graded in proportion to the chest size. For unrestricted movement, on the
underside of each sleeve there shall be two outward facing pleats located on
the front and back portion of the sleeve on the shell and thermal liner. On the
moisture barrier, the system will consist of two darts, rather than pleats, to
allow added length in the under sleeve. The moisture barrier darts will be
seam sealed to assure liquid resistance integrity.
The pleats shall expand in response to upper arm movement and shall fold in
on themselves when the arms are at rest. This expansion shall allow for
greater multi -directional mobility and flexibility in the shoulder and arm areas,
with little restriction or jacket rise.

the cuff to a point approximately 5 inches back, where it joins the sleeve well and
is double stitched to the shell. Four Ara -shield® snap tabs will be sewn into the
juncture of the sleeve well and wristlet. The tabs will be spaced equidistant from
each other and shall be fitted with female snap fasteners to accommodate
corresponding male snaps in the liner sleeves. One of the Ara -shield® snap tabs
shalt be a different color in the liner to correspond with color coded snap tabs for
ease of matching the liner system to the outer shell after inspection or cleaning is
completed. This configuration will ensure there is no interruption in protection
between the sleeve liner and wristlet.

ELASTICIZED WAISTBAND:
The pant design facilitates the transfer of the weight of the pant to the hips
instead of shoulders and suspenders. The two rear outer -shell body panels,
beginning at the pant side seams, shall incorporate an elasticized waist insert,
running from the side seam towards the back of the trouser for an approximate
distance of 4 inches. The rear elasticized waist inserts shall be integral to the
shell of the pant and the elasticized portions shall be covered by the outer shell
fabric of the pant.
The waist area of the pants shall be reinforced on the inside with a separate
piece of black aramid outer shell material, cut on the bias (diagonally) The
reinforcement shall be folded in half, for a finished bottom edge and shall have
a finished width of not less than approximately 1'/z inches. The top edge of the
waistband reinforcement shall be double stitched to the outer shell at the top of
the pants. The lower edge of the waistband shall be unattached to the shell to
accept the thermal liner and moisture barrier. The top of the thermal liner and
moisture barrier shall be secured to the underside of the waistband
reinforcement by means of nine snaps, spaced equidistant along the length of
the waistband reinforcement Inserting the liner system between the
waistband reinforcement and outer shell serves to reduce the possibility of liner
detachment while donning and doffing. The independent waistband
construction affords greater comfort and fit than a turned and stitched method.
53)
EXTERNAL / INTERNAL FLY FLAP:
The pants will have a vertical outside fly flap constructed of two layers of outer
shell material, with a layer of moisture barrier material sandwiched between.
The fly flap shall be double stitched to the left front body panel and shall
measure approximately 2 % inches wide, with a length graded to size based on
waist measurement and reinforced with bartacks at the base. An internal fly
flap constructed of one layer of outer shell material, thermal liner and specified
moisture barrier, measuring approximately 2 inches wide, with a length graded
to size based on waist, shall be sewn to the leading edge of the right front body
panel.
The underside of the outside fly flap shall have a 1'/ inch wide piece of FR
loop fastener tape quadruple stitched full length along the shell material only;
stitching shall not penetrate the moisture barrier insert between the two shell
fabric layers to insure greater thermal protection and reduced water
penetration. A corresponding strip of 1' inch wide piece of FR hook fastener
tape shall be quadruple stitched to the outside right front body panel securing
the fly in a closed position.
14of19
54)
CLOSURE:
Full Black Belt with Wide Belt Loops
Each pant shall include an approximate 2 inch wide belt constructed of aramid
webbing material with an adjustable hi -temp thermoplastic Delrin buckle
serving as the exterior primary positive locking closure. This buckle shall also
provide a quick -release mechanism for donning and doffing. The pants shall
be equipped with a series of black aramid material belt loops spaced around
the waist to accommodate the aramid belt.
There shall be three large loops measuring approximately 2 inches by 4 inches
and two smaller loops measuring approximately 1/2 inch wide by 3 1/2 inches
long. Two of the large belt loops shall be placed on each side of the front of
the pant and third on the rear of the waist, centered over the rear seam. The
two smaller loops shall be placed on the rear of the pant, behind the side
seams.
55)
ARTICULATED KNEE:
The outer shell of the pant legs shall be constructed with horizontal pleats in
the knee area with corresponding darts in the liner. In order to provide
increased freedom of movement and maximum flexibility, extra material is built
into the knee area and this additional fullness is contained by stitching down
the pleats on the inside of the shell. The knee reinforcement shall be installed
proportionate to the pant inseam, in such a manner that it falls in an
anatomically correct knee location.
The thermal liner shall be constructed with four darts per leg in the front of the
knee. Two shall be located above the knee (one on each side) and two shall
be located below the knee (one on each side). On the moisture barrier, the
system shall consist of two darts, rather than pleats, to allow added length in
the under knee. The darts in the liner provide a natural bend at the knee. The
darts in the liner work in conjunction with the expansion panels in the outer
shell to increase freedom of movement when kneeling, crawling, climbing
stairs or ladders, etc.
56)
LINER KNEE THERMAL ENHANCEMENT :
A minimum of one additional layer of specified thermal liner and one additional
layer of moisture barrier material, measuring a minimum of 9 inches by 11
inches, shall be sewn to the knee area of the liner system for added CCHR
protection and increased thermal insulation in this high compression area. The
knee thermal enhancement layers shall be sandwiched between the thermal
liner and moisture barrier layers of the liner system and shall be stitched to the
thermal liner layer only. The thermal enhancement layer shall have finished
edges by means of overedging. Raw or unfinished edges shall be considered
unacceptable. Thermal scraps shall not be substituted for full -cut fabric
padding.
