AGILE

Hainsworth Protective Fabrics Stand: D27
AGILE is a tightly woven gabardine structure of ultra-fine yarns, which creates an exceptionally durable fabric with excellent thermal stability. This construction is carefully designed to balance the requirements between a light weight fabric and protection for the wearer. 

Developed in collaboration with firefighters 
Before we developed AGILE, we spoke to firefighters to learn how they thought their kit could be improved. The overwhelming feedback was that they were confident in the protection their kit offered, but felt it could be more comfortable. As a result, AGILE was developed to be lightweight, flexible and durable while offering excellent protection against liquid chemicals, heat and flame. 

Letting you move naturally 

Heat stress is the greatest risk to a firefighter. AGILE is constructed from ultra-fine yarns, giving the fabric a lower weight of 180 gsm. This means that it places less strain on the body, allowing for increased endurance and performance. 

Confidence in all areas of protection

The patented Gabardine Plus construction of densely packed yarns results in a stronger fabric with increased resistance to break-open, leaving you confident that your kit will work with you to perform. The tight weave and our REPEL+ treatment give maximum resistance to the penetration of liquid chemicals, meaning harmful particulates have less chance of passing through the fabric. 

Constructed to last 

AGILE can withstand 60 wash cycles without losing any of its protective qualities and is highly resistant to abrasion, keeping you safer and smarter for longer.
