The Darley Armor APM Gear Pants are high-performance firefighter turnout pants designed to deliver maximum protection, breathability, and mobility in extreme conditions. Built with advanced materials including Armor™ AP outer shell, Stedair® 3000 moisture barrier, and CoreCXP™ thermal liner, these pants help mitigate heat stress while maintaining durability through repeated use and washing. Engineered for comfort and flexibility, they are ideal for departments prioritizing health, safety, and operational efficiency.

Features

• Heat Stress Protection: The Stedair® 3000 moisture barrier and CoreCXP™ thermal liner work together to regulate body temperature by allowing internal vapor to escape while blocking external moisture.
• Durability Through Washing: Maintains thermal and structural performance after repeated laundering, with reinforced stitching and resilient materials that resist degradation.
• Lightweight Outer Shell: Armor™ AP shell weighs just 6.5 oz, reducing exertion and retained heat during extended wear.
• Ergonomic Mobility: Based on the Fire-Dex FXM pattern, the pants offer improved flexibility and movement, allowing firefighters to bend, kneel, and climb without restriction.
• Reinforced Knees: Foam-padded PCA-coated aramid knee patches (12" x 9") provide added protection and durability in high-impact zones.
• Secure Closure System: Zipper and hook & loop closure ensures a tight seal against heat, debris, and contaminants.
• Functional Storage: Dual full bellow pockets (10" x 10" x 2") offer ample space for tools and essentials.
• DexCuff System: Reverse tapered cuff with PCA coating enhances durability and prevents fraying.
• PFAS-Free Construction: Designed without intentionally added PFAS, supporting safer gear standards for firefighter health.
• Suspender System: Sewn direct hook & loop attachment with padded H-back suspenders and cam lock for secure, comfortable support.

How is it used?

These pants are worn during structural firefighting, rescue operations, and emergency response scenarios. They integrate with turnout coats and other PPE to form a complete barrier against heat, flame, and hazardous conditions. The ergonomic design and accessible pockets support fast, efficient movement and tool access in high-stress environments.

Who uses it?

Municipal fire departments, industrial emergency teams, and wildland response units rely on these pants for their balance of protection, breathability, and mobility. Especially suited for departments operating in high-heat or high-humidity regions where heat stress is a major concern.

Maintenance information

The pants are machine washable following standard care guidelines. They withstand repeated laundering without degradation of thermal or moisture barrier performance. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-temperature drying. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended. Routine inspection and cleaning are essential to maintain optimal performance.

Storage information

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Hang the pants to preserve shape and prevent compression of thermal layers. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or contaminants. Do not store in sealed plastic containers, which can trap moisture and degrade materials over time.
