GORE® FR Apparel’s Foul Weather Outerwear for Oil & Gas

October 11, 2016

Dedicated to continually raising the bar on worker safety, comfort, and convenience, Tyndale is proud to partner with GORE® FR Apparel to bring the new TARGO FR foul weather outerwear with GORE-TEX® PYRAD® fabric to the oil and gas market.

This dynamic, cutting-edge outerwear is uniquely equipped to support oil and gas workers during physically-demanding work in wind, rain, and snow. In addition to ASTM F2733 flash fire protection, the Gore® FR Apparel TARGO FR foul weather outerwear offers important benefits:

Lightweight and low-bulk to support comfort and range of motion
Hot liquid, steam, petroleum, and oil-based mud resistant
Highly breathable, with excellent sweat management
Resistant to abrasion, snagging, and cracking
Rated ASTM F1891 for dual hazard protection
ANSI 107-2015 Type O, Class 1 compliant for visibility
Machine wash and dry

Tyndale and Gore® FR Apparel have received an exceptionally positive response to the new TARGO FR foul weather outerwear through a series of end user wear trials. “I would recommend it to anyone,” said one participant, after trialing the suit in varying temperatures, weather conditions, and tasks over the course of a two-week trial.

In fact, participants consistently rated the suit more effective, less bulky, and more comfortable than their current rainwear—particularly in sustained exposures to inclement weather. Praise was exceptionally positive in the following areas:

Weather Resistance: “Rain all day long. Pants and coat still very dependable.”
Durability: “I believe it would take the abuse in all aspects of our job.”
Simple Care: “Washing the GORE® outfit was easy, dries really fast.”

This next-generation line of foul weather outerwear includes a jacket (R30GY), bib (R31HY), and detachable hood (R345Y).

Plus, as with FR daily wear, Tyndale’s flexible programs make it easy to manage and track rainwear purchases:

Include the GORE® FR Apparel TARGO suit alongside FR daily wear in your company’s catalog, and appropriately increase employee allowances, OR
Add a separate allowance or allotment just for FR rainwear; employees simply select between the FR rainwear and FR daily wear programs in their online accounts.
