With the recent spike in humidity and persistent muggy weather, SUPER ARMOR® is calling attention to the importance of proper care and maintenance for firefighting suits. As temperatures climb and moisture lingers, even small oversights in cleaning or storage can compromise the protective performance of turnout gear.Moisture trapped in firefighting suits not only leads to mold and foul odors, but may also degrade the flame-retardant and protective properties of the materials—posing hidden risks to frontline responders.To help firefighters safeguard their gear during the humid season, SUPER ARMOR offers the following essential care tips: • After washing, hang the suit fully open to dry. Avoid folding or storing while damp. • Do not expose gear to direct sunlight. Dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. • Store suits in dry, breathable spaces. Avoid sealed or overheated storage. • Inspect gear regularly. Clean immediately if mold or mildew is spotted. • Use high-powered fans to accelerate drying. Avoid high heat settings in dryers. • Do not delay cleaning simply because gear is difficult to dry. • Never sun-dry gear under intense exposure, which may damage protective layers.Your turnout gear is your second skin.
