Flash Fire and pathogen protection - lightweight and elastic

Research shows that over 80% of callouts for fire and rescue services across Europe concern road traffic accidents, water or other technical rescue activities. These incidents are completely different from fire interventions.

Until now, protection for rescue work has always involved compromise – either working in more insulated and robust structural gear that over protects for technical rescue situations, or operating in lightweight suits that offer minimum protection and quickly become uncomfortable in cold, wet or very hot weather.

Firefighters need the confidence that their garments will protect them from all the risks that they face at a rescue incident.

The revolutionary GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® stretch fabric is a game changer for technical rescue, combining several of Gore’s proven world leading technologies in a bespoke rescue application.

FIELD TESTS AND USER FEEDBACK

 

When GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® stretch garments were taken to technical rescue teams around Europe the response was immediate and enthusiastic. As soon as they picked the garments up, firefighters commented on how light they were. They said that the gear felt more like sport or leisure wear and really appreciated the freedom of movement and comfort. Those that tried the clothing in the rain were surprised at how easily the water ran off the fabric and were dry throughout the day. Fire fighters present at fire testing were surprised by the fire resistant performance in such a lightweight garment. Many were reluctant to give the test samples back.

“When I move in the garment I don’t feel any restriction, it’s like moving in my undergarment.”

“It’s the best PPE I ever worn.”

“I can’t believe this is certified PPE.”

“The hot feeling, I usually have with my gear is not perceivable here. I sweat but I’m not feeling wet.”

SUSTAINABILITY

 

GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® stretch fabric has a longer lifespan as it made to withstand the operational rigours and frequent decontamination needed for technical rescue and can withstand over 50 industrial washes (using  ISO 15797 table 1 method). This longer operational lifespan reduces the number of replacements required and extends the usage of the initial resources consumed during production and distribution, which has the largest impact on the environment. Also, by using this garment instead of structural fire gear for technical rescue callouts, the lifetime of those garments are also extended.
