Branching out from our usual design focus of skiing, climbing, hiking, and military clothing, Beyond has been chosen by California wild land firefighters to design their new Wild Land Fire Fighting uniform. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, the yet to be determined suite of garments will include new fabrics developed for the needs of WLFF making sure their brave men and women stay safe.
Scott Jones noted in a meeting recently that "taking our expertise in technical clothing yet allowing the garments to also have a dressed uniform look, and meet all flame retardent requirements, has been the biggest challenge. Similar to playing the piano well, and quiet. Its been fun."
