Innovative use of the best fabrics


VIKING’s innovative design allows fire-fighters to conserve energy and concentrate fully on the business of saving lives. Our designers know fabrics and they know what it takes to create fire-fighter clothing with the best combination of fabrics and features for optimal protection, durability and freedom of movement. We offer a wide range of fire-fighter clothing to match global customer requirements.



Unique fabrics and layer combinations with a focus on comfort and performance.


OUTER FABRICS



The unique use of dual layers of NOMEX® and KEVLAR® give superior textile properties. It not only creates air pockets and insulation in a critical flash over situation, but also reduces UV degration and improves the lifespan of the garment.

NOMEX® Titan™ (TI-technology)
This dual protection outer fabric offers the highest thermal protection available. A quality textile that looks good, feels good and has the durability and abrasion resistance necessary to last. A very good investment. Colours: dark navy blue, gold, desert tan, yellow.

NOMEX® Tough™
Popular material due to the optimal combination of price and quality. The durable outer layer consists of 75% NOMEX fibres, 23% KEVLAR for textile strength, and 2% P140 fibres to make the material anti-static.

NOMEX® III
Traditional material available in a wide range of colours, combining 95% NOMEX® fibre and 5% KEVLAR(R).



MOISTURE BARRIERS

GORE-TEX Fireblocker™
Excellent moisture barrier for EN 469 gear. Superior resistance to liquid penetration above and beyond EN 469 requirements. Exceptionally durable and at the same time breathable .

GORE-TEX Airlock®
Unique combination of heat protection and moisture barrier. The GORE-TEX moisture barrier layer with silicon dots eliminates the need for a thermal protection layer, making the combination less bulky for better freedom of movement and lighter total weight.


THERMAL LINER

Duflot ISOMEX® Iso’Air™ VIKING fire-fighter clothing includes top quality Duflot ISOMEX® Iso’Air™ MHT thermal liner. This uniquely lightweight thermal liner enhances breatheability while maintaining thermal protection. This fabric uniquely optimises the flow of air under the gear to minimize the risk of heat stress.
