1. TRIMTRAX™ Thread Protection System (Patented)Our patented system of abrasion resistant KEVLAR® cording protects the thread securing our reflective trim from abrasion. Lasts longer than conventional trim stitching so maintenance costs are lower and your gear is in service more often.
2. Internal harness
Now REAXTION™ pants are available in a version with an internal Class II seat harness meeting NFPA 1983: Standard on Fire Service Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services, 2006 Edition. Called IH Pants, they include a built-in harness system that is easy to use with hidden and lightweight KEVLAR® leg loops between the shell and the liner without the need for any hardware. Just put your pants on, buckle the waist buckle, and you are ready to attach the rope and hardware of your choice. Best of all, the new IH Pants almost make it seem like you're not wearing a harness at all. Please note that the Series 1 and Series 2 IH Pants are shown with the closure that will be provided as standard. However, you have the option of specifying a hook & dee ring on the Series 1 or a metal buckle on the Series 2 Harness Systems. We build our gear your way!
3. AXTION™ Knee (Patented)
Horizontal pleats built into the shell and corresponding darts in the AXTION™ liner on the front of each leg provide extra length where you need it for stepping up, sitting down, kneeling or crawling. The fronts of the legs are wider than the back to provide more fullness over the knee where you want it and less bulk under the knee where you don't. Side seams are rolled toward the back of the legs keeping them out of the primary abrasion area. Together with the AXTION™ seat and liner, this system allows you to bend your knees without restriction.
4. Cargo and Rope Pockets
The 2" x 10" x 10" full bellows style pockets have an extra layer of shell material to reinforce the lower half for longer wear life. One includes internal hook and loop straps to secure and store rope and hardware at the ready. Order on either the right or left side.
5. Optional SILIZONE™ Foam Knees
Knees can be padded with SILIZONE™ foam padding to make crawling almost heavenly. The SILIZONE™ padding is installed on the outer shell as standard, but can also be installed on the liner system if you prefer.
6. Adjustable Belt Closure
Helping to make IH Pants fit like a pair of jeans, to transfer weight to your hips instead of your shoulders, and to keep the added length and fullness in the seat under control, the pants are secured with an attached belt with an adjustable metal buckle. A vertical hook and loop storm fly makes for fast and secure donning.
7. Independent Stretch Waistband
2" wide and lined with water resistant fabric, the waistband is cut on the bias (diagonally) for stretch and an unrestricted fit. Liner attaches under the waistband for no-gap protection.
8. Liner Access Opening
An access opening in the liner hidden under the front waistband allows you to check out the condition of the moisture barrier and thermal barrier when you need to.
9. Diamond Crotch Gusset
Distributes fabric stress over five double-stitched seams in both the shell and liner.
10. Cuff Reinforcement
Cuffs are reinforced with an extra layer of your choice of materials, double-stitched for extended wear.
11. Reverse Boot Cut on Pant Legs
Pant legs are 1" shorter in the back to avoid premature cuff wear.
12. Women's Sizes
Available in a full range of patterns designed especially for the female firefighter.
13. Padded H-Back Rip-Cord Suspenders
Suspenders attach to horizontal loops sewn to the top of the waistband so that there is no metal hardware to dig in to your waist or get caught up. H-Back design stays on your shoulder; rip-cord hardware allows easy adjustment and quick release. Integral padded shoulder straps.
14. AXTION™ Liner (Patented)
The liner has darts in both the thermal and moisture barriers corresponding to the added length in the shell provided by the AXTION™ knee. The liner has a reverse boot cut in the back and a concave cut in the front to keep the liner from hanging below the shell, and is connected at the cuff with 2 snap tabs for security.
15. Double-Stitched Seams
The strongest double-needle joining seams in the industry with more stitches per inch for longer service life.
16. Flame-Resistant Hook and Loop Fastener
Hook and loop fastener is specially treated for flame resistance and attached with quadruple stitching at all primary closures.
17. Reflective Trim and Lettering
We offer a wide choice of trim styles and materials to meet your visibility and identification requirements.
18. AXTION™ Seat (Patented)
When you bend your knees, IH Pants allow for the added length and fullness you need in the seat. Not only can you step up without restriction, but when you kneel your knees are directly over the knee pads without any twisting of the leg. When you try on a pair, you'll immediately appreciate just how dramatic this difference is.
19. Thermally-Enhanced Knee
An extra layer of your specified thermal liner and moisture barrier in the liner knee adds padding for comfort and protects this high compression area.
