ABSTRACT:
A firefighter's garment having a double wristlet sleeve and cuff structure. The garment has full length sleeves. The garment, including the sleeves, has a plurality of layers: an outer layer, which is a flame resistant layer, an intermediate layer, which is a moisture barrier layer, and an inner layer, which is a thermal barrier layer. A cuff member of moisture barrier material is positioned at the end portion of each sleeve and extends directly from at least one of the layers. A wristlet or seal member is encompassed by the cuff member and is adapted to snugly encompass the wrist of the firefighter who wears the garment. Another wristlet or seal member is positioned between the cuff member and the outer layer. The wristlets or seal members are preferably of thermal barrier material. Thus, the sleeve and cuff structure protects the firefighter against movement of fluids and hot embers and other debris to the wrist and arm of the firefighter.
