MAY 8, 2026 | MARKETING CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

Firefighting environments demand uncompromising protection, performance, and reliability. The LION V-FORCE® EVO™ Structural Turnout Gear represents the next generation of premium turnout solutions, purpose built for firefighters who spend extended time operating in their gear. More than an incremental update, V-FORCE EVO reflects a thoughtful evolution in turnout design, focused on improving how gear performs under real world conditions while maintaining full NFPA compliant protection.

At the center of this innovation is a mobility driven approach that prioritizes how firefighters move on the fireground. V-FORCE EVO is engineered to support natural motion, whether crawling, climbing, reaching, or operating on air, through a balanced, centered design that reduces unnecessary strain and enhances overall performance. The result is turnout gear that works in sync with the wearer, helping to minimize fatigue and maximize focus during demanding operations.

Key Benefits 

LION's V-FORCE® EVO™ is built around a mobility focused design that reflects how firefighters actually operate on the fireground. By supporting natural movement, the gear allows for a more fluid range of motion with less restriction. This is reinforced by a balanced, centered fit, where strategic weight distribution helps reduce strain and improve stability, particularly during extended wear and high intensity scenarios. 

Designed for Performance Under Pressure 

To further enhance performance, V-FORCE EVO incorporates a streamlined construction that reduces bulk and minimizes unnecessary distraction. By eliminating excess material and optimizing how the gear moves with the body, firefighters can remain focused on the task at hand without interference. This thoughtful design approach contributes to improved comfort and efficiency, especially during long, demanding incidents where every movement matters. In addition to mobility and comfort, V-FORCE EVO delivers all day performance backed by NFPA compliant protection. Engineered for durability and reliability, the gear maintains its protective integrity while supporting extended operational use from the first call to the last. The result is a turnout solution that not only meets industry standards, but also advances how protection, performance, and wearability come together on today’s fireground.

LION V-FORCE EVO is more than new gear; it is a new standard. With a focus on movement, balance, and real-world performance, it is designed to support firefighters when it matters most. Less restriction. Less distraction. More focus where it belongs.
