Inherently FR/AR Lightweight Knit Fabric (6.95oz / 235gsm)

DRIFIRE® Inherently FR/AR Lightweight Knit Fabric is a highly flexible, interlocking fabric structure engineered specifically for flame resistant base layers and next-to-skin tactical gear. Unlike rigid woven FR/AR fabrics used in outer Coveralls or heavy Jackets, the material is knitted to provide multi-directional stretch, breathability and soft texture, while providing permanent flame resistance that cannot wash or wear away. 

Because the fabric is a knit, the fabric loop structure naturally moves with the body, maximising agility and skin-level comfort. It is manufactured using a patented blend of inherently non-flammable synthetic and organic fibres.

Modacrylic Fibres (75%): The foundational synthetic copolymer that causes the knit to self-extinguish when exposed to flame, ensuring it will not melt or drip onto the skin.

Lyocell Fibres (15%): A natural cellulosic fibre blended into the knit structure to optimise exceptional skin softness and moisture regulation.

Polyamide/Nylon (10%): Interwoven to provide high tensile strength, ensuring the elastic knit structure retains its shape and resists tearing during physical strain.
