Abstract
The textile material is a weave wherein the warps are made of multifilamentary aramid yarns, while the wefts comprise alternate multifilamentary aramid yarns and spun aramid yarns. When used in conjunction with a firefighter garment, the shell increases wearer comfort, reduces metabolic energy requirements and decreases metabolic heat build-up.
