New series of Polartec® FR fabrics from DragonWear

Available January 2014

November 18, 2013
Elements® Fr sweatshirt

Elements® Fr sweatshirt

Starting January 2014 we will be introducing a new series of Polartec® FR fabrics that are HRC 2 and certified for NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 1975. We worked with Polartec® to create these new lighter weight, higher protection fabrics with the goal of keeping you both safer and more comfortable. DragonWear® – the clothes you live in.

Our products are inspired by your requests and feedback, so if you’ve ever felt there was some way to improve our products or service - even if it’s only a little bit – we’d sure love to hear from you.

Elements® Fr sweatshirt

Bring on the wind, rain, or snow. Our Elements ¼ zip FR sweatshirt redefines what you can expect from a sweatshirt. Wind resistant outer fabric surface and durable water repellent finish will block wind and shed light rain and snow. This will quickly become your go-to sweatshirt.

NEW for 2014: We decreased the fabric weight by 20% while increasing the fabric durability, maintaining the warmth, and continuing to protect you from wind and light rain.
