                "General Performance Tests of Combat Uniforms and Protective Clothing"
                Title

                "General Performance Tests of Combat Uniforms and Protective Clothing"

                This TOP provides guidance for planning performance and durability tests of combat uniforms, nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) protective clothing, and other types of clothing worn by the soldier. Items covered include, but are not limited to, uniforms, caps, undergarments, over garments, clothing liners, hoods, masks, gloves, socks and boots.  Tests include laboratory analyses, functional performance over special design or wear test courses described in the appendixes, and field testing. This TOP does not include chemical, ballistic, or other protection testing, but does provide the procedures for “conditioning” the “used” items for these tests as a follow-on to verify performance after SAR durability testing. This TOP does not address natural environments testing of clothing.
