What's the difference? I don't think a wild campfire cares.

Look at their official site. Yeah yeah I know no one buys from the suggested retail on the official site, but damn, look at how expensive it is

Fire-Resistant/Flame-Retardant is solely used to make sure the material doesn't melt to your skin if it catches fire.

At high levels of FR it can stop it (like firefighter suits), but for military its just so it doesn't cause major burning to the wearer.

I also recommend Crye, Patagonia, etc. over these. The stitching and velcro quality sucks.

Multicam bro

Flame resistant means they don't melt and they don't continue burning once the flame is removed. Reduces injury from flash fires and the like. Continued protection from thin material like that to any more than brief exposure would be negligible.

I have the Marine version. No they aren't fire proof. Apparently issued because regular cammies are made with plastics and guys hit by IEDs and shit their uniforms actually melted into guys wounds making it worse.

This is a very good point. Most garments advertised as "flame retardant" or "flame proof" will be regular fabric or even polyester with a coating of flame protectant spray.

This might give some protection against flash fires, which is what most industrial certifications look for. This means that the clothing will not start burning when exposed to a flame for a brief period. However, if exposed to high temperatures or simply higher temperatures for a longer period, the fabric either starts burning or melts/drips and more often than not, both. You then have burning, molten plastic inside your 3rd degree burn wound, which is no bueno.

Ive seen this as part of a study in soldiers not using issued equipment/clothing, instead opting to buy cheap "tactical" clothing. It's just about as pretty as it sounds.
