What do you wear?

[Cohn]

I was just wondering what gear everyone here wears?

I personally just ordered some stuff from Galls, Galls zipper boots and Galls EMT pants (they hem them for you too for free )

I was looking for some 5.11 gear but it was a little out of my price range.

Not another one of these threads.... Kid, do a search and you'll see what I mean.

"Paging Mycrofft, call holding on line five is four...paging Mycrofft".

...Um... Whatever my bosses tell me to. I work as an EMT for paid services with owners and a volunteer service with an E-Board.
As a policy, I do not make personal purchases from Galls or similar websites...
What did you buy, that you feel is necessary to function as an EMT?

When I am on duty I wear a uniform, provided by the service. When I am in class, I wear the uniform mandated by my college.

In my personal time I prefer shorts and a t-shirt.(not from Galls)

When with patients? Shirt, tie, slacks, good shoes, white clinical jacket.

To be fair, I still feel like a little child playing dress up with his father's clothes when I'm wearing the coat.

We wear what ever we have on I work on a volunteer squad but we have Dept. Shirts when we are at functions.

Nothing at all. You should try nudity, it's very freeing. A nice healthy breeze in all the bits.

I would need a pic to verify that

I wear what my agency approves. FT job that means blue EMT pants, polo shirt (purchased by me) or s/s button down, and usually black sneakers (since I work in dispatch). I also have a job shirt, again department approved.

at Part time job, black pants, polo shirt (purchased by me) or s/s button down, and waterproof boots. I also have a job shirt that I purchased.

Any decent agency will provide you with a complete uniform. this includes shirt, pants, and jacket. They can either be issued and returned when you separate from the organization, or purchased.

All my uniforms are department issued/paid for or made to department specs. the only exception is a generic Game job shirt that I have, with my name, an EMT patch, and a generic SOL embroidered on it. I have it for my per diem job, where I work maybe once or twice a month, and it doesn't pay to buy a dedicated job shirt. and if functions as a backup job shirt for my FT and PT job if i need to wash it and it isn't dry before work.

and I try to avoid galls if at all possible. waaaay too expensive, and there are better quality items available elsewhere.

That's only until you become a resident. Then it's scrubs, crocs, rumpled lab coat, and three days growth of beard. The dark rings and bloodshot eyes are optional but encouraged.

Currently? Oscar the grouch lounge pants and a tshirt I stole from my husband.

 

[TransportJockey]

At the moment, white issued button down shirt, black 5.11 EMS pants, black Converse side-zip boots, and a nice warm fleece jacket (which I technically shouldn't be wearing cause it's not approved uniform item)

 

[MonkeySquasher]

I always wear clean boxers.

Because hey, you just never know.

Well I had to buy new boots, my last ones were torn up by my dog. And EMS pants because my blue ****ies did not hold my stuff in my pockets at all. Also I am a volunteer so we are really only given a department shirt. When they start training me for fires I will need to get gloves too.

So do I, especially since our coats are full size like the doctors.

But underneath, I wear scrubs. I actually do work, and that shirt and tie, etc. just doesn't work well for me.

Fire gloves, or other gloves? Fire gloves should be issued by your department.

Also, you guys should have some sort of BLS bag on your apparatus you respond on, that should hold all your equipment. ;D When I'm at work, I carry a small notepad/pen, bright LED penlight (makes a great small flashlight too), puncture-resistant gloves, sterile gloves, my EMS cards and swipe card for work, a multitool, my steth, and a pair of shears. Anything else should be in your bag, imo.

I wear armani trousers, calvin klein shirts and a silk tie hand embroidered by a vietnamese child.

My volunteer department issued me pants. Boy pants that are a bit tight.

But they are paying for my new set of pants.
