para Aramid knit also means
wearers may experience less stress and
fatigue. Finally, the chart that follows
shows better or equivalent protective

knit (in spite of its lower weight and

Thermal Lining Material
Discussions
(Listed Alphabetically)
See Page 67 for Trade Name of Thermal
Linings Discussion
Fabric Weights
Generally the lower weight the liner
material, the less insulation but the more
breathability. The Indianapolis IAFF
study demonstrated that the degree of
breathability of a system strongly
correlated with the physiological stress
imposition of that system on the
firefighter (high breathability minimized
stress imposition and low breathability
increased stress imposition). Stress
remains the leading cause of firefighter
death. In fact, stress is the causative
factor for more firefighter deaths than all
other factors added together! Therefore
maximizing system breathability to
reduce stress is a critical design goal.
Our customers have enjoyed great
success by utilizing dead air panels and
extended dead air panels to beef up the
insulative performance of the new
thinner, high breathability liners (i.e. thus
having lighter liner advantages without
77
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
Material Choices
their disadvantages). We recommend
that customers strongly consider some
of these new lighter liners with dead air
or extended dead air panels as they are
proving uniquely effective at maintaining
adequate protection levels with
minimized stress imposition.
Slickness
A slick facecloth will make your liner
easier to put on and will make the
garment feel much better while trying on
(say in a trade show booth). However
the slick facecloths tend to not wick as
well as the non-slick facecloths. That is
why slick liners are often reported as
being “clammy” in field use. The slick
liners also tend to offer lower breathability
performance, which can translate into
sharply reduced comfort levels and
accelerated stress build-up. Southern
Mills has blended slick filament and
woven strands in their Caldura faced
liners (and SCT does the same in their
Glide liners) to help address this
problem.
Quilting
All Morning Pride liners, except the
TAC xxNx one layer liner, feature fill and
facecloth stitched together in a quilt
pattern for maximum stability and
durability.

Appropriate Moisture
Management in
Firefighter PPE...
Most of you are aware of the unique
position that one competitor has
taken within the marketplace: that
drier liners are better. We and
essentially all other manufacturers
(and the athletic sports industry)
have pushed systems that absorb
sweat off your skin with the heat
energy it carries, which then spread
the sweat in the liner for greater
surface area and quicker drying.
The market, at least in our opinion,
has come to strongly prefer our
moisture management concepts.
This position paper briefly addresses
competitive Demo #1 –
The bucket dunk test. Then it offers
considerable detail on controlled
testing that, we feel clearly repudiates
the claims advanced reportedly
by the one competitor in their new
Demo #2 – Hot plates and single
layer uncontrolled testing.
If you have a customer that has had
this testing done, allow us to come
out (or bring them to Dayton) with
controlled laboratory testing of all
layers using accepted test protocols
and comparable materials.
Please contact our Customer
Service Department for a copy of
this position paper.

Sweat Management and
the Wet vs. “Dry”
Thermal Liner Debate
One of our competitors is putting an
anti-wick finish on their liners. It would
be easy to treat our liner with water
repellent as we do the outer shell, might
even make a nifty bucket dunk demo, but
it would not serve your best interests.
Use your common sense...don’t be
fooled!
You ARE going to sweat...a liner in
your bunker gear that doesn’t absorb
moisture leaves that stressful sweat (and
the heat it carries) on your skin...AND it
means you stay wet longer!
Think About It:
• When you’re hot and sweaty, would
you rather have an absorbent towel
to dry off with or a non-absorbent
plastic wrap that will keep that heat
and moisture ON your skin?
• The more sweat directly on your body,
the more stress and fatigue you will
experience through heat re-absorption.
• If you’re an aggressive firefighter, the
sweat is going to be there – you can
79
✔ Towel
X

sweating!!!
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
Material Choices
choose how to manage that sweat
(the sweat still contains part of the heat
it took out of the body).
1. By keeping it concentrated on your
skin by wearing non-absorptive
garments (plastic wrap “dry” liners)
– or –
2. By wicking it away from your body,
increasing the moisture surface
area, and spreading it out within
your system for faster evaporation
(wicking “towel” liners).
Don’t be fooled by claims that your system
becomes much heavier if it absorbs
your sweat (especially if the “proof” involves
submerging your garments in
water)…the same sweat is going to be
there either way – on your body or
in the gear. Total weight will not change
and a non-absorbent liner can delay
drying time since sweat stays pooled
near the skin. An absorbent liner
spreads the sweat moisture out for
quicker drying. For further discussion,
ask for our Common Sense is Hard to
Argue Against position paper.
So, All Aggressive
Firefighters Sweat...
How You Manage that Sweat
is YOUR Choice!
Wicking Ability
Sweat is the prime mechanism that the
human body uses to dissipate excess
heat (i.e. psysiological stress is measured
by heat buildup or core temperature
within the body). It is critical to effective
stress management that sweat and the
heat it still carries be absorbed or ventilated
off the skin as soon as possible.
When sweat is left to lie on the skin,
perhaps because the thermal liner is
non-absorptive, the heat energy it
carries is stressfully recycled back into
the firefighter’s body. Some firms are
Table of Contents
marketing non-absorptive liners with the
argument that “the suit stays lighter
without water pickup.” It is easy to make
a non-absorptive liner; commercial
finishes are readily available. But it is
important to remember that the firefighter
is still sweating, a non-absorptive liner
does not make the load lighter (the water
is still there, but on the skin or on the
station uniform where it is easier for the
heat it carries to be recycled
stressfully back into the body).
Drying Ability
The perfect liner is one that is highly
wickable (to remove the heat, carrying
sweat off the firefighter’s skin) BUT quick
drying (that is how to truly make the
whole system light and without stressing
the firefighter). Some of the spunlaced
fill liners (Nomex ® /2 layers E89 xx4x,
Protective Comfort ® xxEx, Meta Aramid/2
layer Spunlace xx1x) are among the best
in that regard. The spunfill spreads the
moisture as it absorbs it, and increases
the surface area of the moisture which
facilitates evaporative drying (consider
how much more quickly a puddle on the
station floor dries when it is spread over
a large area with a squeegee). These
particular liners are also thin, highly
breathable and work well with our Dead
Air/Extended Dead Air Panel systems.
The new xxNx one layer liner also seems
to offer excellent dry properties.
Summary
Non-wicking liners stay dry (but do not
reduce overall system wetness) by
leaving stressful heat carrying sweat on
the body or station uniform and should
be avoided. Also, since they do not
spread moisture for facilitated evaporative
drying, these liners also often mean
the over-all system stays wetter longer.
For the reasons discussed above, all
Morning Pride liners are treated with
Wickwell to move moisture off the skin to
facilitate drying.

Nomex ® E89
Nomex ® E89 – This liner system is
available in a number of lay ups and has
proven to be one of our most popular
systems. Nomex ® E89 appears to be the
liner of choice for metro departments. It
is light, wicks up sweat well and dries
quickly. It is low bulk, so movement is
facilitated. While this is not one of the
very lightest liners, customers may wish
to consider dead air paneling systems to
beef up its insulative capabilities.

Nomex ® Semi-slick
Nomex Semi-slick – These Caldura ®
(xx1x, xx4x, xx6x, xxCx and xxYx) and
Glide II ® (xxGx and xxMx) liners attempt
to balance a blend of slick or filament
yarns with woven yarns. The goal is to
preserve the easy movement of the
slicker materials while avoiding their
problem of minimized moisture pickup
(which can lead to a clammy, stressful
liner feel against the body once sweating
begins). Glide II ® Thermal Liners (xxGx

appeal to customers that currently
utilize Nomex ® Semi-slick/Batt Light

Technical Rescue and
Recovery and EMS
Thermal Lining Options
While Structural BPR, LTO and TAC, as
well as Proximity BPR and LTO Operational
Models feature three layer (outer
shell, moisture barrier and thermal liner)
construction, Technical Rescue and
Recovery and EMS model garments are
standard two-layer products (outer shell
moisture barrier and no thermal liner). As
such, the 3rd space in the model number
is always x [no thermal liner]). Fleece
vested winter liners are available but can
only be attached via a zipper (Structural
BPR and LTO, as well as Proximity BPR
and LTO Winter Liners attach via snap
buttons). Non-zipper alternative attachment
methods can abuse the moisture
barrier during the grueling, EMS NFPA
1999 25 cycle wash pre-conditioning
(both the Technical Rescue and Recovery
and EMS garment families meet the EMS
Standard). Many first responders will
utilize sweaters, heavy slacks, thermal
underwear, etc. rather than Winter
Liners, so we did not standardize the
expense of a half zipper on all Technical
Rescue and Recovery and EMS
garments. If you feel you may want a
Winter Liner in the future but are not
ordering one when you order your
Technical Rescue and Recovery or EMS
garment new, we strongly suggest you
order a Winter Liner adaption strip
in your new garment (to allow easy zip in
of a potential future liner, as it is VERY
expensive to add a zipper later after the
coat is made). If you order a Winter Liner
when ordering the new garment, the
zipper to accommodate the winter liner’s
use will of course be automatically
provided (and included in the price of the
Winter Liner). Please see the winter liner
discussion on page 94 for further details.
Moisture Barrier
Discussion
(Listed Alphabetically)
While we do not recommend any particular
outer shell or liner material as the best
choice for all customers, we DO recom-
mend the improved Crosstech ® barrier as
the moisture barrier of choice (it offers
such significant advantages and is a field
proven technology) to ALL our customers.
While slightly more expensive than alternative
moisture barriers, the Crosstech ®
barrier product offers compellingly better
properties and, with its comparatively
better durability, is almost assuredly a
lower life cycle cost product than
products of lower initial cost (but with less
durability).
As this catalog went to print, manufacturers
were still in the process of responding
to the manufacturer of BreatheTex
advising of “BreatheTex degradation in
the field…which is not visually obvious.”
Morning Pride has advised, since
BreatheTex was introduced, that we
had concerns about its durability and/or
thermal resistance and recommended it
not be used for fire fighting applications.
Nonetheless, we have initiated a full recall
of all BreatheTex products. If you are
using a BreatheTex equipped garment
(barrier or facings, please read to the
right), we suggest you contact your garment
manufacturer for information. The
myth that ALL barriers are fragile (since
BreatheTex was) is not supported by our
excellent field results with other barriers
(most notably Crosstech ® ) and may be an
attempt to justify a decision by some of
our competitors to not recall their
BreatheTex liners (i.e.“all barriers are
fragile so BreatheTex failures are not
unique and do not warrant recall!”). In our
experience, the outer shells will require
far more maintenance than the barriers
(and are the composite element that
limits life, NOT the barrier).
NFPA standards require full circumferential
moisture barrier protection, which
most often requires the use of moisture
barrier facings at closure areas. The
facings can account for as much as 20%
of the barrier’s defensive shield. It is
Morning Pride’s policy to use the more
expensive Crosstech ® facings in these
critical high wear areas when Crosstech ®
barriers are specified. In contrast, the
majority of our competitors substitute less
expensive barriers in the critical facings
Table of Contents
area even when customers spec and
pay for the more expensive, more fully
featured Crosstech ® barrier product.
During the recent Breathetex degradation
problems, many manufacturers did not
even advise customers who had ordered
and paid for Crosstech ® that they had
substituted BreatheTex in the facings.
When Crosstech ® is not specified,
Morning Pride will use Crosstech ® or
Gore’s new PTFE on Basofil ® blend
barriers for the facings areas. We do
reserve the right to modify this standard
practice on open spec bids (please see
notes at end of the Moisture Barrier
discussion).
Two NFPA Breathability
Studies
There were two major studies done
prior to the 2000 edition of NFPA
1971. One was sponsored by the
IAFF (The Indianapolis Breathability
Study) and the other was
sponsored by a number of firms
(many of them opposed to imposing
breathability requirements in
the Standard) through the NFPA
Research Foundation.The Indy
Study used firefighter vocational
movement patterns and radio, real
time telemetry.The Research Foundation
Study was more traditional
treadmill work but at differing
temperatures and workloads. Both
studies (the Indy Study most
clearly, but supported as well in
many ways by the Research
Foundation’s Study) showed that
a relationship DID exist between
system breathability and physiological
stress dissipation. Because
of these studies, the breathability
requirement was introduced in the
2000 edition of NFPA 1971. One
competitor has selectively quoted
from these studies to imply THE
OPPOSITE: that there is no such
relationship (we believe because
their filament systems tend to do
poorly in breathability testing, in
our experience). If you come
across this type of erroneous
representation, please refer to the
IAFF Office of Occupational
Safety and Health.

Chempak ®
GORE CHEMPAK ® Selectively Permeable

moisture barrier product from W. L. Gore.
GORE CHEMPAK ® is the only barrier
(at time of catalog printing) available in
the market today that is Component
recognized to the NFPA 1971 CBRN
option. GORE CHEMPAK ® Selectively
Permeable moisture barrier fabric is a
unique, non carbon based laminate that
is both liquid-proof and air-impermeable,
which protects the user against both
liquid, aerosol, and vapor Toxic Industrial
Chemicals (TICs) and Chem Bio
challenges. At the same time, the barrier
fabric contributes to total heat loss by
allowing moisture vapor from perspiration
to escape from the garment. GORE
CHEMPAK ® is the only moisture barrier
offered in our CBRN Project HEROES ®
project, and in that composite has proven
more breathable than most non CBRN
composite systems.

Crosstech ®
Material Choices
Crosstech ® – The Crosstech ® (Type
2C), from W.L. Gore, is both the most
breathable and durable moisture barrier
product available today. The enhanced
PTFE-based bicomponent membrane
technology incorporated within the
Crosstech ® moisture barrier improves
upon the already superior performance
capabilities of Gore’s “original”
Crosstech ® moisture barrier. Among the
improvements, the primary benefits to
the user are increased total heat loss
and an overall greater durability – both of
which are still provided in conjunction
with the already superior thermal stability
performance of Gore’s expanded
PTFE Teflon based products. It is
Morning Pride’s position that the
Crosstech ® moisture barrier is the
preeminent moisture barrier available
today. While we do not recommend any
particular outer shell or liner material as
the best choice for all customers, we DO
recommend the improved Crosstech ®
barrier as the moisture barrier of choice
(it offers such significant and field proven
advantages) to ALL our customers.
While slightly more expensive than alternative
moisture barriers, the Crosstech ®
barrier product offers compellingly better
properties and, with its comparatively
better durability, is almost assuredly a
lower life cycle cost product than
products of lower initial cost (but with
less durability).
There are now 2 Crosstech ® barriers
available:
1. A newer 3-layer product Type 4A (our
model xxxT)
2. The 2-layer Type 2C (our model xxx2)
The 3-layer Crosstech ® product works
exceptionally well with the new lighter
liners such as the Quantum 3D Feather
Weight (xxLx). The 3-layer product is a
little more insulative and a little less
breathable than the 2-layer Crosstech ®
product. But, when it is mated with a less
insulative and more breathable liner like
Table of Contents
the xxLx, the overall composite characteristics
are relatively unchanged, and
the moisture barrier picks up a 5 year
wear life warranty.

