SAFETY FIRST
Our latest addition to the collection
is flame-retardant base-layer clothing. The obvious
choice for the fire service, the police and armed
forces and others imposing high demands for safety
and protection. SAFE meets the EU's stringent requirements
for flame resistance. SAFE is essentially the same
as our ordinary base-layer clothing, and retains all
its excellent characteristics. The wool in SAFE garments
is treated with Zirpro at the molecular level,
which gives permanent flame-retardant properties.
The layer with flame-proof Nomex® forms an additional
protective layer between wool and skin, providing
even more resistance.
EXCELLENT PROPERTIES
Because the wool is treated at the molecular level,
it remains flame-retardant wash after wash. All garments
can be machine-washed at 40° without losing these
excellent properties. The combination of Zirpro-
treated wool and Nomex® provides optimal protection
because the skin is kept as dry as possible. This
is particularly important because water and moisture
conduct heat, which can result in severe burns even
if the outer garments have not been burnt through.
The garments are approved in accordance with EN 469
(0595), Protective Clothing for Firefighters
