Great news for a variety of professionals!​​​​​​​


Wenaas112’s new W112 First responder vest combines many years’ experience of fire and rescue workwear with very useful feedback from our customers. As a result, the vest is ideal for fire, rescue and first responder personnel but can be used by a variety of other professional groups thanks to its flexibility. In other words, this garment can be used by “everyone”. The final customer adaptions ahead of delivery of the W112 First responder vest are made by our large Value-Added Services (VAS) department in Måndalen. This is where we affix the desired colour reflector and logo, as well as the combination of pocket and text panels chosen by the customer.

The W112 First responder vest attracts the attention of a variety of professionals!
  • Our fabrics are sturdy and hard-wearing enough to support pockets filled with equipment.
  • Vests are airy by nature, but the back section can quickly become damp on a hot summer’s day. That is why the back of the W112 First responder vest is made from an airy fabric.
  • Our vest is often used as part of a uniform, so it needs to look the part. That is why we have incorporated shoulder flaps and a collar offering a neat neck finish.
  • The W112 First responder vest has interchangeable pocket panels on the chest, like other Wenaas first responder gear. This makes it possible for customers to create good routines for the positioning of equipment and allows them to make individual adjustments.
  • Our new vest also features spacious pockets at the bottom capable of holding a tablet. There is also a carabiner loop in the side seam.
  • ​​​​​​​In addition, the W112 First responder vest is equipped with hook-and-loop panels for fitting interchangeable text panels with the same dimensions as those used for other Wenaas first responder gear. We can supply text panels in various colours and with the customer’s chosen text. This allows the customer to establish their own system for colour and text.

Interchangeable pocket and text panels

Wenaas has made it possible to standardise the use of both pocket and text panels on many garments by making these interchangeable. These new details offer added flexibility while contributing to increased efficiency and safety. Learn more about interchangeable panels here.
