Abstract:
An improved hazardous duty garment system includes an abrasion-resistant, flame-resistant and heat-resistant outer shell, a moisture barrier attached inside the outer shell, and a thermal liner attached to the outer shell and the moisture barrier. The thermal liner includes at least one layer of thermal insulation attached to a layer of a metal screen thermal barrier. The metal screen layer may be made from a plurality of panels and fitted closely together, or a plurality of shingles. The metal screen panels are individually removable and replaceable. The metal screen provides superior heat dissipation properties and superior tolerance of direct heat.
