Lightweight tough, and flexibility

Reinforcement material has also been incorporated into the suit of a fire fighter. It is a high efficiency, durable protection fabric, which is designed specifically to reinforce areas of turnout gear receiving excessive wear, such as knees and elbows.

Ara-Shield™ fabric is a reinforcement with high solid double-coat surface. It contains a lightweight construction and exceptional thermal resistance. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional reinforcement products.
