The original extended wear life fabric!
When things get hot, you want to know that your clothing meets or exceeds the toughest industry standards, and BANWEAR is still the best choice for multi-purpose protection from electric arcs, flash fires and welding.
BANWEAR was pioneered by ITEX in 1994, incorporating our patented flame retardant technology developed specifically to leverage the durability and endothermic properties of nylon for long wear life and improved flame protection. This blend of 88% cotton with 12% nylon eliminates the need to wear T-shirts to achieve industry standards for flame and electric arc protection.
Over the last decade, BANWEAR has changed the way people think about protective clothing, delivering comfort, protection and wear life never before thought possible in a single fabric. In fact, BANWEAR fabrics deliver the best protection combined with the lowest cost per wearing in the industry. BANWEAR now has added softness that delivers the full potential of cotton comfort. And flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment!
To obtain all of the cost savings provided by their long wear life, BANWEAR garments are best suited for working environments where garments are expected to last 4-5 years.
