ABSTRACT:
A firefighter coat of the type having an outer shell, a moisture barrier and a thermal barrier includes a reservoir cuff which prevents liquid moisture from entering the open sleeve end of the coat and flowing between the moisture barrier and outer shell, and between the moisture barrier and thermal barrier. The reservoir cuff includes a reservoir member which is attached by a waterproof seal to the moisture barrier sleeve and extends to the end of the thermal barrier; the connections between the reservoir member, thermal barrier and moisture barrier being permanent and waterproof. The moisture barrier sleeve extends beyond the reservoir member and is attached to the outer shell at a hem which extends about the outer end of the shell. In the preferred embodiment, the moisture barrier sleeve connection with the outer shell is removable and is effected by hook and loop fasteners, one component of which extends about the inner periphery of the moisture barrier sleeve and the complementary component of which extends about the outer periphery of a hem attached to the outer shell. The thermal barrier sleeve preferably includes a ribbed cuff which extends outwardly passed the connection with the reservoir member so that the entire length of the wearer's arm is protected by the requisite layers of material.
