DISCLAIMER
Never wear the garment without proper training; never wear the garment without all elements in place. The garment alone does not provide
protection against chemical and biological hazards. CBRN ensembles provide no protection against flames. CBRN ensembles provide
limited protection against abrasion, puncture, bodily fluids, other liquids and gases. No products, including garments, footwear or handwear,
can offer absolute protection, even when new, and their protective performance will decline with wear, tear, abrasion and other damage
associated with use. W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. and LION make no guarantee of how the product will perform in actual use.
