GLIDE ICE
FLEXIBILITY. FAST DRYING. COMFORT.
Glide Ice™ feels cool with its ice blue design woven in Safety Components’ patented weave that combines 60% Meta-Aramid filament yarns with 40% Meta-Aramid /Lenzing FR® spun yarns. It’s no wonder why more US metro fire departments choose Glide Ice thermal liners.

FLEXIBLE.
ENHANCED MOBILITY.
Maximum mobility is needed for a stress-free working environment, be it fighting fires or performing vehicle extrication. One way to increase mobility is to increase flexibility. Glide Ice was the first thermal liner facecloth constructed with Meta-Aramid filament. It is the filament that gives Glide Ice the greatest amount of lubricity for less friction when donning, doffing, and working in turnout gear.
DRIER. OPTIMUM MOISTURE MANAGEMENT.
Some facecloths absorb moisture quickly and then, like a sponge, hold that moisture and take longer to dry. Don’t mistake “quick moisture absorption” for “optimum moisture management”. Glide Ice facecloths are designed to exhibit the best balance of moisture management by wicking moisture away from the skin and drying quickly as test results from NC State reveal: Glide Ice absorbs less as seen in chart 1 (less water weight=lighter gear); Glide Ice dries significantly faster
as seen in chart 2 (dries quicker=ready for next call sooner).
