“The evolution of the FR mesh is a direct result of having so our warfighters tell us that, in their FR base layer, they needed something that would breathe and provide some air permeability under their other protective pieces,” says Sherry Lyons, Director of Global Sales for XGO. She goes on to explain, “while it meets the U.S. Military / Natick standards for FR, it also wicks and allows the flow of air for increased comfort.”

The new fabric will initially be offered in a short and long sleeve top, boxer brief, and neck pipe. The FR Mesh line will be available April 2013 through select retailers and online at proxgo.com.
