REVOLUTIONIZING FIREFIGHTER SAFETY
AeroFlex® revolutionizes firefighter safety with unmatched breathability and heat stress protection. Designed with VaporLite® Panels and AeroVent® Technology, AeroFlex® supports core body temperature regulation, encouraging airflow to keep your body cool and comfortable without compromising the protection you need!
In the line of duty, your biggest danger is heat stress. When your core temperature rises, you lose the ability to concentrate, make sound decisions, and think critically. Today, heat stress contributes to over half of reported line of duty deaths.
When physical exertion leads to accumulation of heat and sweat, your body naturally cools down by allowing sweat to evaporate. Without an escape route for the sweat vapor, it stays trapped against your body.
At Fire-Dex, we’ve discovered that traditional gear fails to cool you down where you need it the most, that’s why we developed AeroFlex®, a groundbreaking leap in firefighter comfort and safety.
THE PEAK OF TECHNICAL BRILLIANCE
VAPORLITE® PANELS
We use a breathable, 3-layer composite system that targets the areas of your body where heat becomes most encapsulated, the side seams, armpits, inner thighs, and behind the knees.
These patent-pending VaporLite® Panels allow sweat to evaporate more efficiently than any garment available to the fire service today.
VAPORLITE® PANEL COMPOSITES
VaporLite® Panels are built exclusively with our TECGEN71® outer shell, CoreCXP™ 1-layer thermal liner, and your choice of either CROSSTECH® Black, STEDAIR® 4000, or Milliken® Assure™ moisture barrier.
TECGEN71® is the only outer shell that can be paired with a single-layer thermal liner thanks to its exceptional breathability and thermal protection, achieving industry-leading Resistance to Evaporative Heat Loss (Ret) and Total Heat Loss (THL) performance. Choose any composite for the rest of the garment and allow these panels to cool the core.
AEROVENT® TECHNOLOGY
The first of its kind, our AeroVent® Technology utilizes a patent-pending one-way ventilation design that operates in conjunction with the pressure differential between the outer environment and the microclimate inside your gear, allowing sweat vapor to escape without letting heat inside.
AeroVent® Technology enables you to better regulate your core body temperature, reducing the risk of heat stress and other cardiac-related issues.
Particulate-blocking technology in the vents act as a barrier against potentially harmful carcinogens.
The vents lie within the VaporLite® Panels, with two positioned along the armpits and two placed on the inner thighs, facilitating airflow, and promoting optimal cooling where it matters most.
ACTIVE MOVEMENT
By promoting airflow through dynamic movement, AeroVent® Technology generates a constant cooling sensation. As the wearer becomes more active, increased air circulation within the garment results in a heightened cooling experience.
INDEPENDENT TESTING
Multiple independent laboratory tests proved that AeroFlex® provides excellent breathability and extreme protection.
Serious Safety
The North Carolina State University Textile Protection And Comfort Center tested AeroFlex® gear with a simulated burn in their PyroMan™ test chamber. They outfitted a mannikin with AeroFlex® and tested it with a heat flux similar to most common fuels—2000°F flames for four seconds. Those flames were aimed specifically at areas with ventilation.
The results? They found 0% burn on the mannikin, showing that AeroFlex®, with the power of AeroVent® Technology and VaporLite® Panels, prevents heat from getting in and protects the firefighter.
