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.
