ABSTRACT:
The invention consists of a firefighter's garment in which the exhaled air or other gas from the firefighter's SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) is delivered to the air space between adjacent layers of the garment. The relatively cool exhaled air is forced under pressure into the garment's air space to cool garment and lower the heat stress on the firefighter. In the preferred embodiment, the garment includes spacer elements extending the length of the coat located between adjacent layers to create channels into which the exhaled air is forced. The spacer elements maintain spacing between the adjacent layers facilitating the flow of air through the garment. Alternatively, the air or other gas can be delivered to the garment from a canister or directly from the SCBA.
