The head is covered with a helmet to protect the firefighter's head. The eyes are goggles, transparent and mainly protect against heat radiation. Features:The foil insulation suit is mainly used for thermal radiation, similar to the summer insulation of a car. It can withstand high temperature insulation and its heat radiation protection is about 1000°C. This suit is light enough not to burden firefighters who use water guns to fight fires.

III. Dark green: fire avoidance clothing

The colour of the fire avoidance suit is dark green. Use: Protective clothing for firefighters or high-temperature operators to wear when crossing a fire for a short period of time.
