Good protection must be the right size

Measuring

At Sioen Fire, we understand that a properly fitted turnout suit is essential to a firefighter’s performance and safety. That’s why we place great emphasis on precise sizing — to guarantee comfort, safety, and operational effectiveness in the field.

The SMS: Simple, Reliable, Personalised

Our SMS system is designed to:

  • Simplify the measuring process — even for self-measurement

  • Minimise sizing errors when selecting garments

Each user can directly read the recommended size on the measuring tape, which is tailored to the specific garment type (jacket or trousers) and the wearer’s body shape.

The SMS is available in multiple formats (S, M, L, XL, etc.), with dedicated versions for:

  • Chest circumference (for jackets)

  • Waist circumference (for trousers)

  • And even leg and torso lengths to guide the final fit

Tailored Measuring Tools for Every Configuration

When sizing is not pre-defined, our BD department relies on standardised sizing grids. To streamline the measuring process and ensure compliance with EN ISO 13688:2013 requirements, we have developed an exclusive tool: the Sioen Measuring System (SMS).

A Tailored Approach, Designed for Your Safety

As part of public procurement processes, our Business Development (BD) Team transforms client requirements into technical garments using custom-made patterns.

The goal: to create the optimal space between the skin and the garment, forming an effective thermal barrier — while ensuring maximum freedom of movement.
