IsoDri is more than just an outer shell that resists water penetration and absorption. It is a complete system of components (outer shell, moisture barrier, thermal barrier and wristlets) that works together to reduce the water in your turnout gear and the dangers that water presents.

Thermal liners on conventional turnout pants have a tendency to absorb water from fireground activities at the bottom of the leg and migrate upward, sometimes even beyond the knees. This can make the garment heavy and uncomfortable, contribute to stress during firefighting activities and require more drying time. Gravity of the excess weight can also pull the hems of the pants down, causing contact with ground surfaces. This can contribute to premature wear at the cuffs. It is also the number one cause of seat and crotch seam failure on turnout pants. Outer shell is treated with Te on® F-PPE to reduce moisture intake from outside sources such as hose water and rain. Features: • Less water on the inside means your gear will be lighter. • Gear dries faster between runs as it will absorb less water. W.L. Gore CROSSTECHBlack, CROSSTECH®3-Layer or RT7100™ moisture barrier allows body heat, in the form of vapor, to escape, but keeps liquid out. Thermal barrier is treated with Te on® F to shed moisture generated by the body and maintain high thermal performance. AraFlo® promotes air permeability to allow vapor released by the body to be more easily transported away from the skin. Facecloth wicks perspiration away from the body. Se per Dri™

Safety Components is proud to introduce the next generation in a stellar history of PBI outer shell fabrics: PBI Max™. The PBI Max patent pending design offers fire fighters the best combination of break open and thermal protection, the strongest outer shell fabric in the world, and the most flexible and comfortable outer shell fabric the fire service has ever seen.

For the last two decades, fire departments choosing outer shells made of 40% DuPont™ Nomex ® /60% DuPont™ Kevlar ® have been limited to stiff and uncomfortable gear...until now. Utilizing the groundbreaking Filament Twill Technology™ used in PBI Max™, Safety Components is launching Armor AP™ to fill the needs of firefighters who prefer improved mobility, improved durability, and improved protection at an economical price. Armor AP - a 6.5 oz. outer shell with absolute performance.

After more than two years of dedicated work, the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters have produced a best practices manual for reducing fire fighter risk of exposures to carcinogens. Healthy In, Healthy Out is now available for all fire fighters. To get copies for your members, call the WSCFF office at 360-943-3030, or view online @ www.wscff.org Healthy In Healthy Out
