Putting It On
Remember you don’t need
your mask quick-doff hood
with JSLIST (unless you have
type VII JSLIST). The jacket
has its own hood. And there is
a mask second skin that doesn’t
go as far down your neck and
works better with JSLIST. You
can order a small skin with
medium/large with NSN 4240-
01-413-1543.
If you have trouble securing
the
hook-and-pile
fasteners
for the hood, the drawstring is
probably too tight. Work out the
kinks in the drawstring to get as
much slack in the drawstring as
possible and try again.
Secure the bottom of the
hood fastener Frst and work
your way up. That way you’re
less likely to leave gaps.
Wash and Wear
You must keep track of how much you’ve worn your JSLIST, how long it’s been
out of the bag, and how many times you’ve washed it. If you forget, you may have
to forget about the suit’s protection.
The limit for wearing the suit is 45 days total and the limit for washing it is six
times. Once the suit leaves its sealed bag, it’s good for 120 days max.
Keep the suit in its clear plastic
bag when you’re not wearing it.
Make sure it’s dry before you put it
in the bag or you could end up with a
nasty case of mildew.
After any of these limits are
reached, the suit’s good only for
training
and
should
have
±OR
TRAINING ONLY stenciled on it.
Keeping track of the washings is
easy. Use an indelible pen to mark
the numbered box on the JSLIST
care label after each washing.