This alternative product is intended as a

to NFPA compliant polyurethane

superior product benefit advantages of
the Crosstech ® moisture barrier. While
the Crosstech ® moisture barrier,
discussed above, continues to be the
market’s premier moisture barrier for excellent
performance, not all departments
are able to justify the slightly higher
investment. The Gore RT7100 ® moisture
barrier was specifically designed to meet
the demands and cost considerations
of many in the fire service. Its thermal

performance is unmatched in its price
range.
W. L. Gore/Morning Pride
Wear Warranties
This newly expanded program is subject
to these clarifications:
• 3-layer Crosstech ® (xxxT) moisture
barriers will be covered for the first
5 years after their date of manufacture
(pin hole repairs are too numerous to
be effectively practical).
• 2-layer Crosstech ® (xxx2) or RT7100
(xxx0) moisture barriers will be covered
for the first 3 years after their date of
manufacture if necessary (pin hole
repairs are too numerous to be
effectively practical).
• 3-layer Chempak ® (xxxH) moisture
barriers will be covered for the first
5 years after their date of manufacture
(pin hole repairs are too numerous to
be effectively practical)
• The coverage is retroactive to 2-layer
moisture barrier garments manufactured
on April 1, 2005, or later (and to
all 3 layer moisture barrier garments
since none of them are yet 5 years old).
• Warranty moisture barrier repairs will
always be done in the most economical
way possible. This means reasonable
amounts of patching will be done
before the barrier is fully replaced. The
determination as to whether patching
will produce a practical, reliable repair
must rest solely with our PPE Cleaning
and Care staff.
Table of Contents
Moisture Barrier Notes for
Structural and
Proximity Garments
• Morning Pride Crosstech ® and RT7100
equipped garments are provided with
extra thermal liner layers at the knees
and elbows on a standard basis.
Customers should also be aware that
the moisture barrier substrate, to which
the film is applied, faces to the exterior
of the moisture barrier/liner assembly
when the garment is shipped (so the
film is to the interior where it is
protected). This is in contrast to older
Neoprene systems where the Neoprene
faced to the exterior and the
substrate faced to the interior.
• Morning Pride’s standard practice is to
construct the pathogen shield facings
(patented and patent pending) from
breathable moisture barrier material
when a breathable moisture barrier is
specified. Some of our competitors
utilize much less expensive, nonbreathing,
barrier material at the
facings (that is, bloodborne pathogen
certified Neoprene type systems). For
this reason, Morning Pride reserves
the right to substitute non-breathing
barrier material at the facings on bids
that specify breathable barriers, but do
not specify the barrier facing material
(failure to do so would guarantee our
bid price would be out of the ballpark,
since others are making the substitution
on a standard basis). Morning
Pride generated specs will require
breathable moisture barrier panels at
the closure facings of all breathable
garments. Besides the stressful characteristics
of non-breathing products,
they are significantly heavier than the
breathable products. For instance,
substituting non-breathable facing
panels for breathable ones on a size
40 coat adds 6 extra ounces. Also,
some recent testing suggests that
Neoprene based systems are not as
durable after cleaning/drying or even
simple use as the breathable
technologies.

a “slit” or “vented” moisture barrier in

feel this “vented feature” circumvents
the intent of the NFPA 1971 moisture
barrier requirements and testing. We

requirements are:
NFPA 1971, 2007 Edition, Section

Morning Pride Clothing
For Structural or
Proximity Clothing
First
Determine the prefix for your product
number. All Morning Pride Structural
and Proximity clothing begins with either
BPR, LTO or TAC based on the level of
bloodborne pathogen resistant certification
testing desired (for comparative
photos of BPR and shower testing,
please see page 17).
PRH – (Bloodborne Pathogen
Resistant) will prefix your product
number if you wish to order
garments that meet the CBRN
option of NFPA 1971, as well as
being certified to pass NFPA 1971
bloodborne pathogen resistance
shower testing as worn (i.e.
including interface areas with other
BPR products). At time of catalog
printing, Morning Pride was the only
firm to offer such fully integrated, full
body systems for both/either class
of certification.
BPR – (Bloodborne Pathogen
Resistant)
will prefix your product number if
you wish to order garments that
have been certified to pass NFPA
1971 bloodborne pathogen
resistance shower testing as worn
(i.e. including interface areas with
other BPR products). At time of
catalog printing, Morning Pride
was the only firm to offer such fully
integrated, full body systems.
LTO – (Limb and Torso Only)
will prefix your product number if
you wish to order garments that
were NOT tested for bloodborne
pathogen resistance at interface
areas (in fact, Limb and Torso Only
protective products are tested
TAPED to the test mannikin at neck
and wrists). At time of catalog
printing, our competitors were only
Choosing the Correct Product Number
able to offer LTO levels of protection.
Morning Pride, however, strongly
recommends the use of integrated
and interface-capable BPR clothing
and equipment since a bloodborne
pathogen firefighter contamination
would be as tragic whether it
occurred through an interface area
or through the garment (and no
firefighters that we know of wear
their garments taped to their bodies
at interface areas).
TAC – (Limb and Torso Only)
will prefix your product number if
you wish to order garments that are
NOT certified for bloodborne
pathogen resistant characteristics
(neither interface nor non-interface
capable) at interface areas (please
see full LTO discussion above).
TAC garments are also reversible;
please see full TAC discussion on
pages 26 and 27.
Second
Determine the four digit material
designation that follows the prefix using
the charts that follow this page. Please
consult material discussions on pages
67-94 for important background information
on each material before finalizing
your choices. From the first column, pick
one outer shell choice from the options
available to determine the first two digits.
From the second column, pick one
thermal liner choice from the options
available to determine the third digit.
From the third column, pick one moisture
barrier choice to determine the fourth
digit.
Third
Designate the style of garment as Tails ,
Coats or Pants.
Fourth
Check price list to verify composite
selected has passed composite testing
(if not, contact our Customer Service
Department for assistance).

Footnotes, All Charts
1. This material, when used with other
layers that are also footnoted (1), will
allow a composite system that can be
certified to the 2007 edition of NFPA
1971 for Structural Fire Fighting
Protective Garment Elements, if
appropriate trim is also specified
(please see catalog pages 95-98).
If all materials chosen are footnoted
(1) and you specify appropriate trim,
your garment will automatically
feature NFPA certification labeling.
Please see discussion of NFPA 1971
in the Honeywell First Responder
Products Reference Guide for further
details.
2. This material, when used with other
layers that are also footnoted (2), will
allow a composite system that can be
certified to meet NFPA 1971 for
Proximity Fire Fighting Protective
Garment Elements. If all materials
chosen are footnoted (2), your
garment will automatically feature
NFPA certification labeling. Please
see discussion of NFPA 1971 in the
Honeywell First Responder Products
Reference Guide for further details.
3. This material, when used with other
layers that are also footnoted (3), will
allow a composite system that can be
certified to meet Project FIRES-Final
Report, if required trim is also
specified (please see pages 95-98)
and the following custom options are
noted on your order:
• Project FIRES labeling
• traditional (i.e. non-bibbed) waist
high pants with either Tails or
35” nominal coat
• and a long wristlet (which is
standard on our BPR
coats/Tails).

4. Canadian General Standards Board –
Nearly all Morning Pride composites
are certified to CGSB 155.1
(2001). CGSB 155.1 (2001) includes
many requirements that are identical
to NFPA 1971, 2007 Edition, for
Structural Fire Fighting Protective
Ensembles, however, there are some
key differences (see the Honeywell
First Responder Products Reference
Guide for a description of these
differences). For a full discussion of
the CGSB (and BNQ) requirements,
please refer to those sections of
the Honeywell First Responder
Products Reference Guide.
5. This material, when used with other
layers that are also footnoted (5), will
allow a composite system that can be
certified to the CEN standard, if the
following custom options are noted on
your order:
• CEN labeling
• 32”/35” Tails (when Tails are
ordered)
• and a flapped waistband liner
attachment (when pants are
ordered).
It is not a Standard requirement, but
many CEN specifiers also prefer
reversed garment closure and
tapered pants legs. Finally, many CEN
specifiers wish to reduce either/both
weight and cost from their garments;
a list of such options is provided in
our price list. Customers are
cautioned that CEN insulation and
other requirements are lower than
those of the other Standards
discussed on this page, so many CEN
certifiable materials may NOT be
used in other systems. Please see
discussion of CEN garments in the
Honeywell First Responder
Products Reference Guide for further
details.
Table of Contents
6. This material, when used with other
layers that are also footnoted (6), will
allow a composite system that is
triple, dual or single certified to NFPA
1999 to ensure bloodborne pathogen
resistance testing has occurred.
7. 6 oz shells offer strong, anti-stress
advantages but less durability
(especially in pants). Customers are
encouraged to weigh their relative
needs for stress management - vs -
durability.
8. Field testing has shown, under some
conditions, this very lightweight system
may exhibit unusually short alarm
times (as compared to other more
traditional systems). It is STRONGLY
recommended that this liner be ordered
with Dead Air Paneling – expanded
placement (pages 133-137), to retain
stress reducing lightness while
maximizing alarm times. Alarm time is
the time between first pain recognition
and second degree burns. Maximum
alarm time gives the firefighter more
time to alter the environment to avoid
burns.
9. Southern Mills, manufacturer of this
product, recommends this layer not be
used with 6 oz outer shells because of
barely compliant NFPA TPP levels
(with some moisture barriers). You
may request a summary of system
composite TPP from our Customer
Service Department for further details
on how moisture barrier choice affects
total insulation TPP provided.

Winter Liner Options
For Structural PRH, BPR
and LTO, as well as
Proximity PRH, BPR and
LTO Garments
We recommend our 10 oz Black Nomex ®
fleece vests (no sleeves; ends just below
the waist). You may request custom
quotations on any other materials used
in our FR thermal liners, but the Nomex ®
fleece offers great warmth, flexibility,
excellent moisture management properties
and is lightweight. It is the winter
liner of choice. You may also request
custom quotes on full liners, not just
vests, but they add considerable cost
and the vest systems seem to deliver
almost as much warmth with much
better flexibility. Vests are chosen ten
times as often as winter liners by our
customers. Pant winter liners may also
be custom quoted, but are usually not
utilized, since the extra warmth of a
winter liner seems most needed in the
coat garment area. In these families of
garments, winter liners will snap in via
MIL spec glove snaps for easy in and out
removability.
For Structural TAC and
Wildland Garments
We do not recommend a winter liner in
these garments as it vastly complicates
reversibility in TAC garments. For Wildland,
over garments work better in the
slim fitting designs.
For Technical Rescue and
Recovery and EMS
Garments
We recommend our 10 oz Black Nomex ®
fleece vests for the Technical Rescue
and Recovery and the FR EMS families
for the same reasons discussed in the
first paragraph above.
For the non-FR EMS family of garments,
we recommend our 10 oz Navy Blue
polar fleece vests, again for the same
reasons noted above. Thinsulate nylon
liners are also a good choice, especially
in pants where the smoother surface
makes donning easier. The thinsulate
liners are also highly insulative and
weigh 8.4 oz. The quilt stitch nylon
product is Red on the side facing the
body and Royal Blue on the other side.
If you are not ordering a Winter Liner
with your new Technical Rescue and
Recovery or EMS gear but may want
one in the future...
It is important to remember that
Technical Rescue and Recovery and
EMS garments are standard two-layer
products (outer shell and moisture
barrier, no thermal liner). While winter
liners are available, they can only be
attached via a zipper. Non-zipper
alternative attachment methods (such as
snaps used in the Structural BPR and
LTO, as well as Proximity BPR and LTO
families) can abuse the moisture barrier
during the grueling, EMS NFPA 1999 25
cycle wash pre-conditioning (both the
Technical Rescue and Recovery and
EMS garment families meet the EMS
Standard). Many first responders will
utilize sweaters, heavy slacks, thermal
underwear, etc. under these garments
rather than winter liners; so we did not
standardize the expense of a zipper
winter liner adaption strip on all
Technical Rescue and Recovery and
EMS garments. If you feel you may want
a winter liner in the future but are not
ordering one when you order your
Technical Rescue and Recovery or EMS
garment new, we strongly suggest you
order a half zipper in your new garment
(to allow easy zip in of a potential future
liner, as it is VERY expensive to add a
zipper later, after the coat is made). If
you order a winter liner when ordering
the new garment, the zipper to accommodate
the winter liner’s use will of
course automatically be provided (and
the cost is included).
Table of Contents
NOTES: Coats and Tails may be
ordered with either vest style or
sleeved winter liner systems,
which end just below the waist.
Pants winter liners extend to the
cuff. All Structural and Proximity
winter liners attach and detach
easily from the main garment via
MIL spec glove snaps. Technical
Rescue and Recovery and EMS
winter liners are zippered in and
out. Please consult the price list
for further details.

Reflexite ®
Since 1986, Reflexite ® has offered
brighter products employing prisms as
their reflective elements. Advantages of
Reflexite ® include ease of cleaning,
ability to reflect equally well wet or dry
and resistance to abrasion of the reflective
elements. Disadvantages include a
relatively low melting point (300º F
approximately) and loss of reflectivity
after high heat exposures. Reflexite ®
is available in 2” or 3” widths in White
(EMS only) or Fluorescent Lime.
Reflexite ® has a 150 coefficient of
reflectivity.
3M Scotchlite
The surface is composed of exposed,
wide-angle retroreflective lenses bonded
to a durable flame resistant 100% cotton
backing. Advantages include higher

heat resistance than Reflexite ® products.
Disadvantages include a slightly lower
reflectivity when wet and minor bead
abrasion when exposed to extreme
conditions over time. Unlike Reflexite ® ,
3M Scotchlite Reflective Material reflects
light back in a silver color (not the
trim color). The four colors are available
in 2” or 3” widths. Solid Silver – 500
candlepower (EMS only), White –
100 candlepower (EMS only), and
fluorescent Red/Orange or Lime/Yellow –
175 candlepower. (Candlepower is the
coefficient of retroreflectivity as stated in
cd/lux/m2 ).
3M Scotchlite – Two Tone
The reflective surface is composed of
wide-angle, exposed retroreflective
lenses integrally centered with the
fluorescent color and bonded with a
special polymer layer to an aramid backing.
It is available in 3” Lime/Yellow or
Red/Orange. This product offers the
highest heat resistance (500° F) of any
trim product. As a one-piece integrated

Glo-Flex ®
These White (light greenish) and Lime
Two Tone products are both reflective
and photoluminescent (it glows in the

A Discussion of Burns
Under Trim and
Patented Fixes
Morning Pride garments feature, as a
standard, Dead Air Trim at the interior
coat and pants cuff areas where burns
under trim and seam abrasion can occur.
Additional full circumferential bands and
/or extended Dead Air line can be
custom optioned to provide further
protection.
Background on the Issue
In 1994, a Winnipeg firefighter sustained
serious third degree burns to his forearms.
As the photo shows, his burns clearly
matched the area of his turnout gear
where reflective trim was placed. At the
time, the only insulative requirements in
the NFPA 1971 on protective clothing
and equipment for Structural fire
fighting was the TPP (thermal protective
performance) test which recreated
flashover conditions. Interestingly, the
one part of the sleeve that offered the
highest TPP was the area covered by
the extra layer of trim or exactly the one
area where the Winnipeg firefighter was
burnt (see annotated photo to the right).
The Winnipeg injuries sparked a multiyear
discussion, within the NFPA
process and the fire service in general,
on the type of burns that were occurring
through NFPA certified gear. While
relatively few in number, any burns
through a certified system suggested
there were areas to potentially improve
the protective products.
As we all know and was discussed
during this time, human skin burns are a
function of time and temperature. We
can pass our hands through the flame of
a candle (approximately 1000°F/538°C
to 1200°F/649°C) without burn injury, if
we move quickly enough. However, if we
lay outside in much lower 90°F/32°C
heat for hours, we will sustain a burn.
Burns occur as the consequence of heat

transfer to the skin at a rate greater than
the body’s ability to dissipate that heat.
We know that if the skin (100 microns
below its surface):
• reaches 111°F/44°C, the average
individual will feel pain;
• if the sub-dermal skin reaches
119°F/48°C, the average individual will
receive a 1 st degree burn;
• if that sub-dermal temperature reaches
131°F/55°C, a 2 nd degree burn will
occur;
• and if a sub-dermal temperature of
161°F/72°C is reached, the average
individual will receive a 3 rd degree
burn.
We have also learned over the years that
heat transfer can occur in three ways:
• Conduction – Occurs through contact
with a hot surface. Compression of
clothing can increase the rate of heat
transfer through materials. The hot
surface could be a super heated floor
or wall, or it could be a hot liquid or
gas that moved into the system.
• Convection – Occurs on the fireground
primarily from the movement of
hot air, gasses and liquids across the
clothing and equipment surfaces.
• Thermal Radiation – Involves the
direct transfer of energy from a hot,
radiating source, such as a fire to
the clothing.
Much of the
discussion
following the
Winnipeg injury
focused on how
the burns could
have occurred
ONLY where the
TPP was the
highest on the
sleeve. The TPP
test, as noted
above, recreates flashover conditions,
specifically a 2.0 calorie load 1 (approximately
15% or 0.3 cal/cm 2 sec as radiant

cal/cm 2 sec as convective heat – none of
the heat energy involves conductive
heat exposure). The TPP test does not
really measure conductive insulation.
Originally, we had presumed that a worst
case, TPP like, flashover exposure would
be a good predictor of comparative
system performance under all burn
conditions (including conductive, lower
heat flux, longer exposure heat loads).
The Winnipeg burn, however, indicated
that this was not universally the case.
Further, research isolated that characteristics
of the material, including its
density, thermal conductivity, and heat
capacity, have a significant impact on
how that material transfers heat.
• Density is a measurement of how
heavy material is for a given volume. It
is expressed as weight per volume.
Therefore, a higher density for a
material indicates one that is heavier
for the same volume as compared to
another material.
• Thermal conductivity is the property of
a material that expresses the amount
of heat that will flow through the material
when exposed to a higher temperature
on one side of the material.
1 Heat energies are expressed in units of calories, a measure of total heat that are exposed to a given surface area (square centimeters) of clothing over
a given time (seconds). A 2.0 cal/cm 2 sec load is considered to be representative of the energy levels experienced in a flashover condition.

