Firefighter Pants are the heavy trousers worn by fire crews. They are worn in the Pants slot and cover the groin, thighs and shins. They suit a survivor who wants warm legs and some protection from zombies.
Their main strength is warmth and weather cover, along with a fair guard against bites and scratches. Their main cost is speed, since they slow running a great deal. They are also very heavy to carry.
Fire station storage rooms and work lockers are the best places to find a pair. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The pants are very warm and block most wind and rain. They suit deep winter and wet weather.
They stop about one bite in five and three scratches in ten on the legs. Jeans stop half as many of each and are much lighter. Padded Pants are warmer still but protect only as well as Jeans.
The cost is speed. The pants cut running speed by 18 percent, which is a heavy price when zombies give chase. They also add some discomfort.
They take the Pants slot. Shorts, skirts, dresses, other pants, a boilersuit and full suits cannot be worn with them.
Tailoring
The Pick Aramid Thread recipe takes the pants apart for Aramid Thread and calls for Tailoring at level 2.
Researching them with Research Craft teaches the Sew Pants recipe.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Firefighter Pants and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
Firefighter Pants are a common find in fire stations. Fire station storage rooms keep a pair on the shelves about a quarter of the time. Lockers in fire station garages and storage rooms hold a pair about one time in five. So do lockers in bathrooms, break rooms, changing rooms and garages.
Backstage rooms turn up a pair only rarely.
