How to measure

WAIST: Using a measuring tape, measure the smallest part of your waist, not too snug, not too loose.

INSEAM: Measure straight down the inside leg from the crotch to the ankle.

HEIGHT: Measure from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.

CHEST: Measure under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest.

Fabric

TWILL

Twill weaves are characterized by small diagonal lines and are generally heavier than their ripstop counterparts. The higher thread count of twill weaves make them excellent at resisting wind, water and wrinkles.

RIPSTOP

Ripstop is a type of plain weave that integrates coarse fibers throughout the fabric in a grid pattern. This reinforced grid provides optimal protection against rips and tears while retaining lightweight characteristics.

60% COTTON / 40% POLYESTER TWILL

This heavy-weight cloth manufactured in a twill weave is a very sturdy and long-life performer in the public safety community. The fabric blend balances comfort, durability and color integrity while offering wind and wrinkle resistance. It is slightly heavier than its ripstop counterpart and if torn, twill will not prevent a tear from growing like ripstop weaves do.

BATTLE RIP® 65% POLYESTER / 35% COTTON RIPSTOP

Propper is proud to offer Battle Rip®, our exclusive polyester/cotton blend manufactured in a ripstop weave for superior longevity. This all-season fabric is durable, comfortable and fade-resistant. These qualities, along with color integrity, quick-drying capabilities and tear prevention, make Battle Rip® our fabric of choice for the public safety community.

100% COTTON RIPSTOP

Cotton ripstop was once the fabric of choice for the original Hot Weather BDUs (HWBDU) in the late 80’s because it is lighter-weight, breathable, tear-resistant and comfortable. As an all-natural fiber, cotton will fade, wrinkle and shrink faster than modern synthetic fabric blends. Cotton fibers will also lose their strength under industrial wear and long-term laundering.

60% COTTON / 40% POLYESTER RIPSTOP

This fabric blend is widely used in public safety apparel due to its balance between durability and color integrity versus 100% cotton. The ripstop weave contributes to abrasion and tear-resistance. Choose 60% cotton / 40% polyester ripstop BDUs when heavy-duty wear is expected in warmer conditions.

65% POLYESTER / 35% COTTON TWILL

This heavy-duty fabric provides excellent color integrity, shrink resistance and long-lasting durability. The addition of synthetic fibers make the material more rugged and quicker to dry than materials with a higher percentage of cotton fibers. The twill weave also contributes to wind and wrinkle resistance but does not provide protection against rips or tears.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH
ARAMID?

A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING FLIGHT SUITS

Aramid is a class of synthetic fiber used extensively in military and aerospèce applications. Aramid fabric is extremely durable and heat-resistant thanks in part to its chemical structure.

The name Aramid is shorthand for:

" AROMATIC

In chemistry, this means atoms arranged in circular structures with a ring of strong resonance bonds.

POLYAMIDE "

This is a polymer with repeating units linked together in long chains with amide bonds.

These ring structures form chains of molecules that are alinged with the length of Aramid fibers, so the chemical bonds add to the fiber strength.

THE RESULT:

Aramid products are incredibly durable, and can take a lot of abuse.

Aramid cord can have a tensile strength-to-weight ratio up to 5x stronger than steel.

Woven para-aramid is used to reinforce racing tires and ship hulls, and is the material inside most modern body armor.

Aramid also has excellent electrical and heat resistance, and is the main component of a wide range of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Specialized meta-aramid fabrics are so flame resistant that they will not melt or ignite in normal levels of oxygen.

And aramid manages to accomplish all this while still being light weight enough for aerospace applications, where every additional gram counts.

ARAMID vs NOMEX^®

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Nomex^® is Aramid.

More specifically, Nomex^® is the branded name of meta-aramid products made by DuPont.

All meta-aramid flight suits have the same heat-resistance properties as Nomex^®

All flight suits are built to military specification YACL-WP PD 99-01 R and have exactly the same features.

HOWEVER,

ONLY NOMEX FLIGHT SUITS ARE

NIR COMPLIANT*

NIR compliant flight suits mimic the same radiation levels as the ambient environment, making them harder to detect using near-infrared imaging (NIR) technology.

An NIR compliant suit is essential for flying combat missions, but isn't as neccessary if your flight hours are spent in friendly territory.
