ECO-DRY SHIELD

ECO-DRY Shield has been developed specifically with the requirements of wildland firefighters in mind. This necessitates that the garment be comfortable to wear during high activity levels, during which the user is exposed to extreme radiant and convective heat. A lightweight single layer construction combines the comfort of Australian Wool and Lenzing FR, with the thermal performance of Meta-Aramid to allow mobility and flexibility as required during prolonged call-outs whilst at the same time providing maximum thermal protection.

ECO-DRY ACTIVE ECO-DRY Active is a 220gsm double layer fabric, designed specifically to be used as a liner in structural firefighting garments. The natural properties of wool not only draw sweat and body heat away from your body, but actively ‘pump’ it out through its second layer to the moisture barrier. This speeds up evaporation and dispersion from your garment via the outer shell.

ECO-DRY COOL+ ECO-DRY Cool+ is an innovative, 135gsm single layer fabric, designed specifically to be used as a liner in structural firefighting garments. The fabric has a natural wicking system to draw sweat away from the body, helping you to stay cooler for longer, minimising the possibility of heat stress.

All ECO-DRY fabrics are;• A combination of Wool, LenzingFR and Meta-Aramid• Comfortable next to the skin, even after extended activity• Inherently fire retardant• Anti-microbial, anti-static and anti-odour

ECO-DRY fabrics comply with international standards including: Structural Firefighting - EN469 - AS/NZS 4967 Wildland Firefighting - AS/NZS 4824

ECO-DRY incorporates the benefits of wool, Lenzing FR & Meta-Aramid, whether as a single layer for Wildland firefighting and Station wear garments or as a liner for structural PPE gear. This intelligent fabric, using Fibre Positioning Technology delivers; comfort, ease of movement, breathability, thermal performance and durability to benefit you.

Design that SavesHeat stress is the biggest single global threat to your health and safety as a firefighter.

ECO-DRY contains a unique blend of Wool with Lenzing FR, which absorb and repel water respectively. These different characteristics have been intelligently blended using Fibre Positioning Technology to work in combination as a

moisture pump and heat regulator to maximise moisture management in moving sweat away from the skin.

Wool is antistatic, antimicrobial and has odour control properties all perfect on long demanding shifts for keeping you cool, dry and comfortable.

Protection that ShowsWool, Lenzing FR and Meta-Aramid are all inherently fire retardant. This means unlike treated FR fabrics, the excellent thermal protection of ECO-DRY products will not wash out, wear off or degrade over time.
