The ESS FirePro Series low-profile goggles are optimized for wildland firefighting. Adapted from the ESS Profile NVG, the most widely used military goggle in the world, ESS FirePro goggles feature a compact frame designed for maximum peripheral vision and minimal interference with other operational equipment. Combined with the patented ESS Speed-Clip strap system, the end result is a lightweight goggle that provides optimum compatibility and function with wildland fire helmets. All ESS FirePro goggles are compliant with wildland fire equipment performance requirements, including the NFPA 350°F for five-minute oven test, ANSI Z87.1+ and OSHA. The full-perimeter ventilation and filtration system minimizes lens fogging while filtering airborne particles. The extra-thick, 2.8mm ballistic polycarbonate lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. Advanced ESS ClearZone FlowCoat lens treatments provide the ideal combination of anti-scratch protection on the outside of the lens and fog resistance on the inside. For those with prescription eyewear needs, the nylon-framed ESS P-2B Rx Insert fits inside any FirePro goggle as well as any ESS ICE eyeshield. www.esseyepro.com

The Dual-Compliant BDU Pants provide exceptional comfort with proven durability while being certified for both NFPA 1975 (stationwear) and 1977 (wildland). The uniform pant can go directly to the fireline in a single-layer garment, eliminating the cost of an NFPA 1977-compliant overpant. CrewBoss Dual-Compliant pants also eliminate the need for a second-layer garment, which greatly reduces the risk of heat stress to the firefighter. With a uniform that is certified by the NFPA for both station and wildland fire duty, interface firefighters can work more effectively and still feel great while always being ready for the next WUI call. Pants are available in twill navy blue and black, Nomex IIIA. http://crewboss.westernshelter.com
