*Sizing Guidelines:

“Regular Fire Shelter size” is meant to fit individuals up to 5′-7″ in height with a girth (largest area of the circumference of the body) of less than 53″. Individuals between 5′-7″ and 6′-1″ and less than 53″ in girth may carry either size as they deem appropriate. In trials using fans to simulate wind, firefighters shorter than 5′-7″ had difficulty deploying and holding down the large fire shelter. Firefighters who are shorter than 5′-7″, but whose girth is larger than 53″ should practice with the large practice shelter in a strong wind before deciding whether to carry a large shelter on the fireline.

“Large Shelter size” was designed for firefighters whose height or girth prevents them from fitting easily inside the regular shelter. Any firefighter taller than 6′-1″ should also carry the large shelter. Any firefighter whose girth is larger than 53 inches at any point also should carry the large shelter. Individuals between 5′-7″ and 6′-1″ and less than 53″ in girth may carry either size as they deem appropriate.
