Protective Apparel — Military

Special Forces: In the air, on land, and at sea -- PBI can protect the defenders of freedom. Protection and performance should go hand-in-hand; PBI and its exclusive fiber technology provides better protection from heat and flame than traditional high-strength Aramid fibers. Personal protective fabrics made with PBI perform better for those in the line of fire. PBI fibers are finer, more flexible and more dimensionally stable than conventional Aramid fibers allowing the fabrication of a lighter, thinner and more comfortable protective garment. That same protective lightweight quality provides the foundation for the ultimate in lightweight heat and flame protection. Performance and protection are critical to any mission, so make sure to specify PBI blended fabrics -- the ultimate protection for any tour of duty.

PBI is now being used to protect US Marines personnel and is being evaluated across all the armed services