It is similar in principle to electrical
conductivity, so that good insulators to
heat will have low thermal conductivities,
while materials with high thermal
conductivities are consid-ered conductors
(such as metals) and may transmit
heat more readily.
• Heat capacity refers to the amount of
heat that is required to raise the temperature
of a given amount of material.
Normally, specific heat capacity is used
in determining heat transfer of materials
and is defined as the specific heat
energy that is required to raise a
specific mass (weight) of material by
one degree of temperature. Heat
capacity also is an indication of a
material’s ability to store heat.
These three material properties can also
be interrelated to explain how a material
will conduct heat. A material’s thermal
conductivity divided by the
product of its density and
specific heat capacity is
known as ‘thermal diffusivity.’
Thermal diffusivity is a
property of materials that
indicates how heat moves
through the material. Although
it is a combination
of three separate material

their divergent thermal diffusivity.
properties, it portrays a distinct material
response to changing heat conditions. In
contrast, a material’s thermal conductivity
relates only to steady-state or unchanging
conditions. Materials with high thermal
diffusivity will rapidly adjust their
temperature to that of surroundings,
because they conduct heat quickly in
comparison to their thermal ‘bulk.’ This
means that a material with high thermal
diffusivity is more likely to become hot
when exposed to high heat.
To illustrate the powerful impact of this
concept, consider a piece of cotton and a
piece of stainless steel left side-by-side
in the sun on a hot summer day for several
hours. The cotton may be warm to
the touch, but the steel could literally
burn you. Both materials had the exact
same thermal loading from the sun, so
why the huge difference? The differences
in material density, thermal
conductivity, and heat capacity are the
answer. The stainless steel has a far
higher density and thermal conductivity
than the cotton, and hence, will become
much hotter and transmit more heat with
the exact same heat exposure. Moreover,
there is a substantial difference in the
thermal diffusivity of the two materials.
The table to the below shows some of
the important heat transfer properties
of cotton, steel, and other common
materials.
We began to realize that while density,
thermal diffusivity and other heat transfer
factors are less important in flashover
conditions, since the heat flux is extremely
high over a relatively short time
period to transfer heat through any similar
material (regardless of its density), it
might be a significant component for ex-

plaining the potential for burn injury in
lower heat flux, longer duration exposures
where the differing properties of
materials to store and transmit heat could
play a key role in the amount of heat
available to penetrate the protective
envelope.
To address these lower heat fluxes
and longer durations, the NFPA 1971
Standard on Protective Ensembles for
Structural Fire Fighting, in its 2000
Edition, added a Conductive Compressive
Heat Resistance Test (CCHR).
The test is done under both wet and dry
conditions. In the shoulder composite
area, the material system is subjected to
2 pounds per square inch (psi) compressive
load (to recreate the weight of
SCBA). In the knee area, the material
system is subjected to 8 psi compressive
load (to recreate the weight of a fully
geared, kneeling firefighter). Under
either condition, the interior side of the
clothing system must not show a temperature
rise greater than 43°F/24°C in
less than 13.5 seconds, as detected by
a skin-simulant sensor.
How do these concepts
relate to burns under trim?
Since reflective trim has a higher density
and thermal conductivity compared to the
surrounding textiles, the reflective trim
can store and accumulate more heat,
whereas the other textiles are able to
dissipate that heat more effectively. When
the stored energy in these materials
(acting as a ‘heat sink’) then comes in
contact with the skin through contact or
compression, the ensuing transfer of this
stored energy into the skin can make the
difference between being burned or not.
This means that even in the areas of the
garment where there is a
higher TPP rating (such as
the parts of the garment
covered by a layer of reflective
trim), burns can occur
under lower heat flux,
longer exposure times than
those represented under
TPP test conditions.

A Discussion of Burns Under Trim and
Patented Fixes Continued…
What is the role of
moisture in these burns?
It is important to explore this question,
since we cannot design the best fix until
we understand correctly any burn
causation. Some have theorized that the
type of burns sustained in Winnipeg
were “steam” burns, resulting from
moisture trapped under the non-permeable
trim being forced back into the
system. An original study even supported
this position, but the conclusions
of this study were not accepted by the
majority of the fire service industry, and
a subsequent peer review process found
several important shortcomings of the
study that included the use of inappropriate
temperature sensing techniques and
improper application of burn threshold
temperatures.
There are clearly three powerful
arguments that would indicate burns
under trim are NOT steam related:
Argument #1 against “steam” being
the causative factor in burns under
trim – clear delineation of burns.
As the Winnipeg firefighter’s plastic surgeon
points out, the areas of skin burn
injury are distinct compared to uninjured
skin and can be related to the position of
the reflective trim on the garment. There
is no “fade-out” of decreasing burns as
would occur with gradually dissipating
steam. This is characteristic of most
burns we have seen under trim and
provides a stronger argument for a “heat
sink” burn mechanism, which would
abate sharply as the higher density
material ends.
Argument #2 against “steam” being
the causative factor in burns under
trim – most burns under trim
occurred in dry conditions. We have
tried very hard to interview firefighters in
depth who have sustained burns under
trim (or other higher density materials
such as Neoprene patches, etc.), and
the overwhelming majority of those burnt
in those conditions were dry (see chart
above), including the Winnipeg firefighter.

Trim Options
Clear Delineation of
Burns
Argument #3 against “steam” being
the causative factor in burns under
trim – scald precedes steam.
Steam forms at 212°F/100°C. As we
discussed above, second degree burn
injuries will take place when sub-dermal
skin temperature rises to 131°F/55°C.
This implies that almost all burns attributed
to steam exposure are actually
scald burns, which would occur earlier.
In addition, this points to the penetration
of heat (which can cause scald injury),
not steam, into the system as the most
compelling design goal. A denser material
with greater heat capacity can hold
and conduct heat that can contribute
much more directly to potential for burns,
rather than through the formation of
steam.
So what is the probable
burn mechanism under
higher density materials
such as trim, if it is not
steam?
It is almost certainly the “heat sink” effect
under higher density materials that
causes burns.
What does that suggest as a
design fix?
This suggests that anything that would
mitigate the effects of dense materials,
or lower their thermal conductivity, would
be a powerful tool in reducing conductive
heat transfer.

NFPA change helps address this
issue. In the 2007 edition of NFPA 1971,
coat cuff trim was moved down to begin
within 2” of the sleeve cuff. This tends to
place the trim over the insulating wristlet
and waterwell.
Other custom options also available.
These photos show our Dead Air Trim
(patented and patent pending), which is
available as a low cost option on Morning
Pride coats and pants. The Dead Air
Trim captures air to lower the overall
density of the trim area.
From the exterior it is hard to tell that
Dead Air Trim is even in place, so there is
a good visual match to existing
garments. Existing garments can also be
efficiently retrofitted with the Dead Air
Trim product wherever desired.

What are the competitive
design fixes for this issue?
As a patented and patent pending product,
the Dead Air Trim product is only
available from Morning Pride. However,
one competitor has re-introduced a
“Steam Release” trim product to address
this issue (they first presented the idea
to their dealers in 1996 or 1997, but
the concept never received market
acceptance).
As shown to the right, our competitor
simply is putting holes in the 3M trim
product apparently under the assumption
that steam is the cause of burns
under trim. As discussed previously, we
feel strongly that multiple pieces of
evidence argue against steam being the
single factor causing burns. Moreover,
the competitor’s statement that energy
takes the path of least resistance in
transferring heat through the perforations
of the trim is simply a misrepresentation
of fundamental science. Heat transfer
occurs faster through conduction where
there is solid to solid contact. We feel the
burns, the research and pure thermodynamics
all argue strongly that these
burns are caused by the “heat sink”
effects of more dense materials.
How does Dead Air Trim
perform versus “Steam
Release Trim?”
Further, our testing proves Dead Air Trim
performs better than “Steam Release
Trim” under essentially all conditions
where burn injury is possible, and
usually offers even more improvements
in alarm time (the difference in time
between the onset of pain and
occurrence of 2nd degree burns; the
alarm time defines the firefighter’s ability
to avoid burn injury once pain is felt).
Our competitor shows only one chart on
their flyer reporting on only one test
condition. The one condition shown is a
0.5 cal/cm 2 sec radiant heat source.
Even more interestingly, our competitor
chose to modify the TPP test apparatus
and procedures (usually used for NFPA
flashover testing conditions) to deliver
only radiant heat, rather than to use the
established NFPA
radiant test protocols
(the “RPP”
tests) that are
based on a standardized
ASTM
method.
In contrast, our
testing involved:
• established NFPA
radiant RPP
testing protocols
based on the
ASTM F1939
test method.
• different heat

energies of 0.1,
0.5 and
1.0 cal/cm 2 sec.

conditions (for
use in comparing

thermal loads).
• performing the now standard NFPA
Conductive Compressive Heat
Resistance testing discussed earlier,
since it explores the conductive,
compressive issue directly as the
NFPA, interest-balanced technical
committee felt appropriate.
• TPP testing (as another basis for
comparing sample performance).
The Chart on page 103 (Summary of
Results for Trim Comparison) suggests
some truly interesting comparisons and
observations from our testing:

strong advantages over the perforated

offer advantages over regular trim
and/or regular trim does not out

words, under most conditions and all
conditions where burns are more likely
to occur, the firefighter is either better
protected under the regular trim than
under perforated trim, or already better
protected under regular trim than
under the base composite (so no fix
would be necessary). Of course, in
essentially all cases where burns can

all other options except Extended

Our own testing, from which this data was taken, show even
more clearly:
• The superiority of Dead Air Trim over “Steam Release”
perforated trim in essentially all conditions.
• The relative infrequency of situations where regular trim does
not out perform both or either the “Steam Release” perforated
trim or the composite alone.
Here’s why the 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 cal/cm 2 sec heat loadings were

• The Routine region describes conditions where one or two

radiation range of 0.025 to 0.05 cal/cm 2 sec and by air
temperatures ranging from 68°F/20°C to 140°F/60°C.
Protective clothing for firefighters typically provides protection
under these conditions, but excessively long exposure
times may create a burn injury situation.
• The Ordinary region describes temperatures encountered in
fighting a more serious fire or being next to a “flashover” room.
Ordinary conditions are defined by a thermal range of 0.05 to
0.6 cal/cm 2 sec, representing an air temperature range of
140°F/60°C to 572°F/300°C. Under these conditions, protective
clothing may allow sufficient time to extinguish the fire or to
fight the fire until the nominal air supply is exhausted (usually
less than 30 minutes).
• The Emergency region describes conditions in a severe and
unusual exposure, such as those caused inside a “flashedover”
room or next to a flame front. In Emergency conditions,
the thermal load exceeds 0.6 cal/cm 2 sec and temperatures
exceed 572°F/300°C. In such conditions, the function of
firefighters’ clothing and equipment is simply to provide the
short time needed for an escape without serious injury.
As the chart and discussion above indicates, the heat flux conditions
we chose to test at, replicate low, ordinary to mid-level
emergency fire fighting conditions, thus allowing for a representative
range of reported conditions.
As also discussed previously, burn injuries are both time and
temperature dependent. In the figure above, exposure to thermal
radiation in cal/cm 2 sec is related to the time

What does perforating the
trim do to trim strength?
Our testing indicates a substantial
decrease in trap tear strength when trim
is perforated. As a point of comparison,
NFPA requires outer shell trap tear
strengths of at least 22 pounds per foot
and most outer shells offer 30 pounds
per foot and above of trap tear strength.
The difference between the two
strengths is the difference between an
ordinary person being able to tear the
material or not. Lower tear strength will
mean more frequent physical damage to
trim on the garment requiring more
frequent repairs.
Are there other issues?
There is another key advantage of the
Dead Air Trim design. Since trim is
denser, it “presents” the stitching to the
outside environment. That is why stitch
damage is more of a problem on trim
For more information on this
issue, including detailed graphs
of each test condition results, ask

than on the surrounding textile material
where the stitches can settle in and
embed themselves. One additional key
advantage of the Dead Air Trim concept
is that it simultaneously also shields the
trim stitching from abrasion, since it
effectively moves that stitching into a
valley on each side of the Dead Air
Panel. It is far more effective than even
competitive webbing attempts to “hide”
the trim stitching.
Should we eliminate
reflective trim from
Structural fire fighting gear?
In our opinion, NO! Retroreflective trim
has saved many lives by enhancing
fireground visibility, and products such
as Dead Air Trim can mitigate any “heat
sink” issues with NO offsetting
disadvantage.

this modification?

Is there anything else we
can do to reduce burns
under high density products
like trim?
There are three other things that you
can do:
1. Purchase clothing with adequate
sleeve circumference so compression
is less of an issue. The photo to
the right shows the extra sleeve
circumference standard on the
standard Morning Pride product line.
2. Consider the split trim option that
NFPA 1971 now allows. The
Winnipeg firefighter and his surgeon
feared for both his hands at times,
since the full circumferential pattern
of his burns acted like a tourniquet
blocking effective blood flow to his
hands (all worked out thankfully).
3. Specify that no other high density
materials be utilized in your turnout
gear, which will have the same heat
sink issues as high density trim.
Photo below shows the design of a
competitive wristlet assembly. It is
High Surface Density Neoprene at Close to Body Wrist

Dead Air Trim is not normally required at
the pants cuffs, since the boots provide
significant additive insulation in that
area (shielded interior seams are standard,
however to reduce thread wear).
Similarly, Dead Air Trim is not normally
required at the coat hem, since the overlap
with pants provides significant additional
insulation. Most fire departments will
probably find that coat cuff or sleeve trim
is the typical place for any application of
Dead Air Trim. The chest area is a possibility,
but there is significantly more gap
between skin and outer shell, and that
contributes to insulation. It is not possible
to build large gaps in the coat cuff area, as
doing so would inhibit easy hand motion.
If you require Dead Air Trim quotes for any
other body areas than the above, please
contact your IMA and he/she will have
pricing developed for you.
Remember, unlike Perforated Trim, Dead
Air Trim is almost impossible to visually
detect from regular trim. So, there is no
visual problem with Dead Air Trim utilization
where needed (cuffs or arms) and
regular trim at other garment areas.

Suspendering Technology
Explained:
Dynamic action suspenders feature a
unique floating pivot point action mid
back. During motion, human body
extension is approximately equal BUT
redistributed (i.e. when we bend to the

left our left side contracts but our right
side extends a corresponding amount).
The action mid-back allows the dynamic
action suspendering products to “mimic”
the extension redistribution during motion
of the human body. In this way, motion
is easily permitted without the use of
standard suspenders which must use
elastic primarily to permit motion. As the
discussion of our industry standard suspenders
(on page 109) indicates, there
are numerous problems with these “elastic
reliant” suspenders since they extend
at any time they are stressed (i.e. a firefighter
loads his pockets with heavy
tools, or the bunker pants become heavier
as they get wet). Dynamic action suspenders
extend only at appropriate times
when the body redistributes through mo-
tion; they are not fooled into extending at
inappropriate times (again please see industry
standard suspender discussion
on page 109 for an enumeration of
the problems that occur when suspenders
extend at inappropriate times).
All dynamic action suspender products
are constructed of strong, wide non-elastic
webbing, heavy duty hardware, extra
heavy thread and lock stitching.
Suspender Sizes: Measuring should be
done when wearing bunker pants. Measure
from between the left front suspender
buttons, up and over the left shoulder,
then down and across the back to between
the right rear suspender buttons.

