Well, that's outstanding news...
GORE-TEX Labs has introduced a new generation of PYRAD flame-retardant combat suits designed to keep soldiers cool, protected, and agile, even in temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
The suits combine low weight, high air permeability, and stretchable materials, offering protection against sudden flames without the stiffness or heat stress of traditional flame-retardant textiles.
Laminates are tailored for different stress areas, with lightweight fabrics in less exposed regions and more robust materials over shoulders, elbows, and knees.
Field tests with special units and naval personnel in the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Pacific confirmed that the suits maintain protection under plate carriers, rough terrain, and abrasive surfaces, while reducing fatigue and improving operational readiness.
GORE-TEX itself has introduced other solutions beyond the new PYRAD combat suit. The company recently unveiled a lightweight, all-weather jacket for soldiers operating in cold and windy environments.
