Being reversible, a protective garment for a military or paramilitary firefighter or emergency worker has a shell of high visibility and a shell of low visibility. The shell of high visibility has portions that are reflective, fluorescent, or both, which the shell of low visibility does not have. When facing outwardly, the shell of low visibility appears black, or at least dark, in ambient light or displays camouflage. Except that the shell of low visibility does not have any reflective or fluorescent portions, the shells conform to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for outer shells of protective garments for firefighters. The shells are equal, or at least similar, in basis weights.

For a military or paramilitary firefighter or emergency worker, a protective garment has an outer shell, an inner liner providing thermal insulation, and a moisture barrier between the outer shell and the inner liner. The outer shell has a surface of high visibility and a surface of low visibility and is reversible. The outer shell has reflective trim on the surface of high visibility but not on the surface of low visibility. The inner liner and the moisture barrier are attachable detachably to the outer shell so as to be wearable within whichever surface becomes an inner surface of the outer shell. The protective garment with the surface of high visibility facing outwardly and with the inner liner and the moisture barrier worn within the outer shell conforms to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1971 standard for “Protective Clothing for Structural Fire Fighting.”

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.

A thermal imaging camera, which is mounted to a protective helmet, is used with a display, which has a viewing lens, and with an arm, which connects the thermal imaging camera to the display. A protective shroud covers the display, except for the viewing lens, and covers the arm. The protective shroud, which is aluminized so as to be heat-reflective and which is thermally insulative, is attached to or is unitary with another protective shroud, which covers surfaces of the thermal imaging camera.

A drag harness made from strapping, possibly a single length of strapping, comprises two arm loops and a drag loop, which is joined, as by being sewn or by being riveted, to the arm loops at a common juncture. Each of the arm and drag loops has a fixed length. The drag loop is adapted to extend above the shoulders of the wearer and behind the head of the wearer, if the wearer is standing, whereby a rescuer grasping the drag loop can drag the wearer, via the drag harness, if the wearer is lying in a supine position. Thus, the drag grip, the common juncture, or both are adapted to support the head of the wearer, when the wearer is being dragged, via the head harness, while the wearer is lying in a supine position.

A drag harness made from strapping, possibly a single length of strapping, comprises two arm loops of a fixed length and a drag loop of a fixed length, which is joined, as by being sewn or by being riveted, to the arm loops at a common juncture. The arm loops are made from a single length of strapping and the drag loop is made from a separate length of strapping made of a flame-resistant material. The drag loop is adapted to extend above the shoulders of the wearer and behind the head of the wearer, if the wearer is standing, whereby a rescuer grasping the drag loop can drag the wearer, via the drag harness, if the wearer is lying in a supine position. Thus, the drag grip, the common juncture, or both are adapted to support the head of the wearer, when the wearer is being dragged, via the head harness, while the wearer is lying in a supine position.

A protective garment having a collar has a chinstrap attached to the collar via an elongate member having two opposite ends, each of which is attached to the collar and one of which is attached detachably to the collar via a hook-and-loop fastener. The chinstrap is adjustable along the elongate member to any on a range of adjusted positions of the chinstrap along the elongate member. Preferably, the elongate member is a strap, which or at least a portion of which is elastic, and the chinstrap has a hem, through which the elongate member passes.

In a combination wherein a thermal imaging camera having a front lens is mounted to a protective helmet, such as a firefighter's helmet, where the thermal imaging camera is not covered from above by any portion of the protective helmet, wherein a display is mounted below the front area of the brim, and wherein an arm connects the thermal imaging camera to the display, a shroud, which is aluminized so as to be heat-reflective, is adapted, when secured to the protective helmet, to cover the exposed top, side, and front surfaces of the thermal imaging camera, except for a front opening for the front lens and except for a bottom opening, through which the display and the arm connecting the thermal imaging camera to the display can pass when the shroud is being installed.

In a pair of protective trousers having a fly, in which a flap extending from a first edge of a torso-covering portion covers a second edge thereof in a closed condition of the fly but not in an opened condition of the fly and in which the first and second edges are secured releasably to each other, as by a hook-and-loop fastener, in the closed condition, a gusset extends along and between the first and second edges, in the opened and closed conditions.

A protective combination wearable by a firefighter or by an emergency worker comprises a face mask, a fluid-impervious protective hood, and a fluid-impervious, elastomeric gasket. The face mask has a face-conformable gasket and a transparent window projecting from the face-conformable gasket. The protective hood has a peripheral edge, to which the elastomeric gasket is attached. The elastomeric gasket is adapted, when the protective combination is worn, to be tightly drawn against the face mask, along the face-conformable gasket, and to allow at least a substantial portion of the transparent window projecting from the face-conformable gasket to project through the elastomeric gasket. A preferred material for the elastomeric gasket is neoprene.
