Outer shell fabrics

Protection and comfort

The protection firefighters need, the comfort they want.

The outer shell is the firefighter’s very first line of defense. It might seem like a no-brainer, but the fire suit wouldn’t be a fire suit without the guarantee of protecting its wearer from heat and flames in structural fire incidents.

The outer shell may be the hardest-working layer of the fire suit, but it doesn’t need to be heavy and cumbersome. Thanks to the latest technology, it’s possible to choose a lightweight and flexible that reduces heat stress and discomfort, while still providing excellent thermal protection.

At TenCate Protective Fabrics, we use innovative fibers to provide superior thermal protection. Our innovative outer-shell fabrics provide a tough, durable and above all safe first line of defense against heat, flame and abrasion.
