Get ready for PBI® Peak5®: the ultimate performance in firefighting gear

At TenCate Protective Fabrics, we’re thrilled to be launching PBI^® Peak5^®: an innovative new outer shell fabric. PBI^® Peak5^® is sure to be a game-changer for firefighters — read on to find out more.

What is PBI^® Peak5^®?

We have been working for several years to develop a new outer shell fabric incorporating PBI^® fibres. PBI^® Products have been recognised for manufacturing the leading high-performance protective fire-resistant fibre, which has been on the market for almost 40 years. 

It was our goal to develop a fabric which would be lighter in weight and more open-weaved than other solutions currently on the market. This ambition was directly informed by investigating what end users were demanding from the market: lightweight fabrics with heavyweight properties.

This has lead us to today, where we are proud to launch PBI^® Peak5^®. PBI® Peak5^® was developed as a direct response to the growing need in the fire services market for outer shell fabrics that are lighter weight without compromising on protective qualities.

What are the benefits of PBI^® Peak5^®?

Introducing our brand new outer shell PBI^® Peak5^®

• It has the highest percentage of PBI^® fibre content than any other product currently on the market, providing the wearer with leading, premium thermal protection.
  
  
• It has been strengthened by Enforce^® technology. This  keeps the fabric both durable and lightweight — a vast improvement from previous solutions which were bulky and uncomfortable for the wearer.
  
  
• It features a breathable Peak Twill construction, which provides the wearer with a greater range of motion and increased levels of comfort on the job.
  
  
• It is reinforced with Kevlar^® filament, to keep it strong and lessen wear-and-tear throughout regular usage.
  
  
• It is an open weave fibre, which helps keep both heat and moisture out. This means that the chance of heatstress is lowered, whilst also keeping the wearer comfortable for longer.
  
  
• Thanks to its lighter weight, PBI^® Peak5^® offers the wearer an increased range of motion. Heavier fabric solutions require greater energy exertion from the wearer in order to move around; but with PBI^® Peak5^®, the wearer can focus that energy on their work on the field. 
  
  
• PBI^® Peak5^® is the first global outer shell. It has been certified to multiple global standards, making it available for an international market.
