Cadiz firefighters take delivery of Bristol fire kit

摘要

The contract was secured through Bristol's international distributor El Corte Ingles, who fought off stiff competition to secure the four-year contract.Cadiz has ordered 780 sets of Bristol's lightweight, ergonomic XFlex design (called FireFlex in Spain), with integrated safety harnesses incorporated into the jacket and trouser.The kit has a Hainsworth TITAN1250 outer - a highly breathable fabric featuring Nomex and a high percentage of Kevlar, which gives the fabric outstanding tensile and tear strength. In addition, it has a GORE-TEX FIREBLOCKER moisture barrier, which is made from a micro-porous breathable fabric that stops water passing through to the firefighter's personal clothing, whilst allowing sweat to escape and reducing heat stress.
