It’s no big secret that Fire-Dex and Fire Department Coffee get along really well.  

Maybe too well, based on how much fun they seem to be having with our gear. We sent the whole team sets of our AeroFlex gear to try out and, well, see for yourself: 

Clearly Jason and Fenton enjoy their AeroFlex, but just what makes it so special?  

AeroFlex Cools You Down 

The secret sauce is our innovative VaporLite Panels. These panels are put in areas where you sweat the most (armpits and inner thighs) and let hot air out. 

How? With a unique design, the panels act like bellows and pump out hot air from your turnouts when you move your arms or legs. That means your turnouts actually work to help you cool down, instead of trapping hot air and sweat inside your suit.  

AeroFlex is designed to cool you down and help prevent the number one cause of LODDs, heat stress. Heat stress is a major problem for firefighters that’s often made worse by turnouts that don’t breathe well. AeroFlex represents a whole new era of turnouts that turn the traditional turnout on its head—offering incredible protection and unmatched breathability in one garment.  

While independent testing backs up AeroFlex’s cooling and protective abilities, we think Randy James of Fire Department Coffee and Rockford, IL fire department put it best: 

“I think this new AeroFlex from Fire-Dex with VaporLite Panels and AeroVent Technology is a game changer in breathability. You can actually see and touch this technology that's integrated into the turnouts.” 

AeroFlex Fits Better 

We changed the game with VaporLite Panels, but we didn’t stop there! We engineered AeroFlex to fit you better from neck to ankle. We offer customizations that mean AeroFlex can fit any firefighter, no matter their body size or type.  

Fire Department Coffee’s Natalie Adasiewicz unboxed AeroFlex and was surprised by how well it fit.  

AeroFlex is designed to accommodate different body shapes so that it actually fits and doesn’t slide around. We offer multiple fit types for jackets and pants, because turnouts aren’t one-size-fits-all.  

After all, your gear is supposed to protect you. Ill-fitting gear puts you at risk, making it harder to move and do your job.  

Little touches like better shoulder seam placement and flexible knees mean your arms and legs can move better and don’t make you lift up your whole coat when you lift your arms.  

We’re confident that AeroFlex will be the best gear you’ve ever worn. If you don’t want to take our word for it (or Fire Departments Coffee’s word), schedule a wear trial today! You may just be surprised at how good it is in person.
