By: Brian For years, Nomex® has been the “go-to” fabric of choice for fire retardancy. But Gibson-Barnes’ “The Nomex technology was great, but it’s basically been around since the 1960’s,” says Gibson-Barnes’ The most important feature in first responder’s uniform is fire protection. In tests, Defiant Plus fabric had only a 23% body burn rate, compared to 34% for comparable weight Nomex--an improvement that will save lives and reduce injury. Defiant Plus is also softer on the skin and outperforms Nomex in shrinking and charring in burn tests. “Our goal has always been customer safety,” Says Tyler Wegge, Gibson-Barnes President and CEO. “We have been providing innovative products to Pilots, EMTs, Law Enforcement and the Military for over 30 years. If we can’t make the best possible product in a category, we don’t do it. We understand people rely on first responders to help them and keep them safe...we do the same for the first responders.” Gibson & Barnes has been a premiere supplier of flight suits, uniforms, leather jackets, flight helmets and communications equipment for EMS, law enforcement and pilots for over 30 years. In 2003, Gibson & Barnes expanded into the military contracting arena, designing, creating, and patenting innovative garments and accessories for soldiers in the Army and Navy.
