Comfort and protection

The West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) has taken delivery of the latest heat and flame protection technology in its selection of a new firefighting turnout gear made from Hainsworth TITAN fabric that incorporates DuPont Nomex and Kevlar fibres.

The turnout gear, that is made from a patented double cloth construction, with DuPont Nomex on the face to provide optimal thermal protection, abrasion resistance and colour fastness, and DuPont Kevlar on the back to provide strength, offers exceptional heat and flame protection, chemical resistance, heat stress management capabilities and comfort.

The award-winning, Hainsworth TITAN used for the turnout gear is a patented outershell solution developed by Hainsworth Protective Fabrics, a DuPont Nomex partner, and is used by a number of UK Fire and Rescue Services.
