A Legacy of Protection

PBI® fiber is well known among firefighters… and for good reason. It’s known for providing great protection and comfort. By combining PBI® fiber with DuPont® Kevlar® fiber and filament, TenCate Protective Fabrics engineered a top of-the-line outer shell fabric. Tough enough to face any challenge, this legendary material boasts a traditional rip-stop appearance that firefighters recognize instantly.

Engineered to provide the best protection possible, PBI® Stretch XT also provides comfort and ease of movement. This outer shell fabric provides one of the highest levels of PBI® protection on the market. Firefighters trust PBI® and they know where to get it.
