FireDex: AeroFlex Turnouts

AeroFlex® revolutionizes firefighter safety with unmatched breathability and heat stress protection. Designed with VaporLite® Panels and AeroVent® Technology, AeroFlex® supports core body temperature regulation, encouraging airflow to keep your body cool and comfortable without compromising the protection you need!

In the line of duty, your biggest danger is heat stress. As your core temperature rises, you lose the ability to concentrate, make sound decisions, and think critically. Today, heat stress contributes to over half of reported line of duty deaths.

When physical exertion leads to accumulation of heat and sweat, your body naturally cools down by allowing sweat to evaporate. Without an escape route for the sweat vapor, it stays trapped against your body.

At Fire-Dex, we’ve discovered that traditional gear fails to cool you down where you need it the most, that’s why we developed AeroFlex®, a groundbreaking leap in firefighter comfort and safety.

We use a breathable, 3-layer composite system that targets the areas of your body where heat becomes most encapsulated, the side seams, armpits, inner thighs, and behind the knees.

These patent-pending VaporLite® Panels allow sweat to evaporate more efficiently than any garment available to the fire service today.

VaporLite® Panels are built exclusively with our TECGEN71® outer shell, CoreCXP™ 1-layer thermal liner, and your choice of either CROSSTECH® Black, STEDAIR® 4000, or Milliken® Assure™ moisture barrier.

TECGEN71® is the only outer shell that can be paired with a single-layer thermal liner thanks to its exceptional breathability and thermal protection, achieving industry-leading Resistance to Evaporative Heat Loss (Ret) and Total Heat Loss (THL) performance. Choose any compositefor the rest of the garment and allow these panels to cool the core.

The first of its kind, our AeroVent® Technology utilizes a patent-pending one-way ventilation design that operates in conjunction with the pressure differential between the outer environment and the microclimate inside your gear, allowing sweat vapor to escape without letting heat inside.

AeroVent® Technology enables you to better regulate your core body temperature, reducing the risk of heat stress and other cardiac-related issues.

Particulate-blocking technology in the vents act as a barrier against potentially harmful carcinogens.

The vents lie within the VaporLite® Panels, with two positioned along the armpits and two placed on the inner thighs, facilitating airflow, and promoting optimal cooling where it matters most.
