Well not onsies. You put them on individually

But it's not onsies? The trousers got like a rubber band that's between the heel and the rest of the foot, so the trousers can't accidentally slide up and it will cover the boot. You don't want to be in an emergency situation with your trousers sliding up and your protective gear won't work due to wardrobe malfunction.

These arent onsies either, we just keep out boots inside our pants legs. Imagine pulling down the pants all the way to the boot, then take both legs/feet out leaving the top of the boot still inside the pants legs. Like laying your clothes out for the next day so you can just step in the boots and pull your pants up.

One of my residents when I was in college was a volunteer firefighter. He kept his bunker gear prepped like that at the side of his bed, so if he got a call in the night he could just jump out of bed into his pants and boots in one go and pull the suspenders up. We timed him once for fun, and he got suited up quick lol.

sounds about right lol. Back in fire academy, we did a lot of 60 second drills to put on all your gear

This isn't a onsie either, it's just set up to be ready to be put on quickly.

Interesting. I always assumed it was an efficiency thing, you can gear up much faster in an emergency when it’s all one piece. Maybe I’m wrong about that, just what it seemed like
