Rugged

Unique GORE® PYRAD® fabric technology is engineered to provide optimal protection against heat and flame by balancing flame resistance, thermal insulation and thermal stability.

GORE® PYRAD® fabric technology is lightweight and non-bulky, making it suitable for wearing on long, demanding missions.

GORE(R) PYRAD® fabric demonstrates high levels of abrasion resistance compared to traditional aramid blend fabrics.

Burn protection for defense personnel

 

Many defense personnel face the risk of flash fires. GORE® PYRAD® fabric technology has been built with a laminate that forms a stable char when exposed to heat, flame and flash fires to reliably protect the wearer. So when defense personnel are exposed to these incidents, they can count on best-in-class protection from their GORE® PYRAD® garments.

Along with this high level of protection, the garments are also lightweight, low-bulk and easy to pack: perfect for those on the move. The fabric retains the high levels of durability that Gore protective fabrics are renowned for, standing up to the everyday pressures of tough working conditions.

Fabrics with camouflage patterns keep their color stability for long and are very durable, due to their high tear and abrasion resistance.
