Over the years, turnout gear has improved, becoming lighter and more efficient at shielding radiant heat. Though, an often-overlooked improvement in turnout gear is the increased pocket space.

Not willing to let a good thing go to waste, firefighters have taken to stuffing every pocket they can find with a tool or item they can use.

Piece of firefighting equipment

At Darley, they’re constantly striving to bring them the practical, reliable equipment they deserve

Firefighters are a sentimental bunch, but also a group defined by experience. Every tool chosen comes with a story.

Whether they’ve chosen to always carry a shove knife, because of that one time a door wouldn’t budge, or a spanner wrench because they needed to shut a gas valve; every firefighter has a tool or tools they keep on hand.

At Darley, they’re constantly striving to bring them the practical, reliable equipment they deserve. They want to be the source for every piece of firefighting equipment they carry with them, and they’d really appreciate the feedback.
