Redefining Comfort in Flame Resistant Apparel with Moisture Management
DRIFIRE®, maker of Comfortable FR Wear®, offers the ultimate in moisture management clothing designed to deliver unparalleled wicking, fast drying and odor control, giving you incomparable comfort and flame resistant (FR) safety. Using advances in modern technology, DRIFIRE has a full line of Comfortable FR Wear® that delivers distinct advantages over the competition.
Every DRIFIRE garment offers permanent, no-melt, no-drip flame resistance and comfort properties that are inherent to our fabrics, not added via a topical finish or sprayed onto our clothing. This guarantees that the comfort and safety of your wicking clothing will not wear or wash out over the wearable lifespan of our garments.
Delivering Superior Comfort
When people talk about comfort, they often discuss how garments like wicking shirts, wicking work shirts or job shirts, wicking uniforms, wicking sweatshirts, wicking coveralls and wicking pants feel to the touch. When we talk about comfort, we talk about not only how the garment feels to the touch and absorbs or wicks moisture, but also how it can help to regulate your skin temperature by drying quickly, and how well it can control odor. An industry leader in Comfortable FR Wear®, DRIFIRE keeps wearers comfortable in the extreme environments in which they operate.
Managing Moisture: Using patented drirelease® technology, DRIFIRE delivers the optimal combination of wicking and fast-drying attributes to maximize comfort.
- Inherent wicking: Our patented blend uses hydrophilic (i.e. water-loving) fibers to ensure moisture is quickly absorbed from your skin and onto the fabric of our garments. This absorption helps your skin to stay drier, helping to keep you more comfortable. Unlike a lot of performance garments, DRIFIRE is not topically treated to wick moisture. Our unique fiber combination makes our wicking properties an inherent part of our garments, giving you permanent performance that won’t wash or wear out.
- Faster drying: So the sweat is off your skin but still on your garment, which can make you cold and clammy once you stop moving or experience sudden changes in temperature. Even worse, wearing a wet undergarment when you are exposed to ongoing flame or fire can generate trapped steam between garment layers, increasing your risk of steam burns. Not with DRIFIRE. Our Comfortable FR Wear® dries significantly faster than cotton and other fiber combinations, meaning the days of wearing a soppy wet T-shirt are over. With DRIFIRE base layers, you can also reduce the risk of steam burns with a faster-drying garment. So say goodbye to the chills and hello to comfort and safety.
Managing odor: Let’s face it, when you’ve been wearing the same shirt for days or layered it under stinky body armor, the people around you suffer. DRIFIRE garments feature antimicrobial properties that help to resist the growth of bacterial odors. Because no one really needs to know the last time you did your laundry.
These characteristics, coupled with permanent, no-melt, no-drip flame resistance are what make our Comfortable FR Wear® the best gear around. DRIFIRE's wicking shirts will dry faster than and feel as good as your favorite cotton tee, and won’t melt or drip on skin like Poly-armor garments can, giving you ultimate comfort and, more importantly, safety.
Flame Resistance = Safety
We know when you say you're attached to your favorite cotton T-shirt or Poly Armor, you don't mean that literally. But unless you understand the importance of no-melt, no-drip Comfortable FR Wear®, this attachment may be more than you bargained for. DRIFIRE wicking clothing will not melt or drip when exposed to flame, meaning it will not fuse to your skin or cause injuries that are far more severe than burns. DRIFIRE garments will not ignite or continue to burn once the source of flame is removed, a problem that can lead to increasingly serious burns with other types of garments. The flame-resistant fiber used in DRIFIRE garments is self-extinguishing, ensuring that your exposure to flame or fire is minimized once you’re out of the danger zone.
Whether you're a probie or a dinosaur, a flyboy or a leatherneck, a pole jockey or just a grunt, we know flame-related injuries are no laughing matter. That's why the performance of our wicking clothing will never leave you hanging.
Control Odor, Keep your Loved Ones Close
When it comes to flame-resistant clothes, odor control is probably not at the top of your priority list. Fortunately for your family and co-workers, at DRIFIRE we care about how you smell. DRIFIRE Comfortable FR Wear® features antimicrobial properties that guard our garments against degradation from microorganisms, making our clothes odor resistant. With wicking, fast drying clothing that also resists odors, showering in the morning, which we still recommend whenever possible, is totally your call.
Layer Up
Need greater levels of arc protection but still want to stay comfortable? No problem. With a full line of garments that includes ultra-lightweight to heavyweight base layers, combat gear and head protection, we’ve got you covered from head to toe, inside and out. DRIFIRE clothing comes in a variety of weights to make sure that no matter what temperature you’re facing, you’ll have the right gear to get the job done. So layer up or layer down as you see fit. Just make sure you don’t layer down too far when going to work . . . . With DRIFIRE, you can achieve maximum comfort and optimal protection in any situation.
