GORE-TEX PYRAD® Technology for Burn Protection in Situations Involving Heat and Flame Exposure 

Garments designed with GORE-TEX PYRAD® product technology provide heat, flame and flash fire protection for defence personnel and industrial workers. The antistatic fabric also helps to protect against arc flash incidents. This versatile technology offers the durable waterproofness, wind-proofness and breathability you would expect of GORE-TEX products and provides some of the lightest weight, less bulky garments on the market. After extensive testing, development and research in their state-of-the-art lab, Gore developed a wearer-approved portfolio of GORE-TEX PYRAD® fabrics that go beyond existing standards of protection. They've been designed with those who rely on them in mind: adapting to their needs and with their safety as the highest priority.

DRIFIRE's 14oz FR/AR Modacrylic Blend Fleece is a heavy, high-performance protective fabric that combines permanent flame resistance with advanced moisture management. When exposed to flame or an arc flash, the built-in modacrylic fibres release a self-extinguishing gas to choke out the flames, creating a thick char that blocks extreme thermal energy.
