FABRICS
NFPA 1977 Compliant
DuPont™ Nomex® is a highly durable meta-aramid fiber widely used in wildland firefighting. Its high-performance, flame-resistant properties offer protection by thickening and carbonizing the fibers when exposed to intense heat and won’t melt, drip, or support combustion. Along with its exceptional durability, Nomex is lightweight, highly breathable, and designed to enhance comfort on the fireline. It also maintains its protective qualities throughout its lifespan, as it can’t be washed out or worn away. This combination of protection, durability, and comfort makes Nomex® a preferred choice for wildland firefighters.
