(Marietta, Georgia) Tru-Spec®, an acknowledged leader in the development of innovative apparel for law enforcement and public safety professionals, has jumped into the FR market aggressively with the introduction of a new line of fire resistant apparel manufactured from a remarkable new fabric dubbed “INTERLOCK™”, a unique DuPont™ Nomex® blend.
Tru-Spec® 6.5 oz. INTERLOCK™ combines tried and true Nomex® with cotton. The result is a very affordable uniform that’s comfortable, breathable, durable, and contains excellent flame retardant properties to help protect against burns – a very real danger for today’s tactical officers, uniform cops and aircraft personnel. In addition to the protection afforded by Nomex®, the 80% cotton fabric is also chemically treated for additional fire resistance, and the cotton helps ensure superior comfort as well as a price point up to 20% to 30% less than other FR apparel. Superior moisture wicking, breathability and abrasion resistance are also INTERLOCK™ signature features.
Initially, Tru-Spec® will offer INTERLOCK™ fabric in its popular Tactical Response Uniform (TRU) and in a CWU27-P Flight Suit. Five color offerings are available.
