GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Rescue Stretch

GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Rescue Stretch sets a new standard in personal protection for technical rescue, bringing together proven GORE® technologies to create a solution that delivers previously unheard-of performance and freedom of movement.

That’s great – but what does all that mean?

Until now, protection for rescue work has always involved compromise – either working in more insulated and robust structural gear that over protects for technical rescue situations, or operating in lightweight suits that offer minimum protection and quickly become uncomfortable when facing inclement weather.

GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Stretch is an innovative fabric laminate from W.L Gore & Associates. It combines multiple GORE-TEX technologies to create a new fabric that sets the bar for breathable rescue protective wear. Here we break down the features to give you a better idea of what your getting with GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Rescue Stretch.

GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® is liquid proof technology that prevents penetration of blood and body fluids that can contain viruses and bacteria – a critical feature for modern-day first responders.

PYRAD® product technology provides heat, flame and flash-fire protection for rescue workers, defence personnel and industrial workers. The antistatic fabric also helps to protect against arc flash incidents.

Built to move with the body – the GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Stretch laminate is a 4-way stretch fabric delivering agility and comfort to the user. Full garment stretch technology maximises elasticity and wearer comfort achieving 13% stretch at 30N and 95% recovery after just one minute.

GORE-TEX proven technology makes the fabric durably wind and waterproof to EN 343 Class 4 – full weather garment certification.

In short revolutionary GORE-TEX CROSSTECH® PYRAD® Rescue Stretch is a game changer for technical rescue, combining several of Gore’s proven world leading technologies in a unique rescue application.
