When it comes to selecting turnout gear, the most important thing for a firefighter is protection. Wearing gear built with highly breathable fabrics allows sweat vapor to move more easily through your clothing so your body’s cooling process can work more effectively – keeping you cooler and more comfortable.
Turnout gear designed with breathable GORE® moisture barriers provides you with protection, durability, and confidence knowing the materials used by Gore are safe and sustainable.
- GORE® moisture barriers remain highly breathable after multiple heat exposures, enabling your gear to maintain a consistent level of breathability over its life span.
- Testing after various heat exposures helps us understand how materials perform when new, as well as after use.
- Because GORE® moisture barriers are more breathable, they create a lower heat stress burden on firefighters, demonstrated by lower core temperatures, skin temperatures, and heart rates in a third-party study.
- The Breathability After Heat Test demonstrates how effective some fabrics are in maintaining their breathability after heat exposures that can be found on the fire ground.
