BETTER DURABILITY
Most firefighters agree longevity in turnout gear comes from better tear strength. While some try to spin abrasion as the most important indicator of durability, turnout gear isn’t retired from holes due to abrasion. Turnout gear is retired when it starts ripping and tearing as a result of “wear and tear” and UV degradation.
