Redefining Comfort in Flame Resistant Apparel with Wicking Clothing

DRIFIRE offers the ultimate in wicking clothing designed to deliver unparalleled Moisture Management, Comfort, and Flame Resistant (FR) safety. Using advances in modern technology, DRIFIRE's line of Comfortable FR Wear, including a variety of styles and weights for wicking knit and woven shirts, coveralls, pants and sweatshirts, offers distinct advantages over our competitors.

 

Most importantly, DRIFIRE actually engineers performance characteristics into our fabrics without topical finishes or harmful chemical additives. This means the performance of your wicking clothing will not wear out or break down over time.

 

When people talk about comfort, they often discuss how garments like wicking t shirts, wicking work or job shirts, wicking uniforms, wicking sweatshirts, wicking coveralls and wicking pants, feel to the touch. When we talk about comfort, we talk about how wicking clothing feels in every situation. A proven industry leader in next-to-skin garments, DRIFIRE Comfortable FR Wear provides a soft touch that keeps our wearers comfortable in the extreme environments where they operate.

  • Moisture wicking clothing allows users to stay dry to reduce skin irritation and guard against steam burns and other heat related injuries. Our wicking shorts, wicking pants, and wicking shirts dry faster than cotton, saving time, money, and frustration on and off the job.
  • Temperature control reduces wearer's skin temperature when compared to other FR wicking clothing. This can mean the difference between comfort or heat stress and maintaining hydration in critical circumstances.
  • The odor and bacteria control of our wicking pants, wicking shirts, and wicking shorts ensure our wearer's partners do not have to worry about inhaling toxic fumes (commonly referred to as body odor), and helps eliminate rashes and skin irritations associated with dirty garments rubbing against the skin.

We incorporate all of these characteristics in the engineering of our wicking clothing. Although you'd never know by touching them, these benefits will never wash out. Our wicking shirts outperform cotton t shirts and Poly Armor every time, as these products not only smell, but just aren't safe.

 

Unfortunately, staying high and dry isn't just a saying. We know your life could depend on it. That's why our Comfortable FR Wear moisture management wicking clothing features drirelease® technology. You'll never complain again over a beer about overheating or sweaty chills because of pooling on your skin while wearing Poly Armor because when you put on a DRIFIRE Comfortable FR garment, the moisture wicks away and dries faster than a smelly cotton t shirt.

 

What you won't see is the heat stress put on your body and your worksite impromptu clothesline filled with every shirt you brought along in your truck. Because the technology is a permanent part of the wicking clothing, its 'get up and go' will be there when you need it most.

 

We know when you say you're attached to your cotton t shirt and Poly Armor, you don't mean literally, but unless you understand the importance of Comfortable FR Wear, it just might. DRIFIRE wicking clothing does not melt or drip, which means while other garments leave you with injuries far worse on the unexposed sections of your body, DRIFIRE will perform on time, every time. The additional layer of protection and performance is your last line of defense against flames, flash fires and electric arc flash. Although you won't know from touching it, our inherently flame resistant wicking clothing is made with 85% modacrylic fiber and will not burn sustainably. The best part is you'll be able to take our wicking shirts, wicking pants, or wicking shorts off your body at the end of the day, not your skin. Whether you're a Probie or a Dinosaur, a Flyboy or a Leatherneck, a Pole Jockey or just a Grunt, we know heat related injuries are no laughing matter. That's why the performance of our wicking clothing always shoots straight.

 

If you need Comfortable FR Wear, chances are odor management and bacteria buildups are not top priorities. Fortunately for everyone else (including your skin), DRIFIRE makes it a priority. Even though you might like to wear your stink like a badge of honor, the reality is that stink is a result of bacteria buildup. This results in skin irritation and infection, something you'd probably wear with a little less pride. DRIFIRE Comfortable FR Wear features Microban® and FreshGuard® technologies built into the fabric. These technologies work in harmony to suppress odor causing bacteria. Our wicking clothing is odor repellant, so although we highly recommend it, showering in the morning is still your call.

 

 Not only has DRIFIRE engineered performance into the very fabric of our wicking clothing, but the company has also developed a patented garment layering system to maximize the advantages of this technology. As you layer multiple garments like wicking shorts, wicking pants, and wicking shirts, these garments work together to increase Arc rating and decrease dry time, providing the wearer with a maximum level of moisture management performance and flame resistant protection.
