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, windproofness 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.

Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) / Other

 

Arc Flash

When combined with additional arc rated product technology, the wearer is protected with the best-in-class arc rating Category 3.

Flash Fire

The flame retardant fabric stops propagation by forming a carbonaceous char with the textile, reducing heat transfer to the skin. 

Durably Waterproof

3-Layer GORE-TEX PYRAD® product technology is durably waterproof, windproof and breathable - so work can continue, even in the rain. 

Lightweight

3-Layer GORE-TEX PYRAD® product technology offers lighter weight solutions compared to traditional flame retardant fabrics.
