Abstract
This report describes an evaluation that compares the Standard "A" Overgarment with the prototype Flame Resistant Overgarment. The Flame Resistant Overgarment was developed to protect the crewmember where flame threat of great intensity exists. The objective and subjective data showed that no differences were found in the Flame Resistant CB Overgarment when compared to the Standard "A" CB Overgarment. The overgarments were virtually identical except for the covering material.
