U.S. Patent 10,183,465

MASSIF® BATTLESHIELD X® (made with DuPont Nomex® + DuPont Kevlar®)
DURABLE + HIGHLY BREATHABLE WITH ENHANCED FLAME PROTECTION


Massif® Battleshield X® is a revolutionary flame-resistant fabric engineered to provide warmth and protection from wind, rain, and snow. The extremely durable face of Battleshield X® takes advantage of a polyamide fiber blend not previously available in flame-resistant fabrics, which significantly improves the abrasion resistance and tear strength of the fabric while reducing conductive heat loss in cold, wet weather. Equally important, this fabric features WINDSTOPPER® technology by GORE-TEX LABS; a highly water-resistant, 100% windproof, and very breathable membrane. The interior of Battleshield X® features Massif®’s soft, high-loft Nomex® fleece fabric to ensure outstanding warmth and flame protection. The result is an extremely durable, highly breathable fabric with a superior warmth-to-weight ratio that is very water-resistant and fully flame-resistant. Unlike any other flame-resistant fabric, Battleshield X® truly competes with the very best technical performance fabrics on the market today.

YOUR NEXT GENERATION FLIGHT SUIT — Years in the making, we designed our revolutionary new 2-Piece Flight Suit from direct user feedback across multiple branches and platforms. Our team wanted to enhance the capabilities of the modern aviator and aircrewman with innovative design features unique to our garments. A Massif® designed and patented attachment system allows flexibility and movement between the jacket and pant while still aiding coverage in flash fire events. In addition, mesh-lined shoulder pockets give the jacket enhanced heat-stress mitigation and quick-drying capabilities that have transformed the comfort of the garment. With proper seam placement, donning & doffing zippers, durable ripstop fabric with DuPont™ Nomex®, and a modern athletic fit, we’ve left nothing to chance in revolutionizing your next flight suit. Approved by NAVAIR for use within the U.S. Navy and U.S Marine Corps and AFSOC approved for use in the U.S. Air Force.
