FlashBlock: Engineered to protect from the inside out.

Introducing FlashBlock^tm, the first line of base-layer FR gear featuring PBI BaseGuard^tm. PBI BaseGuard^tm fabric is engineered with PBI, the ultimate in flame resistant fibers. Firefighters have trusted PBI blended fabrics in the heat of battle for more than 25 years. The same flame-resistance and thermal protection firemen count on is available for industrial workers worldwide.

Ideal Workwear for:

• Firefighters (NFPA1975)
• Law enforcement & military personnel
• Refinery & chemical plant workers (NFPA 2112)
• Utility linemen & electrical workers (NFPA 70E)

Unlike the harsh chemical treatments applied to FR cotton apparel, PBI BaseGuard® technology is inside the fiber. It won’t wear off, it won’t wash out, and it won’t irritate the skin. Other properties include:

• Flame and heat resistant; won't ignite, melt or drip
• Chemically resistant
• Low static buildup
• Won't shrink or embrittle
• Lighter, thinner and cooler than Nomex® and modacrylic; minimizes heat stress
• Wicks moisture better than cotton and Nomex®
• Microban® technology fights odor causing bacteria
• Incredibly lightweight and soft; no itch or irritation
• The most comfortable FR apparel available
