Firefighter Turnout Jacket
Premium Structural Firefighting Protection with Full Customization Options
The Poseidon PSRC118 Firefighter Turnout Jacket is engineered in accordance with NFPA 1971 structural firefighting standards, combining a 6.5 oz (183 g/m²) aramid fiber outer shell, a PTFE moisture barrier, and a quilted Nomex/FR-viscose thermal liner to deliver reliable thermal protection and breathability under extreme conditions. Designed as part of a complete procurement-ready solution, the PSRC118 offers a documented TPP of ≥ 35 cal/cm² with optional THL configurations of ≥ 205 W/m², giving departments the flexibility to balance thermal insulation with heat-stress management.
Beyond its construction, the jacket reflects Poseidon’s position as a long-term OEM and customization partner, providing procurement teams and distributors with scalable bulk supply, third-party testing and certification packages, and full customization of pocket layouts, branding, reinforcements, and departmental identification. By integrating performance data, compliance documentation, and lifecycle cost efficiency into a single garment platform, Poseidon ensures that departments and industrial brigades receive a turnout solution that is both technically verified and operationally adaptable.
Detail
The PSRC118 is built for the demands of interior structural firefighting, search and rescue, and overhaul operations, where garments must sustain repeated exposure to flame, radiant heat, and water without compromising mobility or comfort. Its aramid outer shell delivers flame and abrasion resistance while maintaining strength at elevated temperatures, and the PTFE membrane barrier prevents liquid penetration while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, reducing heat stress during extended deployments.
Inside the jacket, a quilted Nomex/FR-viscose liner provides thermal insulation and moisture management, creating a balance between protection and wearability over long shifts. To ensure durability, all seams are stitched with meta-/para-aramid threads, while closures rely on a YKK FR zipper and hook-and-loop storm flap system tested to withstand repeated donning and doffing in operational environments. For visibility, the jacket incorporates 2-inch yellow/silver 3M Scotchlite reflective trim compliant with NFPA 1971 requirements, while ergonomically engineered sleeves, gussets, and elasticized shoulder components support unrestricted motion during attack and rescue maneuvers. Practical features such as dual cargo pockets, a dedicated radio pocket, and integrated drainage ports reduce weight accumulation and allow firefighters to carry essential equipment efficiently. Reinforcements, Drag Rescue Device (DRD), and department-specific layouts are available through Poseidon’s customization program, aligning the jacket not only with international standards but also with each department’s operational procedures and procurement requirements.

The PSRC118 is specified for use in municipal fire departments conducting interior attack, search and rescue, and overhaul, as well as for industrial fire brigades operating in refineries, chemical facilities, and power-generation plants. For international procurement programs, the jacket is available in both NFPA and EN variants, enabling distributors to meet regional compliance requirements through a single supply channel. While the PSRC118 is aligned with NFPA 1971 for structural operations, Poseidon can also deliver NFPA 1976-compliant proximity gear for ARFF units and NFPA 1977 wildland gear for WUI teams, ensuring procurement officers can consolidate sourcing without compromising certification.
Performance has been validated in both laboratory and field environments. During live-burn evaluations, the PSRC118 demonstrated approximately 12% lower post-incident water weight retention compared with legacy turnout jackets, reducing fatigue and drying time. In a four-hour interior attack simulation, firefighters reported improved range of motion and reduced heat stress, confirming the garment’s TPP/THL balance under operational conditions. This combination of standardized compliance and field-proven performance gives procurement officers confidence that the PSRC118 delivers measurable value across both safety and lifecycle cost dimensions.
