Jacket and pants recommendations - Page 2

I really liked my Sparco single-layer stuff, but I replaced it with Pro1.

The Pro1 waistband is great. Snap closure and velcro adjustable sizing.

I can definitely see an argument against snaps on a firesuit but if you're in a situation where that's a problem, it's just one more of many problems.

Don't know which are lighter,but I hav Pro1 harness,jacket,and pants. I love the pants because they have 2 snaps and velcro side straps so I can snug them up after I get them on my fat *****.

Sorry I didn’t update sooner but I ended up with Racequip jacket and pants. I bought the Chevron version multiple layer. They are lighter, softer and much more comfortable than my old stuff even when those did fit. I’m also impressed that even with being multiple layer Nomex they are not nearly as unbearable to wear in100 degree heat unlike my old stuff. Doug

You just have to contact Jerome Beaulieu from PRO1safety in Canada for all your needs and his list of Canadian distributors.

I'm guessing that this thread was brought back by a bot or something? I mean, someone is suddenly sorry to hear about Doug Domm's pants and jacket dilemma from 2 years ago?

I don't know anything about this bot (or whatever) stuff. What is the angle? There's nothing to click on in the post.
