It’s mid-July, the sun is cooking the pavement, and you’ve got a full day of work ahead in a high-risk environment. You need serious flame-resistant protection, but the thought of wearing anything thicker than a T-shirt makes you sweat just thinking about it.
Good news, you don’t have to choose between safety and sanity. You just need the right layers.
And when it comes to summer layering that actually works, MWG FLEXSAFE + MWG EVOLUTION is a combo that delivers in every way that matters.
The Dynamic Duo: FLEXSAFE + EVOLUTION
Let’s break down this powerhouse pairing:
-
MWG FLEXSAFE FR Base Layer
-
ATPV: 4.3 Ultra-light, sweat-wicking, and built to keep your skin cool and dry under pressure.
-
-
MWG EVOLUTION Work Shirt
-
ATPV: 11 Lightweight yet durable with a high-performance FR design, engineered for all-day wear in extreme conditions.
-
On their own, these pieces offer solid flame-resistant protection. But when tested together, FLEXSAFE and EVOLUTION crank the protection all the way up to an impressive ATPV of 27.
Now, let’s talk science.
You might think that 4.3 + 11 = 15.3. But when it comes to FR protection, the math works a little differently.
When layered and tested together, FR garments often provide significantly higher protection than the sum of their parts. Why? Because the layers trap air, which acts as insulation and slows the transfer of heat during an arc flash or flash fire.
The key here is testing. MWG FLEXSAFE and EVOLUTION have been evaluated as a combo, so that 27 ATPV rating is proven and reliable, not a rough guess.
FR Comfort You’ll Actually Want to Wear
Think "layering" means sweating through your shirt by 9 a.m.? Think again.
This combo is designed for comfort in the heat:
-
FLEXSAFE pulls moisture off your skin and helps regulate your core temperature.
-
EVOLUTION is lightweight and breathable, offering protection without the weight of a heavy outer layer.
Together, they work like a temperature control system for your body - one that also happens to protect you from catastrophic burn injuries.
Why Tested Combinations Matter
Not all FR is created equal and not all combinations are tested. Stacking two FR garments doesn’t automatically make you safer. In fact, without verified testing, you might end up with gaps in protection.
When your protection is tested and certified, you can focus on the job - not second - guessing your gear.
The Takeaway: Lightweight, Layered, and Life-Saving
Layering in summer isn’t just possible - it’s practical. When done with the right fabrics and tested combinations, you get:
-
Increased protection
-
Improved comfort
-
Peace of mind in the field
With MWG FLEXSAFE and MWG EVOLUTION, you’re not just staying safe - you’re doing it in a way that’s built for the heat.
So this summer, don’t strip down - layer up the smart way.
