Defence personnel are often exposed to flash fire risks. PYRAD® fabric technology by GORE-TEX LABS provides critical protection with a specialised laminate that forms a stable char when exposed to heat and flame, delivering reliable burn protection in volatile conditions.
In addition to its protective qualities, PYRAD® garments by GORE-TEX LABS are lightweight, low-bulk, and easy to pack—ideal for personnel on the move. Renowned for durability, these fabrics withstand tough conditions and feature colour-stable camouflage patterns with high tear and abrasion resistance, keeping them mission-ready.

Fitness for Use Testing
In a test conducted by experienced pyrotechnicians, a stuntman wearing a PYRAD® by GORE-TEX LABS protective suit was exposed to a realistic fire source.
The result: after contact with the flame, no traces of melting or dripping could be seen on the suit. Thanks to the PYRAD® fabric technology by GORE-TEX LABS, a self-extinguishing charring layer forms when exposed to flames.
