    GORE-TEX® PYRAD® Rain Suits for Defence

    The only flame retardant, durably waterproof and breathable rain suits with excellent colour durability.

    Advanced All‑Weather and FR Protection

    GORE‑TEX® PYRAD® fabric combines waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance with flame‑retardant protection. Polyamide suits offer high abrasion resistance, tear strength, and colour durability while meeting camouflage and IRR standards, ensuring personnel stay dry, safe, and mission‑ready in any environment.



    Lightweight Strength with Long‑Lasting Performance

    Our polyamide fabrics deliver superior mechanical strength, vivid colour reproduction, and IRR compliance. They retain performance and appearance through UV exposure, heavy use, and frequent washing. Lightweight, low‑bulk, and highly packable, they keep gear strong yet compact for demanding deployments.

    GORE-TEX® PYRAD® Rain Suits are engineered to provide:

    Inside the Fabric Technology

    Garment performance under normal conditions is durably waterproof, windproof and breathable. Upon incidental heat and flame exposure GORE-TEX® PYRAD® Fabric technology laminate forms a stable char to protect the user. Physical integrity of laminate is maintained after heat and flame exposure even when flexed.
