Turnout gear

Turnout gear; three layers of safety

We provide firefighters with high-quality and durable flame resistant fabrics for each turnout gear layer, which helps to navigate dangerous situations safely.


We care for those who take care of us, and ensure we do all we can to have a positive impact on their lives. That’s why we never stop ideating new solutions and technologies that will improve the daily activities of firefighters.

Our latest innovations meet the biggest trend we see; that fabrics to go as light as possible to reduce heat stress and discomfort, while still performing to satisfaction in terms of thermal and physical protection.


Our turnout gear fabrics portfolio consist of flame resistant fabrics for outer shells, moisture barriers, thermal barriers and reinforcement.
