Climate change is transforming our forests. Droughts are becoming more frequent and prolonged, increasing the risk of wildfires worldwide. Additionally, the strong winds that often accompany these phenomena turn wildfires into more virulent and dangerous threats, endangering the lives of wildland firefighters and the effectiveness of their equipment on the front lines.
In this context, innovation in technology and materials is essential to ensure the safety and comfort of wildland firefighter equipment. The update to the UNE-EN ISO 15384:2020 standard, replacing the UNE-EN 15614, sets a new benchmark for textile protection for these professionals. At Marina Textil, we are committed to developing fabrics that not only meet these requirements but also prioritize comfort, a key factor in wildland firefighter equipment.
Safety and comfort in wildland firefighter equipment
Among our latest innovations is the Marko AS70RS EA, which incorporates elastane into an uncommon fiber combination. This design significantly enhances mobility, adapting to the movements of the wildland firefighter and offering superior comfort even in the most adverse conditions. By combining comfort with freedom of movement, this fabric makes a difference in extreme situations, establishing itself as a key element in wildland firefighter equipment.
For those who prefer more traditional solutions, we offer the Aramar V240. This fabric uses well-known resistant fibers, such as aramid, combined with FR viscose and elastane, adding a touch of elasticity without compromising protective qualities. This makes the Aramar V240 a reliable option for wildland firefighter equipment that seeks a balance between protection and functionality.
Compliance for wildland firefighter equipment
Both fabrics comply with the UNE-EN 16689:2017 standard for technical rescue tasks. This reflects our commitment to providing comprehensive protection for wildland firefighter equipment, ensuring agility and comfort while tackling increasingly demanding emergencies.
Ready for an uncertain future
Wildfires, intensified by climate change, represent one of the greatest challenges of our time. Wildland firefighter equipment must evolve constantly to guarantee safety and efficiency on the field. Innovation in textile materials is not just a technical improvement but a vital necessity to protect those who risk their lives for the safety of our communities and the preservation of our forests.