Important Notes: The incredibly positive market reaction to pivot point
suspender technology had led some competitors to offer pivot point
“lookalikes.”These copies cannot, however, offer the action back firm
support WITH FULL MOTION since the floating action pivot back is a
patented product available ONLY through Morning Pride. Thus, these copies
offer the appearance but not the unique functionability that has made the
action back technology suspenders such a success.
The H-back suspender products, also sometimes offered as dynamic action
equivalents, fail to offer the dynamic action’s firm support and unrestricted
motion.; H backs feel good standing still but restrict motion and have a
pronounced tendency to slip off the shoulders.

Traditionally, firefighters’ suspenders
have been constructed of heavy duty
elastic. These suspenders permit easy
motion and are inexpensive.
However, while these are the best elastic
suspenders possible (i.e. premium grade
elastic, lock stitching, etc.) there are
problems INHERENT and unavoidable
with elastic suspenders. The biggest
problem is that elastic extends whenever
it is stressed. Thus, not only do they
extend when they should (firefighter
extension during motion) but also when
they shouldn’t (pants become heavier as
they become water saturated). Extension

Pants slide down as worn resulting in
lowered crotch and upper leg motion
restriction (this often results in crotch rip
out during attempts at ladder climbing/
stepping onto truck, etc.), as well as
frayed cuffs, as suspenders extend and
fail to provide adequate pants support.
Most firehouses are full of elastic
suspenders taped, stapled, sewn, etc. to
address these problems. Once these
adjustments are made, mobility is
severely restricted. Finally, the field life
of elastic suspenders is very short
(typically one year).

previously presented a problem since
normal pants legs are not wide enough
to permit quick donning with a booted
foot. Simply widening the pants legs did
not address the problem since then the
garments were cumbersome to work in
during fire fighting operations.
Working closely with large, leather boot
equipped departments, we developed
this BOOT ACCESS PANTS concept.
BOOT ACCESS PANTS feature widening
inserts on the seam of each leg. These
panels extend from cuff to crotch and
have accommodated up to a 16 EEE
booted firefighter’s foot. After donning the
pants, the firefighter zips up two leg
zippers and the visual appearance of the
pants is identical to standard gear.
Failsafe panels behind these zippers
ensure NFPA level protection even if
zippers are not closed before fire fighting
(or break during fire fighting).

• Imagine...important extra
protection and NO MORE
WET FEET on the

This design feature is an out-growth of
the Project HEROES ® design effort
discussed earlier, but is also available on
non-CBRN gear. The boot-to-pant
interface area is a prime entry point for
the often heavier than air CBRN
contaminates. It is also always a prime
challenge point for the entry of superheated
and/or noxious contaminants.
The integrated boot-to-pant system uses
a “mated” or continuous moisture barrier
between the pants and boots to provide
continuous protection from the waist to
the toe.
This design concept offers important
unique advantages:
• Minimizes lower leg and above boot’s
scald burns from the entry of superheated
liquids and gasses flowing up
the boot outer shell and encountering
bare skin. Super heated liquids and
gasses can almost instantaneously
burn upon skin contact.
• Helps to guarantee dry and, hence,
warmer feet on the fireground.
• Passive, secure toe to waist protective
envelope, no deployment necessary.
• Whatever seals out heat and liquid
also helps seal out the numerous
contaminants on the fireground.

Liner Keeper Strap
Model BI-LK (Patented)
A common fireground
complaint is pants
or pant liners that
ride up over the
boots. This condition
is not only uncomfortable,
but can also
allow a breach in the
protective envelope. To
address this problem,
our Liner Keeper
Strap was developed.
The Strap is
constructed of heavy duty webbing and
adjusts to the circumference of the
particular boot (at the ankle area with
hook and pile tape). Extending from the
webbing circle at the ankle are two
vertical webbing strips (see example
above) that include a series of male and
female snap button pieces at various
heights. These snap button pieces interface
with the hardware on the pants that
unite the pant’s liner to the outer shell.
The Liner Keeper Strap is interfaced to
the pants/boot interface area by snapping
the male snap piece on the liner
into a female snap at the correct height
on the vertical webbing strip of the strap.
A male snap on the reverse side of the
same vertical strip is snapped into a
female snap on the pants’ outer shell.
The result is a secure attachment
between boot and pants that helps
prevent pant ride-up over boots, while
preserving unrestricted air flow and easy
motion. Once adjusted, the Strap may be
released from the boot via the hook and
pile tape to allow laundering with the
pants or a change in boots easily.
The Liner Keeper Strap is available as a
boot custom option.

Waterwells
Waterwells are standard on coats. Some
fire departments also like the same system
at pants cuffs. When worn, the pant
Waterwells are not visible. They extend
beyond the pants when not worn, since
they must be long enough to bridge the
distance from boot to leg moisture barrier,
and when not worn that three dimensional
distance is not replicated.
Waterwells offer three strong comparative
advantages in our opinion when
compared to either our Wick Guard or
the competitor’s Semper Dri:
1. The Waterwell inhibits, not just wicks,
actual flow (in our opinion, a likely
cause of some lower leg burns).
2. The Waterwell is essentially
permanent. Topicals often require
re-application after use.
3. After washing or wetting, even if still
intact...our competitor recommends
the thermal liner be ironed to
re-activate IsoDri characteristics.

Comfort Nomex ® Collar
and Chinstrap
The new Pbi Matrix garments are
becoming more popular. While the
Kevlar ® cabling does improve UV
resistance of undyed natural Pbi and
does improve fabric strength, some have
reported neck and face irritation. In
particular, the Matrix seems to present a
slightly rough surface after laundering or
use. This can happen due to the minute
difference in shrink rates of the spun
versus filament Kevlar ® cables in the
Matrix.
We have developed the Comfort Nomex ®
Collar and Chinstrap. We simply substitute
comfortable black Nomex ® for the
Matrix material on the collar top (looks
excellent on either bronze or black
Matrix). The Comfort Nomex ® Collar and
Chinstrap, when used on natural Matrix,
also helps hide “ring around the collar”
between launderings, and presents a
visual clue that the collar is not up. The
underside of the collar retains the Matrix
performance levels, and the underside of
the collar is what faces the fire with the
chinstrap engaged.

Foldover Comfort
Chinstrap (Patented)
Standard on BPR coats/tails. Firefighter
neck heights and diameters vary widely
by individual. Therefore, it has been
extremely difficult to design the “correct”
width chinstrap. A strap that was perfect
for one individual would be too wide
(uncomfortable) for a second and
too narrow (gaps in protection) for a
third.
Our Foldover Comfort Chinstrap
addresses this problem by incorporating
a neck conforming (and accommodating)
crescent of knit material. The difference
in fireground comfort is truly amazing.

Sliding Adjustable
Chinstrap (Patented)
Proper chinstrap dimensioning is
a difficult bunker clothing design issue
since firefighter neck physiology
changes from individual to individual,
personal fit preference differences, the
dimensioning needed varies as SCBA
face-piece is donned, doffed, etc. We
have developed the new Sliding
Adjustable Chinstrap to address this
issue. The chinstrap basically floats on
the webbing strap used to attach it to the
collar. While the positioning can be
easily adjusted, once a position is
picked, the hook and pile system “locks”
the position in place until further adjustments
are made. The Sliding Adjustable
Chinstrap option can be added to any
Structural BPR or LTO, as well as to any
Proximity BPR or LTO chinstraps.
Photos illustrate the amount of
adjustability.

All Or Nothing Closure
(Patented)
Like certain competitive products, ALL
OR NOTHING allows liner detachability
(for cleaning) but visual notification if a
shell alone is being used.
However, ALL OR NOTHING offers the
ADDITIONAL advantage of PREVENT-
ING garment usage unless the liner is
properly in place. This is accomplished
since 1/2 the garment closure mechanism
is removed when the
liner is removed.
An assembled ALL OR NOTHING
garment is visually indistinguishable
from a normal garment, but when the
liner is removed, the garment cannot be
closed and hence cannot be used.
Unlike all competitive products which
rely on the diligence and observational
skills of the fire officer (already overburdened
on the fire scene) to insure proper
garment usage, ALL OR NOTHING
garments are self policing – they
CANNOT be used unless they are used
properly.
Another advantage offered by the ALL
OR NOTHING CLOSURE (in comparison
to competitive products) is the fact
that it is applicable on PANTS as well as
COATS.
For departments interested in the ALL
OR NOTHING CLOSURE concept who
also wish to use their outer shells only
for non-structural fire fighting, a forestry
shield is available. This separate
forestry shield is completely reflective
(hence obviously non-standard) and can
be used with an ALL OR NOTHING
CLOSURE shell to allow shell only
non-structural fire fighting.

Low Bulk Closures
(Zipper Interior)
Tails/Coats and Pants (Patent Pending)
Firefighter garments were originally
designed with the traditional shields and
flys because alternative waterproof
closure technology was not readily
available. However, the new closure
concepts allow for the much lighter,
lower bulk closure illustrated below (with
the preservation of liquid shielding
properties).

Removable Crotch
Reinforcement for
Proximity Operational
Model (Patent Pending)
The aluminized Pbi utilized in our
Proximity Operational Model is the most
durable of the available aluminized products,
but all aluminized products have
limitations in that regard. A particularly
vulnerable area is the pants crotch area.
Our field test program has convinced us
that the first and most severe wear
occurs in that closely restricted area.
The design of our Full Range of Motion
(F.R.O.M.) crotch minimizes the amount
of self abrasion that occurs, but still
some is inevitable given the tightly
constricted garment to body interface in
that area. To address this problem for
our Proximity customers, we have
developed this removable crotch
reinforcement. The removable crotch
insert attaches with hook & pile tape to
the otherwise complete garment shell
around the perimeter of the F.R.O.M.
crotch insert. When wear does occur,
the functional main shell is protected and
the reinforcement piece can be replaced
easily in the field (without garment out of
service time). When ordering a replacement
crotch reinforcement, please
specify garment waist size.

Angled Cuff (Patent Pending)
The rear cuff of bunker pants are often
the first areas to wear and once that
wear begins, it can progress to challenge
the integrity of the whole garment (i.e.
raveling). By angling the back cuff, much
of that wear is prevented. Customers
are, however, cautioned that angling the
back cuff also requires angling the
liner/moisture barrier to prevent their
exposure to the rigors of the fire fighting
environment and thus makes guaranteed
protective overlap with the boots (in all
body positions) a little more difficult to
secure. Customers are urged to consider
the use of Liner Keeper Straps or boot
Ankle Fit Strap adjusters (shown on
page 111) with angled cuffs. Customers
are also reminded that properly
inseamed pants worn with firm
suspenders like the Dyna-Fit and
Dyna-Back (shown on pages 107 to 109)
will also prevent rear hem deterioration.

Magnet Mate Gloves
and Coat Sleeve Ends
(Patent Pending)
Custom Options – Cuff
This design feature is an outgrowth of
the Project HEROES ® design effort
discussed earlier, but is also available on
non-CBRN gear. The glove-to-coat
interface area is always a prime challenge
point for the entry of superheated
and/or noxious contaminants. The Magnet
Mate system uses thermally stable
molded rings, sheathed in padding, to
encase polarity-aligned magnets. The
cuff mates with similarly designed gloves
of any size. The polarity aligned
magnets in the coat cuff and glove cuff
automatically self align with the flick of
the wrist as the gloves are donned for a
secure, yet easily disassembled,
interface.
Table of Contents
Other Advantages of the Magnet Mate
Glove System:
• Minimizes wrist scald burns from the
entry of superheated liquids and gases.
• Helps to guarantee drier, and hence
warmer, hands on the fireground
• Whatever seals out heat and liquid also
helps seal out the numerous contaminants
on the fireground. Increasingly,
research is focusing on comparatively
higher firefighter cancer rates and any
potential links to fireground contaminants.
• Ring openings make donning much
easier than traditional gloves.
• Ring openings preserve insulating air
space around the vulnerable wrist area
• Magnets allow glove storage on any
metal and/or the coat cuff ring itself.
• Specially designed glove/sleeve rings
use strong, heat-resistant magnets to
create positive glove-coat interface to
reduce wrist/arm burns
• Magnets self align glove and sleeve
end for proper sealing
• Detaches through twisting action

Shingle Cuff (Patented)
In some of our major city field tests,
firefighters were reporting that their
hands were getting wet even though they
had verified the absolute waterproofness
of their firefighter gloves. After much
in-field study, we determined that
in certain hand positions, there could be
a break between the waterproof coat
sleeve and the waterproof glove. Liquids
could then easily enter through the open
gauntlet glove cuff or the (non-waterproof)
glove wristlet. Since the glove was
otherwise waterproof, any leakage was
retained in the glove product. The
shingle cuff design allows us to provide
interface protection without hand
restriction. The “shingle” attaches to
the coat with Velcro ® (unless ordered
permanently sewn on) so the firefighter
can adjust depth and rotation for
personal preference. Field tests show it
has completely eliminated the glove
water entry problem referenced.
Note: Extension matches outer
shell material unless another
material is specified on the order
(no extra charge).

Disposable Analysis
Strip (Patented)
Increasingly firefighters are facing the
risk of exposure to caustic materials
such as to PCB’s which can represent a
significant threat to firefighter health and
safety. The testing to determine whether
such exposure has occurred can often
be destructive to the expensive turnout
ensemble. The Disposable Analysis Strip
(DAS) design is an attempt to allow fire
departments to get that analysis done
without automatically sacrificing what
may still be a non-contaminated,
serviceable and expensive garment.
The DAS is intended to be a removable,
replaceable and sacrificial strip of material
to be used at the discretion of the fire
department. There are a variety of uses
for this patch.
For instance, it could be used by the fire
department to determine through lab
analysis whether the routine cleaning
process currently in use by the department
is effective, without sacrificing or
destroying the garment to lab analysis.
Also the DAS may be used to determine
whether a garment has been exposed to
a chemical or biological agent and/or
whether a garment has been properly
cleaned after such exposure.
The DAS can be used by fire departments
as a quality control measure, as
well as to assure compliance with
the cleaning requirements of NFPA
1851.
The DAS is sewn into each bunker coat
and each bunker pant and is made up of
the same outer shell fabric as the

Table of Contents
As quoted from a portion of the Appendix
of NFPA 1851 (Selection, Care and
Maintenance of Personal Protective
Equipment), it is not always practical to
assure that a garment has been cleaned
properly, so the Disposable Analysis
Strip could provide real value.
From NFPA 1851, 2008 Edition
Section A7.1.4.2
Organizations should be aware that decontamination
of protective equipment is
a complicate process and that there is
no guarantee that the protective elements
will be free from contamination.
While the purpose of decontamination is
to remove all contaminant(s) from an
ensemble element, decontamination
procedures or cleaning processes are
not always 100 percent effective in
removing all contamination. The actual
success of a decontamination process
can be determined only by measuring
the concentration of the contaminant(s)
in the element before and after the
selected decontamination or cleaning
process. The majority of tests that can
be applied for meas-uring the concentration
of contaminant(s) in the element
require destructive sampling of the
element that may render the element unusable
or nonrepairable. The sole evaluation
of contamination levels in rinse
water is not an appropriate measure of
decontamination effectiveness. Claims
for protective elements being contaminant
free based on statements from
ISPs or from the use of specific cleaning
products should be viewed with caution.
Procedures used for measuring contamination
levels should be specific for the
contaminant(s), if known. Useful analytical
procedures for measuring levels of
semivolatile organic chemicals in materials
are found in EPA SW-846, Test Methods
for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/
Chemical Methods: Method 3540, “Soxhlet
Extraction,” and Method 8270, “Semivolatile
Organic Compounds by Gas
Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry
(GC/MS).” These procedures involve extracting
a small piece of fabric in a solvent
such as methylene chloride and
analyzing the extract solution using gas
chromatography in conjunction with
mass spectrometry. The gas chromatography
separates chemical contaminants
and quantifies their amount, while the
mass spectrometry identifies the specific
chemical.”

