When the sun’s blazing, the last thing you want to do is pile on extra clothing. But if you're working in environments where arc flash or flash fire is a risk, flame-resistant (FR) clothing isn’t just a good idea, it’s non-negotiable.
So how do you stay cool, dry, and protected when it’s 30°C and rising?
Easy. You go lightweight—and you go layered.
Yes, layered.
Say Hello to the Ultimate Summer Combo: FLEXSAFE + COMFORT WEAVE
Let’s spotlight a layering duo that brings the heat (protection-wise) without making you overheat.
-
MWG FLEXSAFE FR Base Layer
-
ATPV: 4.3
-
Moisture-wicking, breathable, and ultra-lightweight. Think of it as your second skin—if your second skin was fire-resistant and incredibly soft.
-
-
MWG COMFORT WEAVE Work Shirt
-
ATPV: 8.6
-
Designed for all-day wear, COMFORT WEAVE offers a breathable, flexible fit with rugged performance.
-
Individually, these two garments offer strong standalone protection. But when tested together, they deliver an impressive ATPV of 32. That’s right: 4.3 + 8.6 = … wait, 32?!
Layering: The FR Superpower You Didn’t Know You Had
Here’s where it gets cool—literally and figuratively.
When FR garments are tested in combination, the protection often skyrockets. Why? Because layers trap air, and that air acts as insulation. It slows heat transfer and reduces burn risk in a way a single thick layer can’t. The result: more protection, less weight, and smarter use of your gear.

Lightweight + Layered = Summer Safety Win
Let’s be honest: no one wants to be sweating buckets just to stay safe. That’s where MWG’s design shines.
-
FLEXSAFE keeps sweat off your body and helps regulate your core temperature.
-
COMFORT WEAVE breathes like a champ while providing that second layer of flame-resistant armor.
Together, they form a high-performance layering system that protects like a heavyweight, but feels like a breeze.
Why Tested Combinations Matter More Than You Think
You might assume throwing on any two FR garments means double the protection. But unless that combo has been tested and certified together, you’re gambling with safety.
Tested combinations like FLEXSAFE + COMFORT WEAVE are certified to give you reliable, enhanced protection, especially in high-risk environments where ATPV matters most.
Layering isn’t just for winter. With the right fabrics and proper airflow, lightweight FR layers can actually keep you cooler by managing moisture and body temperature better than a single bulky shirt.
So this summer, instead of choosing between comfort or protection, choose both.
Choose a tested, trusted combo like MWG FLEXSAFE and COMFORT WEAVE, and step into the heat with confidence.
