How safe will you feel next time you're entering a smoke-filled, 850-degree room, where you might easily snag and tear holes in your turnouts?

It depends on the outer shell you're wearing.

TenCate outer shell fabrics provide durability, flexibility and thermal protection - guaranteed. Our outer shell fabrics promise outstanding strength and integrity before and after thermal exposure.
Outer shells made with our innovative fabrics provide a tough, durable and safe first line of defense against heat, flame and abrasion.
