*Mopp Suit Sizing Chart*

One of the things that is a little difficult for those us in the North is the need to buy two of almost all equipment. "Two?", you ask. Yes, Cold and Warm weather versions of about everything. I have three children, my wife and myself to buy for, so I need ten sleeping bags, five summer and five winter weight. A BDU top is fine for everybody in summer, but we need an M65 with liner in the winter, etc. The other thing that falls in this category is Mopp suits, of course. We "swim" in the winter suits if we use them in the summer over a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, but we can’t get the summer sizes on over cold weather gear.

I ran across a sizing chart somewhere and it has been very accurate in showing the correct size for everyone in my family, so I thought I’d pass it on for those of shopping for Mopp gear. Chemical Protective Suits or Mopp Suits come in sizes from XXXS to XXL and should be a part of everyone’s NBC preps. The simple chart below should help to pick the right size suit for your team members.

So… Use the chart to outfit your family with the correct size. Then practice getting suited up. As I always say-

Get out and train!
