ECO-DRY

Hainsworth Protective Fabrics Stand: D27
ECO-DRY is an intelligent fabric designed to be worn as a single layer in wildland and station wear PPE. Wildland PPE has unique design requirements, needing to be comfortable to wear for long stretches of physical activity while still protecting from heat and flame. Designed in collaboration with Australian firefighters, ECO-DRY delivers the comfort, breathability and thermal protection needed for tackling wildfire scenarios. 

Flexibility and mobility 

Wildland firefighters typically have to cover great stretches of land in the harshest conditions. ECO-DRY is woven to offer the mobility and flexibility needed during prolonged call-outs. 

Keep cool under pressure 

Heat stress is the biggest threat to firefighter health. ECODRY is designed to provide as much comfort as possible. The inclusion of merino wool/ Lenzing FR fibre helps the fabric to stay breathable and wick away sweat, keeping the wearer at a steady temperature and preventing overheating. 

Protection from heat and flame 

ECO-DRY contains meta-aramid, para-aramid, and merino wool fibres, which are inherently flame resistant. The result is thermal protection that won’t wash out, wear off or degrade over time. 

Performance that lasts 

ECO-DRY is designed and structured to provide: increased resistance to abrasion, tearing, and pilling; high strength; and excellent colour fastness. Merino wool protects against bacteria growth and odours, meaning the garment can be kept in circulation for longer.
