EXPLORE THE HIGH-LEVEL PROTECTIVE BENEFITS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION
Protects against incidental flame and flash fire by forming a self-extinguishing char to protect the wearer. The material remains intact and does not break open.
Penetration performance against NFPA common chemicals
Consistent penetration performance against blood and body fluids even after 50 industrial wash cycles
The four-way stretch capability enhances freedom of movement, moving with the wearer like high-performance sportswear.
Extremely light fabric can stretch four ways to allow the freedom of movement to work effectively in challenging rescue environments.
Inclement weather protection
Allows sweat to evaporate out from inside the garment and keeps the wearer cooler during high exertion work.
Absorbs less water with efficient run off that prevents moisture build up and keeps wearer dry throughout extended operations.
The fabric does not degrade after repeated washing and decontamination
The new GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® stretch fabric combines several of Gore’s exclusive technologies to transform emergency medical response clothing.
