LA City or County Firefighters...what kind of gear do you wear?

[phyrngn]

I am doing a research project on Structural PPE worn by major FDs. I noticed that some California Firefighters wear a "lighter" looking set of structural gear with zippered legs and a coat with a "mask bag" for thier SCBA facepiece. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the brand name, model number, etc of this gear and where it can be obtained. Thanks for your help.

L.A. County uses "Lion" "Body Guard" structural turnouts, hardly "light". The zipper on the leg only facilitates a widening for boots, but id fully protected. You may have seen our brush gear which is somewhat lighter. Hope this helps.
