When the call comes in, there’s no time for hesitation. Every second counts, every motion matters. That’s why LION built the V-Force® turnout gear to match the demands of the Occupational Athlete—you.
You don’t just fight fires. You climb, crawl, lift, drag, carry, break through, and rescue. You're constantly moving in high-stress, high-risk environments. And if your gear doesn’t move with you, it holds you back. That’s where the V-Force difference comes in.
V-Force turnout gear was engineered around a core truth: mobility is not optional. Every feature is purpose-built to support natural, unrestricted movement—because your performance, safety, and endurance depend on it.
Here’s how V-Force sets the standard for mobility in turnout gear:
Unlike traditional turnout coats that fight your movements, the V-Force coat features contoured sides and strategic seam placement to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points—especially where SCBA straps can dig in. The result: gear that moves as you do, without the bunching, binding, or fatigue.
From the V-Fit Elbows and Raglan Sleeves in the coat, to the V-Fit Knees and Contoured Pant Legs, every angle is shaped to mirror the way your body naturally bends and flexes. You get full range of motion without resistance—whether you’re reaching above your head or crawling through debris.
LION fused the best of military-grade durability with professional sportswear flexibility. The Radial Inseam and Bi-Swing Back designs give you the freedom to move under load, while reinforcements like Lite-N-Dri™ Cushioning and PCA knee patches protect without adding bulk.
LION’s patented IsoDri® Moisture Management System keeps gear drier and lighter during action and recovery. Less water retention means less weight dragging you down—and less risk of heat stress, especially on long calls in hot conditions.
Not all firefighters are built the same. V-Force understands that. That’s why it offers multiple pant styles—from Ultra Low-Rise to High-Back to Lumbar Support options—so you can find the fit that works for your build, your preferences, and your job.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all. This is gear that fits your body like a teammate, not a burden.
Mobility doesn't come at the cost of protection. The RedZone™ Contaminant Control Features can be integrated into V-Force gear at the time of purchase or can be retrofitted. RedZone includes UL-verified particulate-blocking zones at every gear interface—from the hood and wrist to the boot and core. You get full mobility and full protection, right where you need it most.
As an Occupational Athlete, you train hard, push your limits, and show up when others can’t. Shouldn’t your gear do the same?
The V-Force turnout system is the edge you need to stay fast, stay focused, and stay protected. Because when it’s your job to move through fire, your gear should never slow you down.
