The costume must be designed to be flexible, durable, lightweight, breathable, and water-resistant to withstand outdoor conditions, with features including a full head with a campaign hat, upper and lower body components, a duty belt with a representational firearm, and a personal flotation device for boating education events. It should allow for a full range of motion, visibility without staff guidance, and ease of cleaning and maintenance, with detailed specifications provided for the costume’s construction, including tail integration, standard uniform pants, boots, and different seasonal clothing options.
