Abstract: An improved suspender support arrangement for firefighter's trousers provides more even support for the inner liner and the outer shell of turnout pants. First fasteners, buttons or studs in two illustrated embodiments, are secured to the waist area of the inner liner of the turnout pants for receiving loop fasteners of a set of suspenders. Second fasteners, buttons or sockets in the two illustrated embodiments, are secured to the waist area of the outer shell of the turnout pants at a plurality of locations therearound. The second fasteners are aligned with and receive the first fasteners such that the set of suspenders supports both the inner liner and the outer shell of the turnout pants. In a third embodiment, suspenders are affixed to the inner liner which is in turn removably attached to the outer shell. The apparatus ensures that the turnout pants include an inner liner since the set of suspenders cannot be secured to the turnout pants without an inner liner.

Abstract: A firefighter pant support system for use with firefighter pants having an outer sheel of a fire and moisture resistant material and an inner liner of a heat resistant material wherein the inner liner is removable from the outer shell. The support system includes a vest member having a body preferably made of a heat-resistant open mesh, and a waistband having a plurality of button holes for receiving fasteners, such as buttons or fastener studes, such that the vest member supports the pant liner and outer shell when worn by a user. In an alternate embodiment, the vest member is stitched permanently to the liner to make a jump pant. The vest member distributes the weight of the pant liner and pant shell over a broader area than conventional suspenders, provides a layer of thermal protection for the upper body of the wearer and can carry reflective trim detectable when the wearer removes his firefighter coat.
