Overall I Am Not That Concerned Cause If I Think Something Is Risky Enough That I Need The New PBI I Won't Put Myself In That Suitation.

You already have, twice!

Agreed. ^

-And Blinky, if your not CABA then no, you do not need the gear, as you should not be fighting an internal attack of a structure fire. - However, the gear will far out do proban and nomex even for thermal heat capabilities which you would be exposed to on the out side of a fully involved structure fire.

I believe it is currently the best gear out there, finally a volunteer agency is leading the way for all other volunteer agencies in the country with this turnout gear ! Heck, Paid fulltime services wouldn't buy it if it wasn't up there with the current best !

However, not being BA, I don't think you would have bucklies chance getting it.

how funny is this , went to a structure fire the other day in the new pbi gold, salisbury mfs were busy so we got Elizabeth and golden grove , and the comments from these guys about how WE ( being cfs) are just trying to look more like mfs with pbi gold!, so i dont give to S**ts what or who i look like as long as i go home to my family at the end of the job.

this is not the view of all mfs i know, but once again its a small few that stuff it up.

Ease of Care: PBI blend garments can be home laundered; dry cleaning is not necessary.

Quoted Straight From The PBI Gold Site.

Lion don't dry clean them anyway, they just have big washing machines... The advantage with Lion being that they fully inspect the suit as well as washing it...

But I Think Us The Wearers Should Have A Good Idea If Anything Is Wrong With Them, We Should Be Checking Our Gear Reg To Make Sure Its In Working Order.

BINGO......this man WINS

Couldnt have put it better myself

Firefrog · « **Reply #69 on:** August 30, 2006, 01:38:14 PM »

Yes the wearer should know if anything is wrong but Lion inspect and repair any tiny problems before they get worse and certify the garment fit for use. Sounds like the best option to me!

Scania_1 · « **Reply #70 on:** September 17, 2006, 02:11:40 PM »

There are only 2 things I dont like about the Lion gear.
1-You get pretty toasty in no time when its a warm day.
2-No fly on the pants.lol. The nomex was great when you needed to go you just ripped the velcro open. With the PBI you pretty much have to take the whole filtered lot off to relieve yourself. But I guess its a necesary evil when the gear has to be Oz standard and resistant to flashover etc.

Firefrog · « **Reply #71 on:** September 17, 2006, 02:35:52 PM »

You must be wearing the SAMFS build of pants the SACFS build has a fly

Scania_1 · « **Reply #72 on:** September 22, 2006, 03:38:46 PM »

Maybe the CFS gear is mark 2 design. Apparently they have moved the portable radio tabs and holder on the jacket.

Here's one, at our AGM the other night we copped a warning from our GO that PBI Gold shouldn't be kept in peoples private vehicles because if they are stolen the CFS will hold the person issued with the gear liable and make them pay for the replacment of it. Aparently 3 pairs have already been nicked.

Should we really be keeping PBI in our cars anyway, I'm guessing the main reason people are taking it home is to respond to incidents direct, this is something I am against anyway but with the known issues of sunlight severely decreasing the life of these garments why are we allowing this to occur.

I know that there will be times when you are heading out to training etc when the gear should go home but I don't really see that people should be keeping this gear in the car. MFS have had to redesign all of their stations to store the gear out of direct sunlight, maybe we should take note.

Except of course brigades that have sheds so small we cant even keep a pair of boots in it - have to walk sideways past the vehilces, so we must bring our gear with us for avery call out. Also, I respond to 3 brigades, so go straight from work or home to either my own or their station, so no time to go to my station, and then to another - time, time, time!!!

three brigades......... your a bit too keen.
