The Merits of FROG Thermal Undergarments

The undergarments you wear play a large part in your comfort and safety, especially if you work in a dangerous environment. Most people are aware of the importance of high-quality undergarments when the temperatures dip down low. However, comparably few understand why Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) undergarments are so important in the context of a flash safety environment.

The Merits of FROG Military Thermal Underwear

Working in an environment that poses the threat of combustion, fire, extreme heat or extreme cold requires considerable preparation and protection. FROG military thermal underwear is one of the most important components of that protection. Even if heat or flames move through your outermost layer of gear, your FROG military thermal underwear will provide an invaluable last layer of protection.

FROG military thermal underwear is military-approved, meaning it is built to withstand the rigors of battle including flames and inclement weather. These garments are treated with specialized chemical additives for flame-resistance. Our FROG products are available as both silk and midweight tops and bottoms. We also have military-approved non-FROG silk and fleece weight undergarments.

Any Old Undergarment Will Not Suffice

Traditional “long johns” will certainly help keep you warm in the winter months yet they are not enough, especially for those who work in roles that have the potential to lead to flash fire exposure. Flash fires occur when gas, vapor, dust or another flammable particle is ignited in the air. This type of fire is particularly dangerous as its flame moves quickly, spreading from the ignition source to surrounding areas in mere seconds. Even brief contact with such heat can prove deadly. This is precisely why Army Navy Outdoors is proud to carry FROG undergarments.

The majority of the garments on the market do not provide protection against flash fire. Only a small segment of these garments provides fully certified protection against flash fire. In these events polyester thermals which is essentially plastic, will melt causing more Skin damage. Cotton thermals, although will not melt will quickly ignite and increase the risk of fire injury.Choose certified military FROG thermal underwear and you will be able to work or serve in full confidence knowing you have a last line of defense against potentially deadly heat.
