The New Choice for Wildland Firefighting

Superior Comfort - Rugged Durability - NFPA 1977 Compliant

When you spend long rigorous days battling forest fires in a high-risk environment, you want to be comfortable, you need to be safe, and you demand value that lasts. Westex Inc., a world leader in flame resistant fabrics, has focused their primary objective on developing a fabric that offers the optimum balance of PROTECTION, COMFORT and VALUE.

Decades of research and development have lead to a revolutionary new fabric for wildland garments called INDURA® Ultra Soft®. Westex’s new advanced INDURA® Ultra Soft® flame resistant fabrics are a blend of 88% cotton and 12% high tenacity nylon. The product is engineered to focus the excellent abrasion resistance of the nylon on the face of the fabric to enhance garment wear life, while the cotton fibers are focused towards the skin to optimize comfort. Like Westex’s original INDURA® 100% cotton, INDURA® Ultra Soft® is guaranteed flame resistant for the life of the garment and new advancements in technology have lead to an extremely soft feel that enhances the breathable comfort of cotton. UL recognized performance to NFPA 1977.
