AeroFlex Turnouts | The Science Behind AeroVent Ventilation

Описание: Get an inside look at the science behind airflow in firefighter turnout gear as we put our AeroFlex® with AeroVent® Technology to the test at the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI). Using a FLIR infrared camera, this video visualizes airflow movement through the garment in real time, revealing how AeroVent’s one‑way ventilation design helps support cooling and comfort on the fireground.

🔬 WHAT WE TESTED
In this controlled experiment, tracer gas was released inside the turnout gear while a FLIR camera tracked how air escaped through the suit’s engineered ventilation zones. The goal: to show how AeroVent® Technology uses pressure differentials to let sweat vapor escape without allowing heat, moisture, or carcinogens back inside.

💨 HOW AEROVENT® WORKS
AeroVent® Technology uses a patent‑pending one‑way ventilation system positioned in key heat‑capture zones — including the armpits and inner thighs — to promote airflow while maintaining full protective integrity. As the firefighter moves, airflow naturally increases, creating a constant cooling sensation inside the gear.

🔥 WHY IT MATTERS
Heat stress is one of the leading factors in firefighter line‑of‑duty deaths. AeroFlex® is engineered to address this risk by combining AeroVent® with VaporLite® Panels, featuring our more breathable 3‑layer composite that allows sweat to evaporate more efficiently. The result: reduced core temperature, improved comfort, and safer performance on scene.

🧪 ABOUT THE IFSI EXPERIMENT
This FLIR‑powered airflow visualization is one of several scientific validations demonstrating how AeroFlex® outperforms traditional turnout gear in regulating core body temperature and managing physiological stress.
