Driguard Pro FR Base Layer: Short Sleeve Tee
PGI’s DriGuard™ PRO FR t-shirts and undergarments provide the last layer of defense and the first layer of comfort. This inventive fabric brings ease-of-wear and flame resistance together in an incredibly lightweight base layer weighing only 4.5 osy (150 gsm). DriGuard base layers are the perfect compliment to multi-layer flame-resistant clothing systems. DriGuard t-shirts and undergarments are non-contributory — meaning they won’t ignite, melt, drip or adhere to the skin, enhancing the combined protection of your FR outer layers. The fabric is extraordinarily soft and comfortable, yet offers better protection than conventional cotton base layer alternatives.

Dual-Technology Antimicrobial and Odor Control
DriGuard PRO FR Base Layers provide “smart release” technology, releasing its unique antimicrobial properties when microbes are present. Fabric is treated with a powerful antimicrobial treatment that inhibits microbes with a trimodal efficacy, via zeolite carrier, by starvation, sterilization and suffocation, leaving no resistant strains behind. In addition to unparalleled antimicrobial performance DriGuard PRO FR Base Layers incorporate a powerful zeolite odor absorber capturing odor molecules released from the body for total odor control.
Protection
DriGuard PRO FR Base Layers provide lightweight, next to-the-skin protection and comfort for firefighters, police, military, industrial professionals and search & rescue personnel. Unlike conventional cotton or synthetic blend base layer alternatives, DriGuard PRO is inherently flame resistant and won’t ignite, melt, drip or adhere to the skin.
Comfort
DriGuard PRO FR Base Layers are incredibly absorbent, breathable and lightweight for enhanced comfort. Similar to silk in feel, DriGuard PRO fabric has an extremely smooth, soft surface that drapes beautifully. The fabric’s surface feels soft and supple against the skin with superb wicking abilities that keep the skin dry, making it a great fabric for sensitive skin.
Dual-Technology Odor Control
Most “anti-odor” apparel simply incorporates an antimicrobial treatment. Antimicrobials applied to apparel fabrics do an excellent job controlling the growth of odor causing bacteria. However, antimicrobials alone will not stop all odor. Along with the odor being caused by bacteria, your body also releases odor vapors that can pass through the fabric and be detected as odors. DriGuard PRO FR Base Layers incorporate a dual-technology finish combining a powerful antimicrobial and odor absorber. The trimodal finish constantly delivers antimicrobial efficacy destroying more than 99% of odor causing bacteria and capturing odor molecules from the body for the life of the garment.
Easy Care
DriGuard PRO FR Base Layers have good wrinkle and shrink resistance and color fastness. Garments can be home laundered and dried or industrial laundered and dried. driguardfr.com
