Fire-Dex® FDXL90 Boots

Best-in-Class Breathability
The FDXL90 underwent rigorous testing that not only meets Gore’s standards but exceeds NFPA requirements. Tested was the performance of the entire system, comprising of upper materials and linings. The FDXL90 proved flawless under a range of conditions for overall breathability and waterproof performance.

The whole boot breathability test is a crucial step in the footwear qualification process that any new design must pass to gain approval for production by Gore. During this test, shoes are placed on artificial feet that simulate perspiration, then placed inside a climate chamber to measure vapor diffusion and absorption. This two-pronged approach ensures that all components work in unison to deliver comfort for each intended use. Due to the combination of its high-quality components, the FDXL90 boot exceeded the Gore whole boot breathability requirements by 175%.

To test waterproof performance, the FDXL90 was put through three tests at Gore, the Walking Simulator, Wicking Test, and Centrifugal Tester, exceeding minimum requirements.
