Advance Quick Delivery Set
This Kevlar®/Nomex® blend product
is probably the most durable outer shell and offers 300%
improvement in char length over Nomex® IIIA outer shells.
Kevlar®/Nomex® stays flexible and supple, maintaining its
integrity after moderately severe thermal exposure. While
Kevlar®/Nomex® is a superior product to Nomex®, customers
are cautioned that the premium outer shells (Pbi™) offer strong
comparative advantages. Kevlar®/Nomex® should be
considered a Nomex® upgrade rather than a Pbi™ equivalent.
Nomex®/Kevlar® is priced between Nomex® and the premium
shell alternatives. We believe Kevlar®/Nomex® is one
of the best of the products positioned between the premium
shells and Nomex® with very good comfort and durability
characteristics. Kevlar®/Nomex® is our recommendation for
knee and/or pocket reinforcements; it wears extremely well.
Kevlar®/Nomex® is also now available with an enhanced
water repellency treatment and in a choice of weights and
pics. The Kevlar®/Nomex® product has traditionally been
available as a three pic (three strands form the rip stop box).
But two pic cloth is also available now. While three pic Rip
Stop should be more durable than two pic, the two pic product
here is a half ounce heavier so that should compensate.
Two pic products will generally be more supple and less likely
to become nappy or fuzzy with wear (one less thread strand
“presented” for abrasion in the box weave).
