PBI Max™ is a premium structural firefighting outer shell engineered to combine thermal stability, strength, flexibility, and durability. Its blend of PBI® and Kevlar® fibers incorporates para-aramid filament technology to provide a strong, flexible outer shell for demanding fireground conditions.
PBI Max™ combines PBI® and Kevlar® fibers with filament-reinforced construction to deliver a durable premium outer shell designed for structural firefighting protective clothing.
PBI® fibers provide high thermal stability and do not melt, drip, or become brittle when exposed to flame.
Para-aramid filament reinforcement is incorporated into the fabric construction to support strength and durability.
A 7.0 oz/yd² Comfort Twill construction balances protection, durability, and flexibility for movement on the fireground.
