Description
In the line of duty, your biggest danger is heat stress. As your core temperature rises, you lose the ability to concentrate, make sound decisions, and think critically. Today, heat stress contributes to over half of reported line of duty deaths.
When physical exertion leads to accumulation of heat and sweat, your body naturally cools down by allowing sweat to evaporate. Without an escape route for the sweat vapor, it stays trapped against your body.
At Fire-Dex, we’ve discovered that traditional gear fails to cool you down where you need it the most, that’s why we developed AeroFlex™, a groundbreaking leap in firefighter comfort and safety.
VaporLite™ Panels
We use a breathable, 3-layer composite system that targets the areas of your body where heat becomes most encapsulated, the side seams, armpits, inner thighs, and behind the knees.
These patent-pending VaporLite™ Panels allow sweat to evaporate more efficiently than any garment available to the fire service today.
AeroVent™ Technology
The first of its kind, our AeroVent™ Technology utilizes a patent-pending one-way street ventilation design that operates in conjunction with the pressure differential between the outer environment and the microclimate inside your gear, allowing sweat vapor to escape without letting heat inside.
AeroVent™ Technology enables you to better regulate your core body temperature, reducing the risk of heat stress and other cardiac-related issues.
Particulate-blocking technology in the vents act as a barrier against potentially harmful carcinogens.
The vents lie within the VaporLite™ Panels, with two positioned along the armpits and two placed on the inner thighs, facilitating airflow, and promoting optimal cooling where it matters most.
