A protective garment conforming to NFPA standards is combined with a measuring scale, which is displayed along a portion of the protective garment, such a sleeve, body, or leg, so as to facilitate taking a measurement, while the protective garment is being worn by a person. In a preferred mode for carrying out this invention, the measuring scale facilitates taking a measurement, while the garment of the combination is being worn by each person in a series of persons, to facilitate tailoring a similar garment for each person in the series of persons. In an alternative mode for carrying out this invention, the measuring scale facilitates taking a measurement, while the garment of the combination is being worn by just one person, to facilitate tailoring the garment of the combination to fit such one person.

A protective hood for a firefighter or for an emergency worker has a protective hood an outer shell and a liner. Further, the protective hood has an inspection port, which is openable and closeable and which when opened enables portions of the liner, between the liner and the outer shell, to be visually inspected. In some embodiments, the inspection port is located along a seam of the protective hood. In other embodiments, the outer shell has a flap, which is positionable between a position wherein the inspection port is closed by the flap and positions wherein the inspection port is not closed by the flap. In either embodiment, the protective hood may have hook-and-loop fasteners for releasable fastening elements of the protective hood releasably to one another so that the inspection port can be opened and can be closed.

In a protective glove for a firefighter, an emergency rescue worker, or another worker in a high-heat area, a leather face has a peripheral edge, a leather back has a peripheral edge, a leather forchette has a peripheral edge sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather face and a peripheral edge sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather back, and a heat-resistant cover made from an aramid or polybenzamidazole fabric has a peripheral edge sewn to the peripheral edge of the leather back. The heat-resistant cover covers the leather back so as to protect the leather back against direct exposure to high heat that would tend to shrink the leather back if the leather back were not protected by the heat-resistant cover.

A drag harness comprises an elongate, flexible member, which is connected end-to-end so as to define a large loop, and a drag grip, which is provided with a pair of tunnels. Through each of the tunnels, the elongate, flexible member passes so as to divide the large loop into two arm loops having the drag grip between the arm loops. The elongate, flexible member passes loosely therethrough, whereby relative sizes of the arm loops are variable.

For and in a protective garment having an outer shell, a liner having a barrier side and an opposite side and having, on the barrier side, a moisture barrier or a barrier against chemical or biological agents is folded along two folds, which are parallel when laid flat and straightened, so as to form a fin projecting from the opposite side. A seal providing a similar barrier is provided between the folds. A plural-part fastener, such as a snap fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener, is used to fasten the liner having the barrier to and within the outer shell. One part of the plural-part fastener is mounted to the liner and another part of the plural-part fastener is mounted to the outer shell. Moreover, the liner may have a barrier on each side and be similarly formed with a similar fin projecting oppositely, having a similar seal, and mounting one part of a similar fastener, whereby a thermal liner mounting another part of the similar fastener may be similarly fastened to and within the liner having the barriers.

In a protective ensemble for a firefighter or for an emergency rescue worker, a distal portion of a limb-covering, torso-covering, or head-covering region of a protective garment surrounds a portion of a protective item worn with the protective garment. A gasket extending around and inside of the distal portion of the limb-covering, torso-covering, or head-covering region and a gasket extending around and outside the surrounded portion of the protective item worn with the protective garment engage each other. A given one of the gaskets is magnetic and the other one of the gaskets is magnetically attractable. The magnetic gasket comprises a magnetic strip, which is covered by an elastomeric sleeve. The magnetically attractable gasket comprises a magnetically attractable strip, which is covered by an elastomeric sleeve.
