me in full bunkers, close up! the gear weighs about 40 pounds. it consists of a pair of boots, a pair of pants, a jacket, a fire-retardant hood, a hard hat/face shield, a full face mask, a pair of gloves, and a portable tank of compressed air (about 10 minutes breathing time when full, depending on exertion level).
