    Key Benefits

    GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Stretch Technology

    Protects against incidental flame and flash fire and forms a self-extinguishing char to protect the wearer. The material remains intact and does not break open.

    Allows sweat to evaporate out from inside the garment and keeps the wearer cooler during high exertion work.

    Prevents penetration from viral and blood borne pathogens in accordance with ISO 16604, even after contamination and 50 washes.

    Prevents penetration of liquid chemicals to EN ISO 6530, even after contamination.
    * Common chemicals

    Elasticity allows for better fit. The fabric expands and contracts easily, moving with the wearer like a high-performance sports garment and allowing room to vary layers underneath to suit weather conditions.

    Extremely light fabric can stretch four ways to allow the freedom of movement to work effectively in challenging rescue environments.

    Durable waterproof protection from rain and inclement weather for long rescue incidents.
