I recently had a conversation with our Fire Chief on wearing body armour. His stance is that he isn't going to pay for it, but he understands some people may want to and he is fine with it. So I was hoping to pick some minds here.
I'm leaning towards an external carrier, with the idea that when I'm working I can hang it up near the rig and grab it when we get a call.
Our uniform policy is pretty lax (to lax if you ask me). By that I mean our on shift guys could be wearing snything from a T-shirt lettered up with our emblem and Fire on the back to an embroidered Polo, to a button down uniform shirt, all in navy blue. I tend to wear a polo shirt, saving the t-shirt for dirty details.
So, does anyone have any experience with wearing a polo shirt with an external carrier? Can it look professional? I'm thinking one with a couple pockets vs one that looks like a uniform shirt. Any help is appreciated.
