FIRE FLEX Protective suit certified according to EN 469,
EN 1149-5, EN 61482-2, EN 343, and EN 14360.
Professional protection. Perfect fit
Only those who can rely 100 % on their material are able to keep a cool head and act correctly in a dangerous situation. The mission is clear: a firefighter’s suit must fit like a second skin and offer extensive, armor-like protection.
With the FIRE FLEX, you get the most sophisticated protective suit on the market
Ergonomic – utmost emphasis was placed on the ergo nomic cut and the perfect fit in all sizes and lengths.
Flexible – the material, the careful workmanship and the perfect fit create freedom of movement during operations, without resistance and without restriction.
Innovative – sophisticated features developed by experts facilitate intuitive handling on site
Extremely comfortable protection. Tailored protection.
Triple, uncompromising protection
When a new protective suit is designed, the focus is primarily placed on the three greatest dangers of extreme use: heat transfer, waterproofing, and resistance to water vapor permeation. In these three areas, the highest level of protection is achieved in all categories.
High-tech from Rosenbauer
Rosenbauer protective suits have always offered maximum imperme
ability to viruses and bacteria. For Rosenbauer, this feature for the
protection of emergency crews is not only a matter of course, but also a
significant competitive edge.
Best wearing comfort through Ergocut.
The perfect cut has a name: Ergocut. This precise fine-tuning of the fit offers
maximum wearing comfort. Rosenbauer does not regard a comfortable cut as
an optional extra. At the end of the day, fit and comfort give emergency crews
greater freedom of movement, and are therefore essential safety aspects. If
the finely tuned standard sizes are not suitable for the customer, a customized
body size can also be manufactured when necessary

Dedicated to comfort. Committed to safety.
Flexible
Combining the best possible protection with optimum wearing comfort is one of the greatest chal lenges. The FIRE FLEX not only offers a modern, sporty look, but also affords freedom of move ment without restrictions in everyday firefighting situations. Improved sleeve cuts and a special shoulder-arm construction guarantee enormous mobility. The collar has also been adapted to the natural head posture and sits optimally without constricting during longer periods of use. Thanks to a new application technique, the reflective stripes offer maximum freedom of movement combined with high breathability
Innovative
All activities and actions performed on-site by the emergency personnel must be as intuitive as possible. FIRE FLEX supports this with ergonomically designed features. Padded grip pieces on the flaps of the pockets and the zipper make it easier to grasp safely; versatile pockets and fastening devices offer count less possibilities at the scene of the emergency. The segmented strips used for improved visibility have been covered over and integrated into a sophisticated overall concept. These are patched instead of sewn on and are thus not only more flexible, but also more breathable.
Due to the absence of seams, there is no abrasion load on the material. Robust absorption barriers at all critical points prevent moisture from penetrating through to the inside of the protective suit. In particular, a completely new, breathable 3-layer absorption barrier material is used for the sleeve hem and front trim. A smooth-running panic zipper made of special plastic remains fully functional even if the teeth are slightly damaged.
Ergonomic
In an emergency, the fit can also be critical. With the FIRE FLEX, we have
succeeded in designing an ergonomic protective suit. It must withstand
moisture, cold, heat and fire – in terms of safety, the Rosenbauer brand has always set the highest standards. However, the FIRE FLEX manages to guarantee the highest degree of agility thanks to its revolutionary Ergocut. A feeling like a second skin, without compromising safety.

NOMEX® NXT
The FIRE FLEX protective suit made of NOMEX® NXT, a further development of NOMEX® Tough, is an excellent choice both visually and tech nically. It also scores with an excellent wash appearance. Even after many washes, the protective clothing retains its color and shape. The special long-term impregnation (up to 40
washes without re-impregnation) and the enormous tear strenght of the NXT material ensure a particularly long service life.
NOMEX® XTR
The FIRE FLEX protective suit made of NOMEX® XTR with its innovative design is the latest development in the FIRE FLEX series. The optimized material composition consists of 82 % metaaramide, 16 % paraaramide and 2 % antistatic fiber. It has an excellent wash appearance and light fastness due to the shift of the paraaramide portion to the inside of the fabric, better thermal insulation due to the three-dimensional structure and Powershell long term impregnation (up to 40 washes without re impregnation).
X55 with PBI
The protective suit is also available in a two-color version in the X55 with PBI material version. Gold and brown creates design contrasts and sets accents. The fashionable design gives it a particularly good look. The shoulder area is accentuated in powerful brown. Also in this variant, the protective suit retains its shape and color after many washes.
