isodriTM Protective Systems give you what you deserve. isodriTM is a system of
components that work together to provide breakthrough solutions to the
proven problems of wet turnout gear.

Think water is your friend?
Water is a great tool for fighting fires. It extinguishes flames by displacing air
and its oxygen. And, a well placed fog pattern is the quickest way to knock
down heat because the water droplets absorb so much thermal energy.
But, beware of the steam blow back, and beware of wet gear.

Water is your enemy, too!
Besides adding lots of weight to your clothing, water absorbs heat and stores
it because it is so dense. When water from sweat, hose streams, or rain is
sucked into your bunker gear, it displaces the insulating air. That's not a good thing!

At 200° F, water transfers heat 21 times faster than air.
At 200° F, water transfers heat 21 times faster than the insulating air you thought
you had. Every fire fighter knows that heated water is volatile and can release
explosive energy in the form of dangerous steam. But water can
(and frequently does) cause burn injuries without warning or apparent damage
to your gear at temperatures well below steam conditions.

The drier the better
Air is lighter than water and, because of its lower density, it's a very poor heat
conductor. As air heats, it expands and becomes even less dense. Air is stable
and predictable. It is simply the best insulator.

Every component is engineered for superior water resistance and fast drying.

isodriTM — a watershed in the science
of fire fighter safety

 All isodriTM systems are engineered to reduce the water and, therefore,
the heat storage capacity of your turnouts. Each and every layer delivers
superior water resistance and remarkably faster drying time — from the
outer shell to the moisture barrier to the thermal barrier. Even the wristlets
are measurably drier. isodri apertured thermal liners promote higher
air permeability than other systems and complement state-of-the-art
moisture barriers like W.L. Gore's CROSSTECH® Moisture Barrier.
isodri outer shells are available in a wide range of sensational fabrics,
nd only they come with the revolutionary Teflon® F/PPE to shed water
and promote rapid drying of the entire system.
