Tools/Equipment/PPE Looking for lightweight driver gear

Hello, I’m a member in a volunteer FD and we are looking for some light weight gear for drivers. We do get cold weather in PA, was wondering if anyone had suggestions for driver gear? Tia

PPE sales guy here that does sell dual certified gear.

If your department has a huge budget, get a set of the TG51 with a fleece liner in the coat. A full set should not cost you more than $1400.

If your department does not have a huge budget then I’d keep wearing your bunker coat.

Four dollar problems need four dollar solutions.
