To improve your safety and deliver 360° protection, Gore continues to push the technical capabilities of PPE. Our portfolio of products for the fire industry provides durable and reliable performance that prevents skin contamination, minimizes potential injury, and delivers the highest breathability across multiple environments.
Now certified to the particulate-blocking option of the NFPA 1971 Standard, 2018 Edition, the GORE® Particulate Hood is your best choice for protection and comfort. This durable hood’s barrier maintains its 99.9% particulate-blocking performance even after 100 wash cycles.
Third-party testing has confirmed that the GORE® PARALLON™ liner system in your turnout gear delivers the highest breathability, followed closely by the GORE® CROSSTECH® black moisture barrier. Both of these products performed significantly better than the competition in helping to reduce heat exhaustion.
Gloves with GORE® CROSSTECH® glove inserts maintain a durable barrier that ensures reliable, long-lasting protection while providing the dexterity you need to successfully complete your job.
Leather boots with GORE® CROSSTECH® fabric have been proven to reduce the risk of slips and falls. This fabric leads the industry in providing durable, breathable protection in firefighter footwear.
Certified to NFPA 1994, Class 2 or Class 3, suits made with GORE® CHEMPAK® fabrics deliver enhanced functionality, helping you operate in warm and hot zone environments more confidently and remain engaged longer.
