flame-resistant/mil-spec under armor

Post by Aglifter »

Does anyone know what this stuff's called/how to get it? (All I remember is hearing that a flame retardant version was created for soldiers, so they could wear it off base.)

Under Armor's good stuff for maintaining a nice image while working, but it's too hazardous to wear around the plant.

EDIT:

I found the stuff -- has anyone worn it? It's essentially just a nomex t-shirt, w. some "scent-suppressing" stuff in it -- probably important, as smells are hard to get out of technical shirts (sailing shirts...)
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, & our sacred Honor

A gentleman unarmed is undressed.

I've seen some stuff called DriFire, but I haven't gotten any, since it's about $46 bucks for a t-shirt. It's on my list to order while I'm in Iraq, so I can let you know then.
