oint service lightweight integrated suit
technology (JSLIST) can do a terrifc job
oF protecting you, but only iF you put it on
correctly. IF you leave gaps in the suit or
miss a strap, you’ve missed out on vital
protection. Here are some JSLIST tips
that will suit you right:
Secure ALL the straps.
The pants
may
be
more
comFortable
iF
you
don’t hook up the two hook-and-loop
waist straps, but that leaves the straps
dangling where they can catch on
something and break the JSLIST’s seal.
IF the pants suspenders are too long
even aFter you adjust them, cross them
to take up the slack.
When you take oFF JSLIST, make sure
to frst unhook the suspenders beFore
you take oFF the blouse. Otherwise, you
can damage the blouse.
Lock up barrel lock.
IF the barrel
lock comes loose, the hood won’t stay
tight. Make sure its button points out. IF
it points in, the mask can bump it and
cause it to unlock. Once the barrel lock
is locked, tie a bow below it (it’s easier
iF your buddy does it). That way iF the
drawstrings are jerked, the barrel lock
itselF won’t be jerked and broken.
Get a good seal with the mask.
Make sure the JSLIST hood seats
around the top oF the mask’s second
skin just above the eye lenses and just
below the outlet valve. Once the hood
is properly positioned, then tighten the
hood drawstring.
Work out the kinks.
IF you can’t
secure the hook-and-loop Fasteners For
the hood, the drawstring is probably too
tight. Have your buddy work out the
kinks in the drawstring to get as much
slack in the drawstring as possible.
It’s better to secure the bottom oF the
hood Fastener frst and then work your
way up. That way you’re less likely
to leave a gap. Look up while you’re
securing the hood Fastener. That also
helps prevent gaps.
Get help.
An extra set oF eyes will
ensure you get all JSLIST openings
closed and all the straps secured. Put on
your JSLIST with the help oF a buddy.
You can check his suit and he can check
yours.
