5.11's innovative TDU Jumpsuit is based on end-user input

May 14, 2009

One of the most comfortable, durable and well-fitting jumpsuits in the Fire/EMS industry is 5.11's TDU Jumpsuit, which was created through frequent meetings with end-users. The resulting jumpsuit includes an adjustable waist and built-in belt-keepers for a more tailored fit, bi-swing shoulders for greater freedom of movement and back vents for easy air flow. To help you organize and store bulky gear, the jumpsuit incorporates 5.11's exclusive Back-Up Belt System compatible cargo pockets. You also get 5.11's patented hidden document pockets to stow gloves, data sheets and other essentials, plus front chest pockets with Velcro backed flaps for additional storage. 5.11's hardwearing TDU Jumpsuit has a double-layered seat, knees and elbows, and includes removable neoprene knee and elbow pads valued at $26. Each 5.78-oz. poly-cotton twill jumpsuit is Teflon -treated for stain, liquid and dirt resistance and is triple-stitched and bartacked throughout. Velcro closures at wrists and elbows, as well as ankle blousing straps complete this versatile garment. Priced from $109.99, 5.11's TDU Jumpsuit comes in black, dark navy and TDU green in chest sizes 34-60. Also available is 5.11's FLASH Jumpsuit (from $189.99), which offers many of the same features, but is made of high-tech 5.7-oz., 51% S.P. cotton and 49% FR-x3 modacrylic fire-retardant twill for added flash protection.
