CORDURA® Advanced Fabrics is advancing military clothing innovation with the introduction of CORDURA Comfort FR™, its newest inherently flame resistant (FR) fabric solution. The CORDURA® team will be showcasing how this breakthrough technology can deliver a combination of lightweight comfort, durability, and reduced total cost of ownership—all engineered to meet the demanding needs of military and tactical professionals.
Forged for Comfort
Protective clothing can save lives only when it's worn consistently. CORDURA Comfort FR™ is designed to be lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, with the ability to incorporate stretch without sacrificing FR protection. This encourages daily wear in high-risk military and tactical settings, ensuring users stay focused and unencumbered by heavy, restrictive gear.
Forged for the Mission
CORDURA Comfort FR™ next-generation fabrics are engineered with patented thermally resistant nylon fiber technology in blends with other inherently FR fibers to handle the toughest jobs. These inherently FR fabrics are designed to protect military and tactical personnel who regularly operate in high-risk and hazardous environments, making them an ideal choice for modern military uniforms and tactical wear.
Forged to Outperform
Building on more than 55 years of CORDURA® brand expertise, CORDURA Comfort FR™ utilizes patented thermally resistant nylon fiber technology with similar tenacity to INVISTA's military-grade T420 nylon-6,6 staple fiber to enhance fabric abrasion and tear resistance with superior UV resistance to dyed aramids. These qualities ensure long-lasting uniforms that can provide protection against hazards like flash fire and arc flash, require fewer replacements, and offer excellent colorfastness and printability for easy customization.
"We're proving that comfort and durability don't have to be a trade-off in protective gear," said Trey Fonde, CORDURA® Director of Global Business Development. "By leveraging INVISTA's advanced thermally resistant nylon fiber technology and decades of fabric expertise, we've developed a truly next-generation solution that delivers the durability, comfort, and value tactical applications demand. Our focus is on improving safety outcomes while providing real benefits to military apparel manufacturers and those who serve."
CORDURA Comfort FR™ provides versatile protection that extends well beyond military applications. Fabrics can be developed to also meet industrial standards like NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E, offering dependable protection for professionals working in hazardous environments such as oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing.
