It is what my department is using curently, because the cheif is freinds with the local distributor. Gear is Gear it all comes from the same begining Dupont, Southern Mills, Gore, And 3M. the differences are how it is put together and who put there name on the final product. I beleive most departments are using the brand they are using because of the price it cost when the bids came in.

I use to be a diehard for Globe turnouts. Departments I have been with over the past 10 years have used Morning Pride. I find little difference between the brands I have used. I tend to agree with hfd70c3's comments, all things being equal, it often comes down to low bid.

I give it a 4. They have really figured out how to stitch it all together to give you the MOST maneverabillity. I've been wearing it for 10 years now and just gotten used to how well I can move. I have some globe gear at my part time gig and it does not allow me to move around near as well....in short...it sucks, but with morning pride you can have a total custom fit that I think will reduce your chance of burns. The one down size that I can think of is that it really seems to be a little heavier (with all the new harnesses etc...)....hmmm...maybe I need to reduce my tool box in my pockets?...nah!!

Nice fit, light weight and seems to hold up well.

i put 3 because its the best by weight, maneuverability and yes it does repell alot of heat but thats part of the problem. This turnout gear is getting better n better every time they come out with a new line that its jsut making us think we are able to stay in there longer n longer hence not realize piossible hazards such as flashover or whatnot. I love the gear to death im currently on my 3rd set but thats just something to keep a heads up about. Kudos to morning pride

I love my turnout gear! I believe our department partly decided on this brand of turnout due to the bloodborne pathogen resistance. We have a pretty good sized stretch of a 4 lane state highway in our area, hence quite a few MVC's. Of course there's always the bottom line, any PPE is better than none.

I just wish the coat was zippered.

Best gear around. Our dept. has expermented with other brands, but continues to use this gear based on several facts. one being the life of the gear seems to last forever.