Elbow Reinforcements
There is no standard elbow reinforcement
on Structural BPR, LTO and PRH,
as well as Proximity BPR, LTO and PRH
or EMS, because we find elbow wear to
not be a significant problem on those
garments. However, Technical Rescue
and Recovery garments are used in
confined space operations including
crawling and the Technical Rescue
standard thus requires elbow and knee
reinforcements for Rescue and Recovery
garments. Even for non-Technical
Rescue and Recovery applications,
Custom Options – Elbows, Epaulettes
some departments have special needs
in that area (perhaps training schools
where much knee and elbow crawling
is done), so we offer a full range of
reinforcement options. The most
durable outer shell reinforcement options
are Kevlar ® twill (available only in pale
yellow) or Kevlar ® / Nomex ® (available in
black, yellow or brick red). Please
consult the price list for a complete list of
available upgrades and pricing. Leather
reinforcements are not recommended
(but are available) because of dry rot
and decontamination problems. Similarly,
customers are cautioned that Arashield
reinforcements can be a heat sink under
certain conditions and are not recommended.
For Proximity garments, only
aluminized reinforcements may be ordered
(except at collar and cuffs, where
our standard is 7.5 oz rip-stop Pbi ).
Any reinforcements may be ordered
sewn on or detachable via hook and pile
tape.

Insulative Cooling,
Passive Pressure Coat
Ventilation (Patented)
This design feature is an outgrowth of
the Project HEROES ® design effort
discussed earlier, but is also available on
non-CBRN gear. The Insulative Cooling
System was originally designed to create
a passive, positive pressure environment
within the coat by recirculating exhaled
SCBA air into the coat. This positive
pressure environment within the coat
would help supplement upper torso interfaces
and prevent CBRN contaminant
entry between the coat and pants. It did
do that very effectively, but we learned
the concept also seemed to offer other
important advantages.
Field testers reported being much cooler
when using this sytem and demonstrably
perspired less. SCBA manufacturer
testing showed there was no increase in
exhalation resistance. Logical analysis
also suggests that the field tester
perception is supportable.
• During moderate exercise, a typical
male in good shape exhales about
81 liters of air each minute. That is a
remarkably large volume of air. The
extra air volume can absorb more
liquified sweat. The more air volume
over the liquid sweat within the turnout
system, the more quickly that sweat
(and the heat energy it carries) is
likely to evaporate. Think of how more
quickly you cool on a hot day when you
fan your perspiring face. When the
liquified sweat is absorbed by the air,
the heat energy it carries is also
transported and we feel cooler.
• The exhaled air leaves the lungs at
98.6° F. That temperature is BELOW
the internal micro-climate of your
Custom Options – Insulative Cooling
turnout gear even in winter, after
moderate fireighting. So the exhaled
air can be an active cooling agent.
• Further, exhaled air is at 100%
humidity levels. The introduction of
moist air into the hot turnout coat
causes that moisture to evaporate.
Evaporation is one of the most
powerful cooling processes.
Other advantages of the
Insulative Cooling System
(besides cooling):
• Air is one of the most efficient
insulators (without weight, bulk,
movement restriction or cost).
Introducing insulating air to the upper
torse where much of the radiant heat
impacts the body during fireighting,
can be a powerful safety feature.
• Minimizes burns from the entry of
superheated liquids and gases at
upper torso interface areas.
• Whatever seals out heat and liquid,
also helps seal out the numerous
contaminants on the fireground.
Increasingly, research is focusing on
comparatively higher firefighter cancer
rates and any potential links to
fireground contaminants.
When you specify an
Insulative Cooling Option
on new gear, you will
receive the following:
• A exhalation collection device for your
CBRN certfied regulator (we are
working with the major suppliers now,
and will need to know the model of
your SCBA at time of order).
• A flexible tube connecting the
exhalation port to an entry port ring on
your coat.
• An entry port with cover on your coat.
• Spacers to direct air flow across your
body, internal to the coat.

Morning Pride Clothing
BiFlex Heat Channel
Knee(Patented and Patent Pending)
• Strongly recommended for
all field tests
• High performance with
easy motion
At Morning Pride, we are constantly
attempting to both develop new and
refine even highly successful products.
Our Heat Channel Knee is, we believe,
simultaneously the most protective, most
comfortable and most specified knee
product on the market. The horizontal
stitch lines mean this highly protective
knee is as easy to bend as the outer
shell alone.
Only one very minor negative is ever
voiced about this knee: in a standing
position, it can be a little one dimensional
(flat on the curved leg). During
in-depth studies of firefighter leg motion
during vocational exercises, we also
noted that some leg rotation occurs on
the sides of the legs as the knees are
bent. This suggested that a bi-flexing
knee could even further facilitate motion
without requiring protective trade-off or
decreased comfort while crawling.
The photo to the above shows a pair of
pants with a traditional Heat Channel
Knee on the wearer’s right leg (to the left
in the photo) with notched corners (an
option) and a new BiFlex Heat Channel
Knee on the wearer’s left leg (to the right
in the above photo).

Traditional Heat
Channel Knee
Custom Options – Knees
BiFlex Heat
Channel Knee
Note the “flatter” more one dimensional
standard Heat Channel Knee on the left
and the more leg conforming BiFlex
Heat Channel Knee on the right.
Both knees are an industry leading
12” high (as a standard). The traditional
Heat Channel Knee is 9” wide (as a
standard) and the BiFlex Heat Channel
Knee, because it conforms more closely
to the leg, is 8”wide (as a standard).
Whether in a crouch or a kneel, both
knees, based on their differing conformance
to the leg and their width,
give roughly equivalent area coverage.
The BiFlex Heat Channel Knee follows
the leg curvature more closely because
it is designed to automatically flex in two
directions. Horizontal pleat lines in the
center of the knee facilitate knee bending,
while vertical pleat lines along the
outseam and inseam of the knee allow
the pant to flex AROUND the leg as the
knee flexes. This replicates the bi-flexing
action of the leg/knee during motion and
makes it the most easily flexing, high
protection knee we have ever manufactured
(and it is hard to improve on the
flexibility of the traditional Heat Channel
Knee).
Table of Contents

While both knees bend easily on horizontal
pleat lines, note how the BiFlex
knee to the right also bends around the
knee naturally during motion.
Also, because the BiFlex knee
“positions” the knee even more precisely
during motion, we can also scale the
insulative layering for less bulk without
significant impact upon effective insulation
protection. The chart to the right
shows the standard layering of the
BiFlex insulation system. Just as the
traditional Heat Channel Knee features
5 layers of insulation over the whole
knee, the BiFlex Heat Channel Knee
also offers 5 layers of protection in
the primary kneeling area and reduced
layering for less centered areas (we will
report the lowest CCHR layering results
in the 6” x 6” test area for reasons of
conservatism, still to be far higher than
essentially any other knee except the
5 layer traditional Heat Channel Knee).
Some final points:
• Traditional Heat Channel Knees will
continue to be available; many
customers have had such success that
they do not want to even consider a
change.
• BiFlex Heat Channel Knees will also
be available.
• Both traditional and BiFlex Heat
Channel Knees are the same price
(there is some small material savings
with the BiFlex design but more
stitching expense).
• You must ask for BiFlex Heat Channel
Knees on your order. If you ask for
Heat Channel Knees, you will receive
the traditional Heat Channel Knee (as
you always have).
You may even vary the material in the
horizontal sections to the center and in
the vertical sections on each side (the
price will reflect the higher material price
selected). Your IMA or our Quote
Department will be glad to help. An
example of such a knee would be, say
Arashield in the center for durability and
non-arashield on the sides for easier
flexing.

BiFlex Heat Channel Knee
Enhancement
The BiFlex Knee as originally introduced
was 2” narrower than the original Heat
Channel Knee. Many of you have
suggested that your customer is used to
the width of the normal Heat Channel
Knee and would prefer the same
dimensionality on the new BiFlex product.
An additional advantage of matching the
width of both products would be that
BiFlex Knees can be used in older heat
channel knee frames. For that reason,
as a standard and on a running change
basis, we have added one extra vertical
ridge on each side of the heat channel
knee. This change makes the BiFlex Heat
Channel Knees, the same width as the
normal Heat Channel Knees. Obviously,
the tiered layering of the BiFlex will still
allow the BiFlex to curve around the leg
more easily, it will only now be slightly
wider. You may still order the “narrow
BiFlex Knee” that we have been making
if you prefer the narrower width. There
is no extra charge for the extra BiFlex
Knee width.

Design Refinements on
BiFlex Heat Channel Knees
The BiFlex Heat Channel Knee design
option is becoming VERY popular. Some
in-field engineering has allowed us to advance
the design even further. These enhancements
will be standard in the
future, and the cost of the option is not
changed.
Sewn on or removable BiFlex Knee
Refinements include:
A widened center section, shown here in
optional Arashield material, makes the
main section flex more readily, stabilizing
the knee during motion even more.

Silicone Knees Versus Heat Channel Knee Insulation
Enhancements
We are in stock and have certification on Silicone insulation knee layering. While
we are glad to provide this product, unlike other firms, we do not “push”
Silicon knee thermal pads. Our patented Heat Channel Knee is more flexible,
more insulative and far more comfortable while crawling.
Silicone Coated Kevlar ® Knee Reinforcements
We are in stock and have certification on Silicone Kevlar ® reinforcements (one firm
has trademarked their use of this material as “Dragon Hide” – we refer to the
material as EZ-Flex)). While we are glad to provide this product, we find Kevlar ® /
Nomex ® is easier to flex, offers exceptional durability in our biggest metro accounts
and is easier to move in.
Comparing Arashield and Silicone Coated Kevlar ® Knees
Silicone coated kevlar ® is more flexible than Arashield, but it is also less durable,
as the chart below shows. Our Bi-Flex Heat Channel Knee, discussed on the
previous pages, is one design that allows the use of the more durable Arashield,
but only in the center where most abrasion occurs (so, minimizing the amount of
stiffer Arashield, but still having it where most abrasion occurs).
Material Cycles to Failure H-18 Abrasion Wheel Weight Grams
Dragon Hide 1,600+ 500
Arashield 3,000+ 1,000
NOTE: Please also see Flex Tucks and Flex Facilitator Panel options under
Liner Options pages 138 and 139. When removable knees are ordered, frame
will typically match knee (please see price list for full details).

Heat Channel Knees
(Patented)
Improves crawling comfort
while increasing insulation
Some departments have found that knee
burns are a particular problem for them.
At certain points of the burn curve,
compression can reduce insulative
performance. When kneeling, the firefighter’s
entire weight is spread over only
a few square inches. If this compression
at the knee decreases insulative
performance, the transfer of heat is
facilitated and conductive or scald burns
could occur (in the presence of sweat or
water). The Heat Channel Knee option
addresses this potential problem in
several ways:
• the pads are highly insulative (in
excess of 280 TPP units, when tested
per NFPA 1971)
• knee bending is very easy since the
bend occurs at the lateral stitch points

combat or advanced fire training.
where there is no added bulk
• the pads hold the firefighter’s knees
above the kneeling surface, thus
minimizing contact with hot embers,
super-heated surfaces and scalding
liquids
• in the event of a steam filled environment,
the channels provide a “a path of
least resistance” for steam to move
away from the firefighter’s body
Heat Channel Knees can be ordered for
either outer shell or liner placement
(please see photos to right). The exterior
placement is strongly recommended, as
it is far more comfortable; although the
interior placement will keep the assembly
drier (i.e. inside the moisture barrier) and
therefore lighter. The replaceability option
is also highly recommended since it
allows adjustment of knee systems to
firefighter preference and easy field
replacement of this high wear garment
area.
We recommend Kevlar ® /Nomex ® as the
Heat Channel outer shell material of
choice since it offers the highest level of
abrasion resistance. Kevlar ® /Nomex ® is
available in Black, and that color works
well with any outer shell material.
The Heat Channels run horizontally to
facilitate knee bending. Bending occurs
only on thin layers at stitch lines.
Because they are a soft material, they
also effectively cushion crawling.
The Technical Rescue and Recovery
standard requires elbow and knee

reinforcements. The Heat Channel
Knee is very popular for Technical
Rescue and Recovery applications
since it is kneeling and crawling on an
easy bending pillow (it is also our
most popular Structural, Proximity
and EMS knee for the same reasons).

Attachment is via
Hook & Pile tape,
as well as corner
straps. A three
sided “picture frame”
helps prevent the
knee from catching on items in the fire
environment. The bottom of the knee is
secured with interior Hook & Pile. This
exterior placement is so comfortable
than field testers report they are not
even aware of the assembly as they
work. Its one comparative difference to
interior placement, availability for wetting
and drying, can be minimized with the
removability feature that allows substitution
of a new assembly in the field easily.
For departments that wish to avoid the
channels on the exterior of the knee
assembly, a “domed” cover may be
specified which will cover the interior
channels.

hit with a CCHR three consecutive times.
All composites were the same (our 54i2)
and only the knee reinforcements/thermal
enhancements varied. As you will
see, the Heat Channel Knees out performs
the designs other manufacturers
often provide, both in the overall level of
protection, and also in consistency over
the area protected.
The following charts compare performance
of these typical systems during
repeat cycles of NFPA Standard 1971
CCHR test protocols. NFPA currently
only requires 1 CCHR test exposure and
25 seconds of protection before second
degree burn. But, given that firefighters
encounter repeated heat exposures, we
believe the additional test cycles provide
critical information. As you can see, the
testing isolates several key points:

Puncture Resistant
Knees
(Patented and Patent Pending)
A better Heat
Channel Knee
(see page 128)
and available
only in combination
with the
Heat Channel
Knee, since
the puncture
resistant panel
requires
cushioning to
stabilize.
For years now, firefighters’ boots have
offered ANSI Z-41 puncture resistance
(NFPA 1971 mandates puncture resistant
bottom plates in all fire fighting
footwear). The need is even more
critical now with the possibility of
encountering AIDS or hepatitis-infected
hypodermics, etc. in the dimly lit fire
fighting environment.
But let’s face it, when the visibility is
the worst – you are on your knees, not
your feet. Morning Pride’s Puncture
Resistant Dry Knee features the same
MIL-S-301, Rev D3,.020, Full-Hard,
Corrosion Resistant Stainless Steel
protection as the insole of your fire
boots. With this option, the Heat
Channel Knee (Patented – please see
page 128) is backed with a Kevlar ®
encased, pre-bent stainless insert.
The Kevlar ® prevents stainless movement
and the padding (besides its
insulative value) makes it impossible to
even detect the presence of the metal.

Knees
Photo illustrates a
khaki Kevlar ® /
Nomex ® knee
reinforcement on
a Pbi outer shell.
A reinforced knee
is a single layer of
the specified reinforcement.
A cushioned reinforced knee
features both the reinforcing piece and
an additional layer of flame resistant
cushioning (although for maximum cushioning,
the Heat Channel Knee on page
128 is recommended). For all exterior
knees discussed, see pages 125 to 130.
The most durable outer shell reinforcements
available are Kevlar ® twill
(available only in pale yellow) and
Kevlar ® / Nomex ® (available in black,
yellow or brick red). Please consult the
price list for a complete listing of all
available reinforcements and pricing.
Leather reinforcements are not recommended
(but are available), because of
dry rot and decontamination problems.
Similarly, customers are cautioned that
Arashield reinforcements can be a heat
sink under certain conditions and are not
recommended. For Proximity garments,
only aluminized reinforcements may be
specified (except for at collar and cuffs
where our standard is 7.5 oz rip-stop
Pbi ). If your order for a knee reinforcement
does not specify a material or
color, we will match your outer shell material
and color. If your order calls for a
different material knee reinforcement
from your outer shell material and does
not specify a color, your knee reinforcement
will be black (or pale yellow if you
specify Kevlar ® twill). Please specify on
your order any other color combination.

