It may make the pants more comfortable if
you don’t hook up the two velcro waist straps,
but that leaves the straps dangling. They can
catch on something and break the JSLIST’s
seal.
Always
connect the waist straps.
The AFS is a lightweight chemical and biological agent protective overboot made
of compounded butyl rubber. It should provide 24 hours of protection when exposed
to chemical agents in liquid, vapor or aerosol form. AFS can be worn for 45 days
with all current and future chemical/biological clothing.
AFS has an anti-slip, ridged tread pattern for better traction and a slip coat treatment
on the inside of the boot for easier donning and dof±ng. The boots have three sets of
buttons with butyl rubber straps to secure the boots.

Make sure the JSLIST hood seats around
the top of the mask second skin just above the
eye lens and on the mask’s bottom over the
ridge of the second skin. Be careful when you
place the hood over the mask not to hit the
straps’ buckles. That could loosen the mask
and hurt its seal.
