Wrangler® FR and Mount
Vernon FR have partnered to launch a breakthrough collection of Wrangler FR
jeans with revolutionary Cool Vantage™ technology. Made with Mount Vernon
FR’s Cooleemee FR fabric, the jeans feature enhanced comfort due to proprietary
cooling technology that wicks perspiration, pulling moisture to the outside of
the garment where it can evaporate quickly. This
technology increases comfort without sacrificing the protection or durability
that a great pair of FR jeans can provide, and is the first-ever application of
cooling or moisture-wicking features to an FR denim jean.
“Wrangler is dedicated to
developing the toughest products for the toughest consumers,” said Ashley Farrar, workwear & FR merchandising
manager at Wrangler. “Mount Vernon FR has assisted us in developing flame
resistant clothing that combines unprecedented performance, durability and
comfort, a winning combination that keeps wearers cool, dry and protected when
it matters most.”
The
evaporative cooling process works in harmony with the body’s natural cooling
mechanisms to regulate body temperature in hot conditions or during periods of
physical exertion. With cooling benefits woven into the fabric that will
not wash out over time, Wrangler FR jeans with Cool Vantage technology are
developed to last for the wear life of the garment.
“At Mount Vernon FR, we are
committed to continually evolving our FR fabric offerings to meet the needs of
consumers, without any tradeoffs. Safety managers should never have to make
compromises when it comes to the comfort and durability of the FR apparel that
they provide to their employees, which is why this collection is so important,”
said Mike Woods, vice president of FR fabrics for Mount Vernon FR. “Wrangler FR
has always been a pioneer in creating FR clothing with superior performance, and
we’re proud to have partnered with them on this
collection.”
Wrangler FR Cool Vantage jeans are
offered in a variety of fits and finishes for both men and women, providing
several stylish denim options for staying cool, comfortable and
protected.
The jeans are NFPA 2112 certified,
featuring ASTM F1506 compliant fabric with an arc rating of 15
cal/cm2.