Body Armor Linings
(Patented) – The Body Armor Lining
concept is based on the recognition that
the shoulders, outside of the arms and
fronts of the legs, are the most thermally
loaded during typical fire fighting. While
many departments prefer to avoid the
bulk of the most insulative liner (Quilt
Batt), overall its insulative advantage is
very attractive in these specific body
areas. The Body Armor Lining places
Quilt Batt (as an integral, integrated
element) in these body areas in an
otherwise lighter liner system.
NOTE: To match lubricity of
liners and Body Armor...
• When the base liner for the garment
uses a regular Nomex ® face cloth
(including the xxix liner with
“Smooth” facecloth), the Body Armor
panels will be an xx2x liner, Nomex ®
facecloth with Q9 batt.
• When the base liner for the garment
uses a Semi-slick facecloth, the Body
Armor Panels will be an xx6x liner,
Semi-slick facecloth with Q9 batt
(unless your order specifies otherwise).

A great approach for departments

Boot Interface Panels
(Patented)
This patented design recognizes total
system weight may be reduced by
substituting lower weight, lower TPP,
Quilt E89 liner material where the pants
and boots interface. No effective
decrease in protection occurs since the
boots provide a known level of additive
insulation and MUST be worn.
Drawing illustrates pants equipped with
Knee Flex Facilitator (see below) and
Boot Interface Panel. Red shading
is used to highlight where the lighter
liner material would be utilized.

Custom Options – Liners
The problem in relying on dead air
inclusion in bunker clothing design has
always been that the weight of auxiliary
equipment (i.e. SCBAs) compress the
protective system and eliminate the dead
air insulation.
These patented Dead Air Panels
(constructed of NFPA certified thermal
liner fibers) prevent system compression
and hence guarantee the retention of
dead air insulation in the areas they are
used.
Firefighter burns through certified
systems are very predictable by body
area. Year after year, injury statistics
show many burns occur in the shoulder/upper
back/upper chest area. Dead
Air Panels in this area will increase
insulative protection up to 129% without
adding appreciable weight or restricting
motion.
Additionally, Dead Air Panels may be
ordered for placement in other body
areas (i.e. front of thighs, lower on arms
or other area of particular sensitivity –
for instance due to previous injury).
For departments considering (or using)
the newer, lighter, less stressful but also
less insulative liners (i.e. Quilt Aralite,
Quilt E89), these Dead Air Panels would
make the transition less likely to allow a
higher incidence of burns.

Extended Dead
Air Panels (only
the Dead Air
Panel’s stitch
lines on thermal

Additional Benefit: Moisture vapor
transmission testing shows Dead
Air Panels may also increase
e/PTFE breathability (a larger
volume of air available to the liner
surface). Breathability directly
relates to comfort levels and
stress dissipation.
Extended
Dead Air Panels
Option (i.e. 4 extra
forearm panels)
recommended for
use with the lighter
liner systems.
Note: Simple additional layers of liner material are also available in the shoulder area. However, they add more weight
and less insulation than the Dead Air Panels.

Demonstrating Dead Air
Insulation Panel’s
Technology Advantages
As most firefighters are aware, there are
three typical thermal enhancement
designs commonly used this market:
#1 Typical technology aramid
constructioning used by many
manufacturers
#2 Typical PVC foam based
constructioning used by only one
manufacturer
#3 Our patented Dead Air Insulation
Panels aramid construction
Also, some competitors are claiming that
the difference in insulation between the
peaks and valleys of Dead Air Panels is
an issue. So, we decided to compare
Dead Air Panels’ peaks and valleys
versus common competitive configura-
tions for the shoulder cap and back yoke
as often seen within the garments the
way they manufacture. The data presented
is from a recent study conducted
for a major bid/contract on sample material
“As Received,” then hit with a CCHR
three consecutive times. All composites
were the same (our 54i2) and only the
shoulder, yoke/ thermal enhancements
varied. As you will see, the Dead Air
Panels’ peaks and valleys out perform
the designs other manufacturers often
provide, both in the overall level of
protection, and also in consistency over
the area protected.
The following charts compare performance
of these typical systems during
repeat cycles of NFPA Standard 1971
CCHR test protocols. NFPA currently
only requires 1 CCHR test exposure and
25 seconds of protection before second
degree burn. But, given that firefighters
encounter repeated heat exposures, we

believe the additional test cycles provide
critical information. As you can see, the
testing isolates several key points:
• Both of the aramid based systems (#1
and #3) tend to show consistent or
increasing results after repeated
CCHR exposures.
• The PVC based systems (#2) however,
tend to have decreasing results with
repeated CCHR exposures.
• The Dead Air Panel’s technologies (#3)
clearly out perform the competitive
products in essentially all conditions.
Remember, we can also reproduce these
comparative tests in our lab RIGHT IN
FRONT OF YOUR EYES. We have
found this kind of demo is a powerful tool
for customers to see and clearly differentiates
us from competitive offerings. The
comparative condition of the materials
alone, after test, is a powerful demonstration
of the comparative performance
characteristics of the designs.

EZ Move Combo Liner
(Patented)
The ideal liner would be light, highly
insulative, offer high wicking rates to
move stressful sweat off the firefighter’s
skin, easily flexible, slick for donning
ease and quick to dry. Unfortunately, no
one liner excels in all these categories.
In fact, many of these categories run
inverse to one another. For instance, the
more slick the liner is, the less sweat
absorbent it tends to be. As another
example, the more insulative the liner is,
the heavier and stiffer it becomes.
We are introducing an innovative approach
that allows us to use the appropriate
thermal liner at the specific body
area where its strengths are needed

Flex Facilitator Panels
(Patented)
Many departments have been strongly
drawn to the flexibility advantages of the
new lightweight thermal liners but are
reluctant to move to them since they
represent up to a 40% decrease in
thermal protection (as compared to the
traditional Nomex ® liners previously
used).
The FLEX FACILITATOR PANEL concept
allows the MIXING of liner materials to
recognize the differing needs of different
body parts.
In the past, if a department wished the
extra protection of relatively heavier
liners on the high heat load bearing
shoulders, thighs and front of knees,
etc.; they also had to accept the bulk of
that material at relatively shielded flex
points like the back of the knees, front of
elbows, etc. Thus, liner choice became a
compromise between insulation required
and the amount of bulk tolerable (a
problem almost exclusive to flex points).
Knee Flex Facilitator Panel Elbow Flex Facilitator Panel
• Red shading highlights facilitating panels
• Other body areas may also be “flex facilitated.”
The FLEX FACILITATOR concept means
compromise is no longer necessary; the
exact appropriate liner material can be
chosen for each body part. The design
allows the use of the more insulative
liners with insertion of less bulky material
panels at flex crucial body areas.
While the idea allows the use of any
lighter material at flex points, we are
currently using Quilt E89 since it is the
lightest yet still NFPA minimum TPP liner
material currently available.
Normal fire fighting posture is a crouch
so flex points are normally flexed. This
flexing causes liner bunching which
increases effective TPP insulative
performance (over a single non-bunched
layer of the same material); SO A
LOWER TPP LINER MATERIAL CAN
BE USED AT FLEX POINTS AND STILL
IN MOST FIRE FIGHTING MOMENTS
OFFER INSULATION EQUIVALENT TO
THE REST OF THE LINER (which is a
heavier, more insulative material but is
not bunched since it is not at a flex
point).
Thus, the FLEX FACILITATOR PANEL
CONCEPT allows the stress reducing
flexibility advantages of E89 at the
Table of Contents
precise body points where flexibility
occurs, while preserving the desired high
insulation performance of other lining
systems at high heat load bearing
body parts. The FLEX FACILITATOR
CONCEPT is particularly effective when
used in combination with VECTOR FLEX
TUCKS CONCEPT (see page 139).
For details and pricing, please contact
our Customer Service Department.
Notes:
• Flex Facilitators offer the most
value when the heavier thermal
liners are utilized. If you
already specify a very light
liner, flex points will already
have light material in place.
• Moisture barriers must now be
taped with specific seam
sealing tape which cannot be
used with other barriers,
therefore Flex Facilitators on
garments now feature only a
thermal liner insert of lighter
material.

Liner Locator (Patented)
The Liner Locator is an alternative to the
more expensive All or Nothing Closure
(page 115), when notification of missing
liners is desired. However, while the All
or Nothing Closure system is self-policing
(the garment can’t be used when the
liner is removed), the Liner Locator
system relies on the diligence and
observational skills of the fireground
officer.
Vector Flex Tucks
(Patented)
With liner in,
locator affixes to
hook and loop on
pant cuff (hem
trim on coats) for
continuous trim.
Locator tab is
sewn to liner. If
liner is removed,
the unmated hook
and loop on the
outer shell indicates
the liner is
missing.

substantial. For instance, the front of the
leg is 30% longer in a crouch than when
standing upright.
The VECTOR FLEX TUCK builds in
(3 dimensional) extra liner and moisture
barrier material (the outer shell “extends”
on the tabs that attach it to the liner
moisture barrier) so the clothing can
“grow” with movement like the human
body does. The result is easier, less
restricted motion. In the absence of this
“pocket” for limb extension, not only is
flex more difficult, but the clothing is
also pulled tight to the body sometimes
reducing insulative protection.

Weight Reduction
Hemming (Patented)
An option for a 3” shorter coat with
the weight savings and mobility
enhancements that allows – WITHOUT
any decrease in protective overlap.
The inner moisture barrier and thermal
liner must be protected from the hostile
fire fighting environment. Historically
(standard hemming), this liner protection
has been accomplished with an outer
shell that overlaps (is longer than) the
interior moisture barrier and thermal liner
(for reference, NFPA 1971 specifies a
maximum 3” overlap); since bringing the
outer shell only to the composite length
required (usually 32” or 35” length outer
shell length less 3” shorter allowance for
inner liners) would mean these fragile
Table of Contents
inner layers would sometimes be
exposed during movement.
We recognized this shell overlap meant
we were carrying the weight, upper leg
restriction and pocket access limitations
of an extra 3” of outer shell material. By
developing weight reduction hemming,
we were able to guarantee the fragile
inner layers were not exposed, without
the negatives associated with an
unnecessarily long outer shell. Weight
reduction hemming means tails can be
shortened to 26” front/32” rear and
traditional style coats to 32” with the
same effective protective overlap as 3”
longer non-weight reduction products.

Lumbar Support Coat
(Patented)
A “coat placed system” that delivers the
advantage of a “float away from the
body” system that does not retain heat
when the lumbar system is not being
utilized riding in the rig, for instance).
You can purchase this system in a
variety of manners:
Options:
• Lumbar Support with new coat
equipped for system
• Lumbar Belt alone
• Retrofit of existing Morning Pride coat
to accommodate Lumbar Belt
• Clip-on suspenders
The photos will give you some idea of
how the “close
to the body system” works and its many
advantages:
For departments that already have
Lumbar Support belts, we can engineer
your turnout gear to accept those
existing belts. However, our Lumbar
system offers some important
advantages that may not be available
in already issued belts:
• Features an automatically engaging
cinch strap mechanism. With most
commercial belts already on the
market, the cinch strap has to be
separately engaged after the main belt
is engaged, and this could be difficult
under a turnout coat.
• The Morning Pride belt is an adaptation
of an existing, medically proven
belt. This is unlike some competitive
products developed for the first time
(by firms NOT experienced with lumbar
systems) for insertion into the gear.
Custom Options – Lumbar Support
• A minimally stressful lumbar support
system that floats freely away from the
body when not engaged (unlike
competitive pants based systems).
• A belt that can be removed from the
turnout coat for use in non-turnout coat
equipped duties.
• A state-of-the-art, field proven belt from
a leader in the medically oriented
safety products market.
• The ability to allow the belt and the
garment to move separately and not
bind the firefighter.
• Close to body support placement for
maximal effectiveness.
• Very minimal weight impositions.
The Morning Pride belt weighs
approximately 6 oz and the holding
mechanisms in the coat add
approximately 2 oz.
• No liner compression to potentially
reduce insulative performance when
the belt is deployed (unlike
competitive pants based systems).
When the coat is worn without the
belt employed, the belt flows easily
away from the firefighter’s body (allowing
cooling, stress reducing ventilation).

way to tell that there is an engaged

Lumbar Support Option Continued…
The Lumbar Support Belt can be
easily removed from the turnout coat
and be used when turnout gear is not
being used (EMS detailing, for instance).
Optional hook and loop on suspender
straps allow the firefighter to let the belt
float freely (and coolly) away from the
body until support is needed, much as
the coat allows it to do when the belt is
used in combination with the coat.

The belt can easily be engaged or
disengaged on a Tails coat without even
opening the front closure.
Shows the coat with the belt in place.
Morning Pride has received a patent on
the concept of integrating a Lumbar
Support belt into the linings of a fire
garment. We believe this “next to the
body” placement of the belt is critical to
delivering proper support (separating the
belt from the body with bulky liners that
bunch, when the belt is engaged, makes
no sense). Also, compressing the liners
(as a belt placed outside does) often
reduces the insulative performance of
the system.
Important Note:
Custom Options – Lumbar Support
There is considerable and continuing
debate within the scientific community
concerning the efficacy of lumbar
support belts. Respected scientists have
done scholarly, well researched papers
on both sides of the debate. The Morning
Pride belt is manufactured by a
medically oriented, research driven,
industry leader in lumbar support
technology. We have worked with these
medical specialists to carefully design
the belt to address the most common
Table of Contents
concerns raised about lumbar support
systems. The Chase/ Morning Pride belt
is worn low on the hips as an external
skeletal support (a “lumbar lock” to keep
the hips and back in proper orientation to
minimize the chance of injury) rather than
around the abdomen as a soft tissue
foundation; thus minimizing the possibility
of muscle atrophy over long-term use.
Similarly, while some belts are constructed
of materials that can cause
circulatory stress, the Chase/Morning
Pride belt features functional panels
constructed from exactly the same
fabrics that are used clinically to manage
scar tissue in burn rehabilitation and for
the construction of support stockings
prescribed for treatment of varicose veins
(and of course, non-impaired circulation
is mandated in both of these clinical
situations). Nonetheless, Morning Pride’s
offering of the lumbar support coat
should not be interpreted as an
endorsement of either side of the debate.
Instead, for our customers who feel a
lumbar support program offers them
value, Morning Pride wanted to be
able to offer a belt with some important
advantages not available in other
competitive belts.
PLEASE NOTE: The elastic
supports are loose enough that
the belt moves independently of
the coat. When you try this
composite on you will be
surprised to see how easily the
coat and the firefighter move.
There is no bind up from the
mated system (thanks to
careful design placement of the
anchoring hook and pile point).

Passport/Accountability
System
Many departments, wanting to initiate,
upgrade or build more control into their
personnel accountability systems, have
turned to MORNING PRIDE to help
assist in the design and fabrication of
advanced passport identification devices.
Most accountability systems require that
a firefighter deposit a marking device
with the person responsible for tracking
personnel at the scene of an incident.
Morning Pride can easily supply one or
more tracking tags, attached to the coat
with Velcro ® or snaps, usually under the
collar or inside the front storm flap. These
tags can be fabricated from shell fabric
or reflective material and can be of practically
any size to interface with any style of
accounting system. If a standard design
will not fit your needs, we suggest you
contact the Morning Pride Customer
Service Department for information and
complete specifications on special
devices.
This illustrates the #OP-PS2, 1” x 4”
Reflexite (Morning Pride lettered) tag
that, in this case, is shown stowed on the
fire coat chest. Placement of the tags is
at the option of the department.
Custom Options – Passport and Personalization
This illustrates our OP-PSI, 2” x 3 1 ⁄4”
passport tag with Velcro ® backing
that stows on the same panel used for
securing the collar chinstrap. Storing the

Integral Customization
(Patent Pending)
Now you can customize your protective
clothing in full color, durably and cost
effectively without compromising protective
performance. Our new integral
customization process, developed first
to allow effectively durable and flame
resistant labeling, allows us to recreate
any artwork on your bunker gear.
These patches are a replica of a fire
department’s embroidered patch, placed
on white FR cotton material and sewn to
the sleeve. Background colors used for
the patches are matched as close as
possible, but due to the dye lots and
slight color variations, exact matches are
not always possible. This is usually only
difficult to match with Khaki and Golden
Brown. As always, the background
material will be turned under as much
as possible to stitch close to the department’s
logo, so minimal amounts of the
Table of Contents
background color will be visible. If
preferred, we can print these with a black
background to avoid a shading issue.
Just specify on your quote request (or
order) and we will make them with a
black background. All we require is your
department’s patch (or pre-approved
artwork exactly the way you want it to
appear), the finished dimensions you
would like for it to appear on your
clothing, and the body area where you
would like the artwork placed.

