Reliant AIR meets the FR and physical fabric requirements of ASTM 1506, and has been tested to ASTM F-1959, receiving an exceptional arc rating of 16+, qualifying the fabric as an NFPA 70E Level 2 fabric.

Its airlight 7.25 oz fabric construction provides insulating properties to keep you comfortable during extreme temperature changes - so you feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
