I thought that it had been in trial for some time. Last reports I read (a year or so ago) seemed to lean towards the Nomex Delta C w/liners option rather than the PBI. Although this may be incorrect as I see the MFB trialling the PBI uniform. I would imagine that MFB/CFA would jointly make a decision.
