[DRIFIRE LLC] Columbus, Ga., U.S.A.
Advancements in the air combat uniform (ACU) and flight suit designed for the U.S. military promise a new standard of safety and improvements in breathability, comfort, design, durability and flame resistance. The new garments are not comprised of meta-aramid material, a product pioneered in the 1960s and currently experiencing a worldwide shortage. Rather, DRIFIRE has developed its flight suit and ACU solutions using the company’s performance FR clothing blend, which is based on a patented formula that optimizes the garment’s moisture wicking, drying time and FR protection using a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers. An antistatic carbon fiber component has also been added to enhance protection for workers in a volatile environment.