Radio Pockets and the Positive

Medical Records Pocket
Some departments place their radio pockets on their left chest
(as worn). That radio placement can be constricted with a Positive
Closure DRD. You may wish to consider some of the alternatives
detailed below if you want both the highly popular,
Positive Closure DRD and the Radio Pocket placement on the
left chest:
• Keep the radio pocket on the left chest but accept somewhat
higher placement than normal (moving the mic clip to the
pocket face or 2” down from the top of the shield, can
often make this work effectively).
• Move the radio to the right chest (or elsewhere).
• Consider a Chicago closure (7” wide shield over hooks) as
this moves all hooks to the right chest and leaves the left chest open
• Use a hinged radio pocket with Velcro bottom.

New New York State
Law Requires Firefighters
be Provided
with NFPA 1983 Fire
Service Life Safety
Rope and Systems
New York State Assembly A07785 was
signed by the governor 8/1/07 and
became effective 9/30/07. It amends
section 27-a of the NY labor law to
require any “employer who employs
firefighters” in a city with a population
of less than 1,000,000 to provide
safety ropes and system components
(harnesses, belts, ascenders, carabineers,
etc.) that comply with NFPA
1983 standards, specifically the
Standard on Fire Service Life Safety
Rope and System Components.
The employer must maintain the
equipment and provide training in
their use.
It is our understanding that the word
“city” is used generically and that FDs
that service Townships, etc. are also
covered. But we are checking our
assumptions out and will advise you
of any new information.
The new law also requires the NY
Commissioner of Labor to adopt rules
consistent with the NFPA Standard.
However, the law does not set forth a
time frame for the adoption of the
regulations. We have contacted the
commissioner’s office to find out how
these rules will be adopted, and
whether there will be any public
comment periods. As of this morning,
the commissioner’s office had not set
any time frame or procedures for the
drafting and adoption of the rules.
Since the new law does not specify
exactly what system components will
be required to be issued, it is anticipated
that the rules will include more
guidance on the minimum components
that must be issued.
Custom Options – Rescue
It is unclear if the law requires that
each firefighter to be issued a system,
or if they may be issued as “positional”
systems. The statute merely states
that a system be available for use by
a firefighter. Presumably, the rules to
be issued by the commissioner will
address this.
The law refers to “employees” and
“employers.” New York considers
volunteer firefighters “employees” for
purposes of section 27-a of the NY
labor law (Hartnett v. Village of Ballston
Spa (3 Dept 1989) 152 A.D. 2d
83, 547 N.Y.S. 2d 902). A copy of that
decision is available upon request.
We will continue to follow up with the
commissioner regarding the drafting
and the adoption of the rules required
by the statute.
In the interim, dealers that serve NY
state firefighters are reminded that
Morning Pride makes an NFPA 1983
certified Harness Bunker Pants
(catalog page 158). The advantage of
this patented system is that the
Harness is protected inside the outer
shell of the pants and the pants/
harness close in one motion on the
normal closing side.
Also illustrated on that page is the
patented FDNY style loops for a
Gemtor style exterior harness (which
you must purchase separately).
Normally, the Gemtor and pants close
in the opposite direction right over left,
but you can special order pants with a
normal closure and Gemtor loops.
The least aggressive approach may be
a simple Escape Belt (current catalog
page 149).
The patented Circumferential Rope
Pocket on catalog page 149 of the
catalog is also a good way to ensure
the rope is always available.
Table of Contents
Additionally, Morning Pride makes the
current FDNY Rope Pocket (current
catalog page 150).
This pocket accommodates the FDNY
system elements. We can provide
access information on these system
items, BUT it is a specialized system
and specialized training is not yet
available outside FDNY. Further,
just as FDNY assembles these
elements themselves, FDs interested
in this system must also assume the
responsibility for proper assembly of
all elements. We can put you in touch
with experts within our NYC office if
you wish to pursue this approach
further.
We will continue to keep you informed.

Circumferential Rope
Pocket (Patented)
For Search and/or Escape
Ropes
A widespread problem encountered by
departments wishing to equip their
firefighters with escape ropes and/or
search guide ropes is: “Where to carry
the bulky, heavy rope without inhibiting
mobility or comfort, while still permitting
effective use?” As turnout systems have
become heavier, the percentile weight of
the rope becomes larger and larger and
the resulting “imbalance” that occurs
while trying to carry the rope in a pocket
is even more pronounced.
Designed by an experienced fire officer,
the circumferential rope pocket is the
first and only design that offers a
solution to this problem. Specifically, this
pocket design is based on the critical
observation that spreading and “balancing”
the weight of the rope is key. The
design utilizes the shortened length and
easy access which the Tails styling
offers. An interior pocket which opens
and closes via hook and pile tape runs
around the interior hem of the coat to
hold the major length of the rope. By
spreading the rope weight evenly around
the entire torso, it is almost un-noticeable
(it truly is amazing how effectively
the design hides the rope weight). The
pocket is also located to not interfere
with either sitting or the SCBA. The stop
plate and hook (at opposing ends of the
rope) are fed through a slit in the outer
shell and held in place via slots and
flaps. When it becomes necessary to deploy
the rope, the hook is simply pulled
and the rope unfurls easily through the
slit.

During Training
A recent release from the New York
State Association of Fire Chiefs describes
an accidental DRD deployment
and hang-up. To help minimize those
problems we have done several things:
• Our standard articulating DRD uses
the flat weave webbing only on the
handle. The bulk of the DRD is
Kevlar ® “round rope like” webbing
which presents no “flat” surface that
can allow projectile penetration and
anchoring.
• Metro departments, like FDNY, have
worked with us to minimize the
possibility of accidental handle
hang-up. Our Metro DRD package
with the hidden handle, tissue box
protection device and non-looped
access tab offers important aids to
prevent accidental deployment. WE
THINK ALL FIRE DEPARTMENTS
SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER
THESE ADVANTAGES.

Drag Rescue Devices
Morning Pride offers four different
DRDs, with three different hand hold
systems.
The new 2007 edition of NFPA 1971 (which covers BOTH
Structural and Proximity garments) REQUIRES that a
certfied Drag Rescue Device be installed in every coat.
Our Price List (and all that follows) includes the cost of our
standard Articulating Drag Rescue Device in the basic
model cost. But there are options and upgrades available
and these pages explain those options. All upgrades are
priced in the price list at the upcharge over standard. The
price list includes individual and retrofit pricing as well.
DRDs store between the coat’s outer shell and lining. All
are sized loose enough to give total freedom of movement,
yet are virtually undetectable during fire fighting. In use, it
slides between the shell and liner to firmly grip the upper
torso of the wearer and offer better leverage to the rescuer.
The Hand Hold is attached by hook and loop via a flap on
the underside of the collar and is barely visible when the
coat is worn.

ALL DRDs extend
approximately
9” from garment

means that both underarms are
engaged when the rescuer must pull
from an angle. In contrast, nonarticulating
designs will only pull on
both underarm areas if the rescuer
can make a straight pull. Engaging
both sides of the downed firefighter
should help minimize the chance of
pulling the coat off or failing to gain
effective leverage on the victim.

Positive Closure DRD
Design
Positive Closure
Articulating DRD
(Patented)
Anyone who has had the unfortunate
duty of trying to move an unconscious
downed firefighter knows the dead
weight and body limpness that complicate
the rescue. This new positive
closure rapid rescue strap engages the
strap to positively circle the chest as the
coat is closed. The extra leverage of a
completely closed system (rather than
simple underarm positioning of other
drag rescue devices) could be a
significant aid to rescue.
While this system is slightly more
expensive than less positive DRDs (the
front D-Ring and Reverse Hook must be
certified to provide 1,573 foot-pounds of
strength and is hence somewhat expensive),
this is the DRD that Morning Pride
recommends as offering the most
reliable leverage in an emergency
situation.

FDNY Metro DRD
Package
(Patented)
NYC’s FDNY has conducted a rigorous

They have spent over 9
months and completed over 2,500 drags
in various conditions. They have
selected our Positive Closure Articulating
Drag Rescue Device with certain
optional upgrades. We feel their
package of DRD designs and options
represents the best in available
technologies and so we are offering an
FDNY Metro DRD Package that conveniently
includes all their selected options.
Specifically, the FDNY Metro DRD
Package includes the following features
in addition to the standard Positive
Closure features:
Tissue Box Handle Garage (Patent
Pending): Designed to facilitate easy
access while simultaneously minimizing
accidental deployments. 2 snaps on
cover to allow easy DRD insertion and
When closed trim is continuous
DRD channeling during use (as well as
hook and pile tape).
Extended Deployment Tab (Patent Pending)with
reflective trim and rolled end.
FDNY enhanced our suitcase handle
design to add a high visibility deployment
tab with a rolled end for no-visibility
location.
Velcro ® under collar holds deployment
tab when not in use.
Velcro ® retaining tabs. FDNY felt this
stabilized the DRD during normal wear
and tear, so that it was in optimal
placement for emergency use.

5. The latest DRD for Even
More Ease of Rescue
Configurable 5 Person
Drag System
Also Configurable as a 4, 3,
2 or 1 Person Drag System
Patented and Patent Pending
Some customers
have indicated a
preference for
even more
flexibility and
available “pull
force” in their
Drag Rescue
Systems. In
conjunction with
an experienced
metro rescue

have developed
a configurable
(up to 5 person)
drag system.
THIS IS THE
ONLY SUCH
SYSTEM AVAILABLE ON THE
MARKET.
So, how does it work?
The system is basically invisible when
not deployed, as the full torso photo
illustrates.
The normal
top of the back
opening is
used, as in all
DRDs. You
can get any
hand hold, as
with any DRD.
The loop hand hold is standard but many
prefer the optional extended deployment

Harness Bunker Pants
(Patented)
NFPA 1983 Class II Certified Harness
• Secure, comfortable ladder lock
capabilities built into pants
• Emergency escape rappelling
capabilities for every firefighter
• 1 step donning of NFPA 1971 certified
bunker pants and NFPA 1983
certified class #2 safety harness
• Harness straps protected by storage
inside outer shell of bunker pants
• Harness usable WITHOUT removal of
bunker pants
• Harness does not reduce comfort or
mobility during normal fire fighting
activities
Increasingly, progressive fire departments
(especially in the larger cities) are
requiring individual firefighter escape/
security systems. However, the use of
these systems combined with the use of
bunker pants has always been time
consuming, bulky and frequently noncompatible.
This HARNESS PANTS SYSTEM
integrates these two safety items into an
effectively functioning package. The
Harness is a specially designed NFPA
1983-Class 2 certified product. The pants
are Morning Pride, NFPA 1971 (and
Project FIRES in appropriate materials)
certified bunker pants. The harness
straps are stored between the outer shell
and liners of the pants, so the straps are
protected from the fire environment and
the firefighter’s body is cushioned from
the ride of the harness straps. The
harness weighs only 2 1 ⁄2 pounds and is
carried at the least stressful body point:
the waist/hips (i.e. body center of gravity).
One motion will close BOTH the bunker
pants and the harness. Bunker pants with
the harness installed still can be stored
over fire boots. When the harness is not
installed, the bunker pants may still be
closed and used as traditional bunker
pants.
Minimum appearance difference when
harness is not being used. Our new
standard narrow fly is shown; the older

Take-up straps allow several inches of
waist adjustment. They can also be
used to transfer pants weight from
shoulders (i.e. suspenders) to waist (the
take-ups). Since the waist is closer to
the body’s center of
gravity (where it is
less stressful to carry
weight), this can
reduce the stress
load on the firefighter.

Morning Pride Clothing
Wildland/Structural Dual
Certification Option
(Patented)
For Structural Operational
Models*
One of the most significant ways that
firefighters are over-stressed is the use
of heavy Structural gear for Wildland fire
fighting.
However, it is easy to see how it
happens:
• When the civilian calls in to report a
grass fire, the responding fire
department never can be comfortable
that the fire does not impinge on a
structure. The appropriate response in
such questionable circumstances, is
the most aggressive response.
Therefore, firefighters arrive on scene
in Structural gear.
• Since fire departments are often in the
above situation, why invest in a
separate expensive set of Wildland
gear (they will most often end up
responding in their Structural gear
anyway; once on scene, the Wildland
gear is not available to them).
• Carrying Wildland gear on the rig won’t
even work; what is the chance that you
will have the correct sizes you need.
Finally, our research and development
efforts allow us to offer a very low cost,
very practical solution. When this option
is specified, the attachment of the
liner/moisture barrier composite to the
outer shell will be modified to prevent
any type of hardware body contact when
the liner and moisture barrier are removed
(this is a NFPA 1977 Standard on
Protective Clothing and Equipment for
Wildland Fire Fighting).
This design change has allowed us to
dual certify structural clothing with this
option to BOTH the Structural and
Wildland NFPA standards (1971 and
1977 respectively). Specifically with a
removable liner/ moisture barrier
assembly in place, the garment meets
Custom Options – Wildland Dual Certification
the Structural requirements; when the
moisture barrier/liner assembly is
removed, the garment meets the
Wildland requirements.
With a Wildland/Structural Dual Certification
option product, the fire department
can respond in their Structural gear.
When they determine it is truly a
Wildland operation, they can simply
snap out the moisture barrier/thermal
liner assembly. Consider the advantages:
• It is a very low cost way to have
certified Wildland gear.
• The Wildland gear is ALWAYS on the
rig in the sizes the responding
firefighters require.
• Department markings, rank
identification, etc. are retained in
Wildland operational mode.
• The fire departments can still respond
in their most aggressive equipment
(Structural) and ultimately fight a
wildland fire perfectly equipped (not in
stressful Structural gear).
• The option provides extra productive
usage for your turnout dollar
investment.
Some considerations to remember:
• This option is not available with sewn-in
moisture barrier (at the neck or waist)
and liner assemblies.
• Other options on these garments must
also not allow hardware to penetrate
the outer shell (so that it could contact
the body with the moisture barrier/liner
assembly removed). For instance a
chest mounted flashlight hook would
have to be mounted on a separate
patch which would then be sewn to the
chest.
• Liner locator options may also be
considered to notify officers when/if the
moisture barrier/liner assembly is
removed (appropriately for Wildland
firefighting and inappropriately for
Structural fire fighting).

