Engineered with specialized flame-retardant and antistatic properties, the lightweight Fire-Resistant Environmental Ensemble (FREE) withstands heat and flame threats that soldiers may encounter in combat vehicle crew and aviation mission sets.
FREE EWOL is designed with a Nomex® outer layer, a durably waterproof, windproof, and breathable GORE-TEX membrane, and a Nomex® liner. Highly breathable GORE-TEX fabric keeps the user comfortable by allowing moisture to escape from the garment. GORE-TEX fabric maintains protection over time, even after exposure to JP-8, DEET, petroleum, oils, and lubricants. The n-IR signature reduction technology is durable for the life of the product.
Only routine washing and drying are required to maintain the performance and extend the life of the garment.
