How long does Nomex last in Firefighter turnouts?
Looking for the lifespan of Nomex that is used in Structural Firefighter turnouts? Have a turnout coat that is 20 years old and pants that are 15 years old.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publishes a standard, 1971 Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural Firefighting and Proximity Firefighting. This standard recommends that turnout gear be replace every five years unless it has sustained damage beyond repair. Since the turnout gear is what will protect you from the fire, I wouldn’t recommend going beyond the five years. Just like anything man-made, it has a service life and it will break down over time, even if it isn’t used. I enjoy being a firefighter, and while my job may be hazardous, I won’t take any chances when it comes to my personal safety.