Honeywell First Responder Products 162

Morning Pride Clothing
• Dual Certified to
ANSI 107 and
ANSI 207
• Also Meets 23 CFR
634 Flame Resistance
Requirements
• Patent Pending Design
23 CFR 634 went into effect on Monday
11/24/08 and was to specifically require
that ANYONE working in the right-of-way
of a federal-aid highway must be wearing
high visibility clothing that meets the
requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107; 2004
edition, class 2 or 3. This requirement
was to apply to all emergency responders,
including firefighters or EMS workers.
There was to be no exception to this
requirement for First Responders, even
while engaged in active fire fighting on
federal-aid highways.
However, on Friday 11/21/08, FHWA
issued an Interim Final Rule that:
• Revised the definition of workers
covered by 23 CFR 634 to exclude
firefighters when they are exposed to
flame, fire, high heat or hazardous
materials.
• Exempts firefighters and other
emergency responders from the
requirement to use ANSI 107
garments, when they are exposed to
hazardous conditions where the use of
such apparel may increase the risk of
injury to firefighter personnel.
Obviously, this requires some judgment
to be exercised as to when/if a First
Responder is exposed to hazardous
conditions and when/if that exposure
ends. There is also considerable
judgment involved as to whether using
the high visibility product may increase
the risk of injury. Certainly, some
non-FR high visibility products would be
contra-indicated on essentially all First
Responder response scenes, but
products like the Morning Pride First
Responder vest meet ASTM F2302 FR
tests as referenced in NFPA for other
products.
163
www.HoneywellFirstResponder.com
Auxiliary Clothing Products
It is important to remember that 23 CFR
634 STILL REQUIRES FIRST RESPON-
DERS WEAR ANSI 107 HIGH VISIBIITY
PRODUCTS EXCEPT WHEN THEY
ARE EXPOSED TO HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS WHERE THE USE OF
SUCH APPAREL MAY INCREASE THE
RISK OF INJURY TO FIREFIGHTER
PERSONNEL.
The Interim Final Rule was a major and
unanticipated change in the 23 CFR 634
scope. Upon request, we can provide a
copy of the Interim Final Rule, annotated
on pages 3, 4 and 7 to highlight the
information of greatest note. We also
have updated questions and answers on
the new First Responder high visibility
requirements that we can forward upon
request.
Given this new ruling, the remaining high
visibility requirements and the number
of First Responder traffic incidents, we
think departments will pursue one of the
two following paths:
1. Carry flame resistant vests on the rig
for use when active firefighting is not
occurring.
2. Still opt to always integrate flame
resistant high visibility vests with the
turnout clothing.
But, First Responders face challenges
that other roadway workers do not
normally face. As a result, the vests
on the market do NOT meet First
Responder needs.
We have developed a family of
products, immediately available that
reflect First Responder needs and ARE
workable for First Responders.
The First Responder High
Visibility Vest – Patent Pending
This product is designed to address the
inadequacies of current high visibility
vests for First Responders that were
designed for non-First Responder work.
It offers key advantages over alternative,
general purpose, high visibility products.
1. Dual Certification to ANSI 107 and
ANSI 207
Table of Contents
2. Stable integration with the turnout coat
3. Wear alone (or over coat) adjustability
4. Reliable flame resistance,
demonstrated by compliance with
ASTM F2302
5. Reliable thermal stability and
insulative performance under high
heat loading conditions
6. Lack of interference with underlying
PPE critical safety functions
7. First Responser levels of durability
1. Dual Certified to ANSI 107 and
ANSI 207
ANSI 107 products are the only
products that meet 23 CFR 634
requirements – ANSI 207 allows lower
fluorescence square inches. However,
ANSI 207 has a more restricted scope
than ANSI 107 that allowed the
document to be maximized for public
safety work. In particular, the ANSI 207
document requires higher levels of retroreflectivity.
For this reason, we believe
First Responder vests should be both
ANSI 107 and ANSI 207 compliant.
2. Stable integration with the
turnout coat
Realistically, high visibility vests will have
to be worn on essentially all calls, and
should be
integrated
with your
turnout coat
so that when
the coat is
on, the vest is
in place. The alternative is unworkable;
you would have to decide if the destination
of any call will be a federal aid highway.
These federal aid highways change
year to year, and even minor side streets
sometimes receive federal funding. Even
if you do know federal aid status of a
destination, what if the apparatus upon
arrival must be parked on a corner street
whose aid status is different? Also,
consider the delay of determining if a
specific destination requires vests and
then putting them on (if required), while
the tones drop. And, in the event of a

vehicle injury on a non-federal aid highway
where you did not require vests
since 23 CFR 634 does not apply, how
can you explain having not required the
high visibility protection that the federal
regulations require? Perhaps because
of this, there are proposals being
considered to extend 23 CFR 634 to “all
roads open to public travel.”
To make “vest in place” response practical,
our First Responder High Visibility Vest is
designed to integrate with the coat via
epaulettes. These epaulettes can be
ordered on new coats or retrofitted on
existing Morning Pride coats.
These epaulettes are stitched to the
garment toward the shoulder and
attached to the coat toward the neck
with Velcro ® . The First Responder High
Visibility Vest is designed to install easily
under the epaulettes. When the coat is
donned, the vest is there. One donning
motion installs both protective systems
on the body and stabilizes the vest to the
coat.
3. Wear alone (or over coat)
adjustability
But when desired, the vest can be easily
removed from the coat and worn alone.
Generous sizing adjustment means the
vest functions perfectly in either “over
coat” or “body alone” mode. The standard
vest will fit over a size 50 or smaller
turnout coat; XL vests are available upon
request at slight cost increase.

Same Vest Adjusted for
Wear Over Coat
4. Reliable flame resistance,
demonstrated by compliance with
ASTM F2302
The high visibility vest industry is very
liberal with the terms “FR” and “flame
resistant.” There is no standardization in
the general purpose vest business and
on occasion, we feel, some claims are
made inappropriately. There are some
vendors that
indicate that their
vests are made of
FR materials
based on the
Consumer
Product Safety
Commission
(CPSC) regulations
that are found
in Title 16 CFR
Part 1610. This is
the ordinary apparel flame spread or 45
degree test that uses a small flame
contacting the sample for 1 second and
measuring the rate of burning. It has
nothing to do with flame resistance, and
newspaper will pass this test.
There are other companies that cite
NFPA 701, Standard on Fire Tests for
Flame-Resistant Textiles and Films. This
Standard has some tough test methods
but the scope indicates that the tests
apply to draperies, curtains, shades,
table linens, wall hangings, tents,
awnings, tarps, and banners. Further,
the tests in the Standard are intended to
distinguish between materials that do not
spread flame rapidly versus
those that burn rapidly. The
scope specifically states
that the tests do not demonstrate
whether tested
materials resist propagation
of flame. NFPA 701 should
not be referenced relative to
protective clothing.
The general purpose vest
industry is unlikely to be
familiar with ASTM F2302,
since they have never
worked with First Responders
before (who have
Table of Contents
higher exposure and protection needs
than industry in general). This is a specification
for allowing manufacturers to
label “Protective Clothing” as flame and
heat resistant in the absence of other
standards. It uses the same flame and
heat resistance tests used in the fire and
emergency service Standards like NFPA
1971 and NFPA 1951. If Departments
want “FR,” they should specify ASTM
F2302.
5. Reliable thermal stability and
insulative performance under high
heat loading conditions
General use, high visibility products,
often shrink under thermal loading potentially
bringing heat load toward the body
and compressing underlying turnout
gear. Our First Responder High Visibility
Vest uses thermally stable material that
retains dimensionally unchanged even in
high heat conditions. While departments
may wish to remove the vest while doing
actual fire fighting, it may not always be
practical to do so due to time constraints,
proximity of fire to street, etc. (and there
is NO current exemption in 23 CFR 634
to forego use of vests even during active
fire fighting on a federal aid highway).
The First Responder High Visibility Vest
has been designed to allow such use
without compromising protection.
This photo shows no dimensional
changes, or loss of flexibility of the vest
material, at temperatures up to 500°F
for 5 minutes (NFPA 1971 oven test
conditions for Structural and Proximity
turnout clothing). As an additional
advantage,
higher temperatures
do discolor
the cloth, and
thus serve as
notice that the
fluorescence
has been compromised

the vest must be
replaced.

turnout clothing). As an additional
advantage, higher temperatures do
discolor the cloth, and thus serve as
notice that the fluorescence has been
compromised and the vest must be
replaced.
In addition to NFPA oven testing, the
vest base material offers competitively
unequalled performance in various other
tests of thermal stability and insulative
performance:
• Arc Thermal Protection Value (ATPV):
5.8 cal/cm 2 (ASTM F1506 requires a
value of 5.0 cal/cm 2 )
• Thermal Protective Performance (TPP)
with spacer: 10.8 cal/cm 2 (NFPA 2112
requires a value of
6.0 cal/cm 2 )
• Thermal Protective Performance (TPP)
without spacer 8.9 cal/cm 2 (NFPA
2112 requires a value of 3.0 cal/cm 2 )
• Flash Fire Exposure (Mannequin Test)
per ASTM F 1930, 3 second exposure:
Pass per NFPA 2112
• ASTM 70E HRC 1
• NFPA 2112 - Standard on Flash Fire
Protective Garments for Industry
If your department may, on occasion,
consider wearing the vest during fire
fighting, you may also wish to consider
SCBA high visibility tank covers so the

is not obscured by the bottle. Contact us

7. First Responser levels of durability
The First Responder High Visibility vest
has been designed to be simultaneously
very light and VERY durable. First response
work, like fire fighting, is heavy
and physical. A First Responder vest
must be strong enough to handle the
durability challenges that implies.
This vest offers material strength
numbers that are competitively unmatched
in such a light product:
• Tensile Strength (lbs, warp by fill) –
ASTM D5034 – 90 by 50
Table of Contents
• Elmendorf Tear Strength (lbs, warp
by fill) – ASTM D1424 – 7.0 by 6.0
Similarly, the material offers extremely

Training Cape
Aggressive training is vital to maximal
fire fighting preparedness and protection,
but can be tough on expensive
PPE. The increasing use of flashover
simulators can subject the shoulders
and upper torso area to repeated, high
thermal loading. Our training cape is
aluminized Pbi for maximal heat shielding
(quotes on other material capes also
available upon request).
Cape is cut to provide full frontal chest
and upper arm coverage. Cape also
provides protective coverage over SCBA
top.

Training Knee and
Thigh Protector
Knees and thighs take a lot of abuse
(and a lot of heat) during training.
The training knee is high durability
Kevlar ® (other materials or constructioning
may be custom quoted) and
attaches to the pants with adjustable
clipped straps. Since compressed
systems can be less insulative, training
centers may wish to consider this issue
with use (perhaps use during non high
heat protocols, etc).

General Sizing/Measuring Information
NOTE: When coat length, sleeve length, shoulder, back to waist, inseam, or crotch rise are not provided on an order, the
following standard sizing is supplied:
COATS Lengths: . . . . . . . .Tails coats have a standard length of 29” in front and 35” in the rear.
Traditional style coats have a standard length of 35”.
Sleeves: . . . . . . . . .Size 38” chest and under – 33” sleeve;
Size 40” to 42” chest – 33 1 ⁄2” sleeve;
Size 44” chest and above – 34” sleeve.
Shoulder: . . . . . . . .Standard shoulder is approximately 8” graded according to chest size.
Back to Waist: . . . .Standard measure is 20”.
PANTS Inseam: . . . . . . . . .Standard inseam is 30”.
Crotch Rise: . . . . .Standard rise is approximately 30” graded according to waist size.
Any non-proportional body measurements should be noted on your order so our cutting room may make allowances (i.e. larger than
normal biceps on a weight lifter). Please call our Customer Service Department for assistance with any fit challenges.
The following four points are important for proper fit and comfort:
Coat: *(Whenever possible use sizing samples)
Chest: Do not use the wristlet thumb attachments if your arms are
too long or too short for any sizing coat. Make sure the shoulders
and chest fit comfortably throughout a full range of motion.
Provide us the even chest size from label on the coat that fits best
in the shoulders and chest.
Body: Both arms should be raised overhead while bending in all
directions and the overlap of the composite to the waist of the
bunkers should be at least 2” in all positions.
Provide full body length in whole inches based on adding or
subtracting from body length on garment label (standard is 29”
front/35”rear).
Sleeve: Provide the full sleeve length in half inch increments by
adding or subtracting from the length on the fitting garment’s label.
When in doubt, measure using Method #2.
Pant:
*(Whenever possible use sizing samples pants w/30” inseams)
Waist: Make sure the fly fastens easily at the waist when donning
over your pants, belt and any items. Then go through a full
range of motion including squatting and climbing motions to make
sure there is room in the seat and thigh.
Provide us the even waist size from pant that fits best at the waist.

Sizing Instructions
1) Whenever you have any doubt, contact our Customer Service Department for advice.
2) We prefer to fit using sizing samples and some dealers have them on hand (see below). This allows for personal
fit preferences (that is, some people prefer a looser fit than measured but within safety guidelines).
3) Measuring works well also when done properly (see below and next 2 pages).
4) Female patterns are available when needed, but only a very small percentage are
actually ever needed. Remember, if in doubt call our Customer Service Department.

Measurement
If the pant you find comfortable in the waist is exceedingly full in the
seat and thighs, or the pant is comfortable in the seat and thighs
but too tight in the waist, call our Customer Service Department
and ask to speak to the Vice President of Production to get specific
instructions for that instance. Our computer generated cutting
patterns can provide all dimensional changes as needed.
Rise: Once you have found a comfortable pant in the waist, seat
and thigh; if the pant does not hit right at or immediately below the
belly button, remove the bunker pant and provide a rise measurement
as described in Method #2.
Inseam: For the inseam, use a tape/ruler and then provide the full
inseam length in whole inches by adding or subtracting from the
inseam length on the garment’s label. If available, cut the tops off
an old pair of large boots to slip into when determining the inseam.
Again, if in doubt, measure using Method #2.
Suspenders:
Make sure that the try-on samples have regular length suspenders.
If you take them all the way up and they are still too loose, or the
buckle hits your collar bone, order shorts. If you let them all the way
out and the crotch digs in uncomfortably when you squat, order
longs. When in doubt, measure as described below.
Never pull the measuring tape too tight.
Coat:
Chest Size: Arms should be at rest by their sides. Both an underthe-arm
and over-the-arm measurement should be taken at the
widest part of the chest/bust. Over-the-arm measurements are
particularly important on individuals with large muscular
development.
Provide both under- and over-the-arm measurements in whole
inches (see photos).
Shoulder Length: Particularly narrow/wide shoulders should be
measured from the base of the neck to the tip of the shoulder bone.
This measurement is most commonly taken on individuals with
very narrow shoulders and most often for female firefighters.
Provide shoulder length to the half inch.
Back Length: Measure from the shirt collar seam/C-5 vertebrae
to the height at which the bunker pant hits the lower back. This is
normally a point directly opposite the navel when viewed from the
side.
Provide back length in whole inches.
Sleeve Length: Measure with the upper arm parallel to the ground
and held straight out to the side and with the forearm bent at a right
angle to the upper arm. Measure from the center of the spine

following a horizontal line around the elbow to a point on the wrist
you wish the sleeve to reach. This is normally about one inch past
the wrist crease. Measure the sleeve length using the right arm for
right-handed people and the left arm for left-handed people.
Provide sleeve length to the half inch.
Other: If any areas on the individual such as neck, stomach, upper
arm or forearm are unusually large, provide any “Other” measurements
to the half inch.
Pants:
Waist/Hip: The physiological waist is at the navel, which is not necessarily
where you might wear your jeans or station pants. Morning
Pride bunker pants are designed to be worn at the physiological
waist and with the crotch in close proximity to the body. In order to
achieve this, the pants should be able to be held up by the cinching
of take-up straps which we recommend be specified at each hip. This
places the weight of the pants on the crest of the hip bones.
Measure the waist somewhat snugly at the bottom of the navel while
in your standard pants and belt. Hips should then be measured at
the widest point.
Provide waist/hip measurements in whole inches.
For individuals with very large lower abdomens in relation to their
hips and buttocks, or other body proportions well outside normal
dimensioning, call our Customer Service Department and ask to
speak to the Vice President of Production to get specific instructions
for that instance. Our computer generated cutting patterns can
provide all dimensional changes as needed.
Crotch Rise: Measure with station pants on and from the navel
down, under the crotch, then up to the same height on the lower
back (directly opposite the navel when viewed from the side).
Provide the crotch rise measurement in whole inches.
Inseam: Measure by having the individual being measured hold the
tape end at the top of the crotch while you read the tape end at the
floor. Measure to one inch below the protrusion of the bone at the
ankle. Slightly longer or shorter per individual preference is allowed,
but if it is too long they will drag on the ground and knee pads might
be out of position. Too short and they may ride up on the boot also
causing the knee pads to be out of position.
Provide full inseam measurement in one inch increments.
Suspenders:
Suspenders measuring should be done when wearing bunker pants.
Measure from between the left front suspender buttons, up and over
the left shoulder, then down and across the back to between the right
rear suspender buttons. For measurements less than 40 inches order
shorts. From 41” to 45” order regulars. From 46” to 50” inches order
longs.
Over 50”, provide the measurement in one-inch increments.
