I wear one on a day to day basis with Mets. they are as good as turnout gear, depending on wether you get the long or short sleeve's they are 100% cotton and proban treated ours are blue button up fronts with yellow and silver stripping on the pants and waist/sleeves of the shirts only thing is wearing them in the office like now for example. they get pretty warm not hot but warm... try the below website link that might help you out a bit. as for the do's and dont's well same as your normal proban turnout gear.... it's either 25 or 40 washes then you may as well throw them away and get a new set as the proban will have washed away. primarily we deal with RCR and it's very suitable for this application provided your wearing the long sleeved version same with wildfire it would be ideal for this purpose, thats about it. when it comes to Urban Firefighting then the PBI Gold level 3 gear is the way to go.
