DAYTON, Ohio — Honeywell announced several ergonomic and safety refinements to its TAILS Morning Pride turnout gear. The new coat and pant ensemble retains the classic design of the original, but has been re-engineered using advanced patterning technology to provide a better fit, new features, and allow more range of motion and protection.

The newest edition of TAILs gear has been tailored to provide firefighters with a greater range of motion. The coat’s neck and collar have been reshaped to fit securely on the firefighter’s neck, distributing its weight evenly across the shoulders. The circumference of the armholes and sleeves has also been adjusted.

The pants will offer an improved fit, thanks to adjustments made in fly length, pant rise and pant grading for better interface with fire boots. New DRY Super Flex Heat Channel patterning incorporated at the knee will also offer increased mobility.

The TAILs turnout gear has been ergonomically redesigned for increased arm, shoulder and leg mobility, and comfort through the shoulder and neck. These enhancements added to the existing TAILS design will provide smaller and larger firefighters with greater comfort, mobility and safety on the fireground.

TAILs is used by over 50 percent of the top 100 municipal firefighting departments in the United States and Canada. The gear has won widespread acceptance for its distinctive design, which reduces excessive overlap at the front of the coat and adds length to the back, significantly improving mobility in the front and maximizing protection in the back.
