Gibson & Barnes, based in San Diego, California, designs and manufactures gear for the Armed Forces and public-safety communities. Its product lines include jackets, jumpsuits, uniforms, electronic communication equipment and helmets for aviation, EMS, police, fire and military customers. The company operates as a small to mid-sized supplier focused on equipment suitable for demanding field operations. A current development is the LQDC System (FLO-LOK), which is in full-scale production under a long-term US Army contract; connectors are assembled from injection-molded, CNC-machined and rubber-compounded parts and are calibrated and tested to a strict protocol with electronically recorded quality data. Gibson & Barnes is also pursuing a next-generation Liquid Cooling Garment for the US Military, aiming to incorporate a flexible heat exchanger, with a development contract that could yield patentable ideas.
