Wear life of JSLIST jacket and trousers?

• A. 12 hours
• B. 24 hours
• C. 48 hours
• D. 72 hours

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how long you can safely wear the JSLIST jacket and trousers in a chemical or contaminated environment before its protection starts to degrade. The suit works with activated carbon and a moisture barrier to adsorb agents and block permeation, but those protective features have a finite usable life in actual use. As you move, sweat, and encounter contaminants, the adsorbent capacity diminishes and the barrier can become less effective, so the protective performance decreases over time. For field use, the maximum recommended wear life of the JSLIST jacket and trousers is 24 hours. After that period, you should remove, decontaminate or replace the suit, and inspect for any damage or contamination that would require earlier retirement. If the suit becomes damaged or contaminated, its protection ends immediately, regardless of the time worn.
