Modacrylic Blend Fleece (14.0oz / 474gsm)

DRIFIRE® 14oz Modacrylic Blend Fleece is a heavy-duty fabric engineered to keep workers safe and comfortable in dangerous environments. It is widely used to manufacture tough outerwear such as Hoodies and Jackets for personnel who work around electricity and fire. The feature of the fabric is its special mix of fibres, featuring Modacrylic, which has flame resistant capability built into the fibre. This ensures the safety features will never wash out or wear away over time, giving lasting defence against arc flash and flash fire.

Beyond its impressive protection features, the Fleece is designed to keep workers comfortable during long, hard work days. The fabric acts like a smart climate control system pulling perspiration away from the skin and drying quickly, which stops the wearer from getting cold chill when work slows down. The fabric is also built to stretch easily, so workers can reach, bend and move freely without feeling held back by bulky layers. Additionally, it features advanced odour-control technology to keep the garment clean and fresh, even after hours of hard physical work.
