LION Super-Deluxe Turnout

Reduces Coat Hem Rise & Sleeve Travel

Underarm bellows keep your protective envelope intact by reducing hem rise and sleeve travel. Football-shaped bellows are located in the armpits of the coat between the shoulder seam and torso on all three layers (outer shell, moisture barrier and thermal barrier). When you reach forward or overhead, the bellows expand. The expansion keeps other parts of the coat, such as the sleeve and body, from traveling and creating exposure.

Reduces Crotch Tension & Increases Leg Mobility

The elimination of crotch seams reduces tension to give added comfort to your turnout gear. On LION pants, a banded insert runs continuously from the top of the knee of one leg, through the crotch and to the top of the opposite knee. In addition to extending the useful life of your pants, it also provides a more comfortable fit. Increased leg circumference increases mobility.

Provides Greater Bent Knee Mobility & Comfort

The Freedom Knee enables a natural flexing motion. It provides a gusset that the knee can fall into when crawling, climbing, bending and kneeling. For added thermal protection, a layer of Lite-N-Dri™ cushioning is sewn into the liner at the knee. Another layer of Lite-N-Dri is included between the outer shell and the knee reinforcement. This also provides additional comfort when kneeling or crawling.

Provides Increased Arm Flexibility

The Freedom Elbow enables you to bend your arm freely and comfortably while keeping your wrists protected. It works in a similar fashion to the bellows underarm construction. A football-shaped insert is set at the back of the elbow. When your arm flexes, the insert expands to eliminate tugging at the sleeve or shoulder.
