Time-tested, Tri-certified

Pioneer™ was the first outer shell from TenCate Protective Fabrics that featured ENFORCE™ Technology. A more economical option, Pioneer™ is an outer shell that delivers enhanced strength in a lightweight outer shell. A highly engineered, innovative twill weave ensures a good range and ease of motion that firefighters need on the job. Pioneer™ is designed to be 10% lighter than comparable outer shells while still delivering the strength and durability that firefighters have come to expect from TenCate Protective Fabrics.

Pioneer weighs in at 6.6 osy. Pioneer™ with ENFORCE™ Technology has a distinctive appearance unlike any other outer shell fabric available on the market and is offered in a wide variety of colors.
