Whist CE standards tend to address hazards such as chemicals and flames in isolation in the real world users often need protection against multiple hazards – petrochemical environments often require protection against BOTH chemicals AND flames and heat.
The Pyrolon CRFR Cool Suit features the innovative Cool Suit Type 4 Chemical protective design and the FR properties of Pyrolon Fabrics. Pyrolon CRFR offers an effective barrier against permeation of a range of hazardous chemicals combined with the thermal properties of Pyrolon fabrics; in contact with flames the fabric disintegrates but does not ignite, burn or drip molten debris. Meanwhile the concealed rear panel is constructed of Pyrlon Plus 2 – breathable and with the same FR properties.
The result is a breathable Type 4 chemical suit that does not burn.
The Lakeland Type 4 Cool Suit design uses the protective fabric in the critical areas of the suit – the front, the limbs and the hood. To the less critical rear is a breathable panel of fabric, covered by a protective cover of the main suit fabric and sealed at top and sides. The bottom is left partially open to allow air to circulate in and out of the suit – assisted by the “bellows effect” the tendency of low breathable fabric garments to actively “pump” air in and out of the suit.
Understanding the difference between Type 3 and Type 4 garments is critical in ensuring the best protection whilst minimising cost and maximising comfort; we estimate 80% of applications are Type 4 and not Type 3, so when using a Type 3 garment for a Type 4 application means paying for more protection than you need. Lakeland’s “Guide to Chemical Suit Selection” guides users through identifying the difference.
Key Features:
- Pyrolon CRFR Cool Suit with breathable rear panel

- Intrinsic anti-static properties that do not erode with time – certified to EN 1149-5.
The ChemMax® 3 Cool Suit combines the superior technology of ChemMax® 3 multi-layer barrier fabric with the innovative breathable Cool Suit design which allows a breathable, comfortable chemical protective garment.
The Lakeland Type 4 Cool Suit design uses the protective fabric in the critical areas of the suit – the front, the limbs and the hood. To the less critical rear is a breathable panel of Safegard GP fabric, covered by a protective cover of the main suit fabric and sealed at top and sides. The bottom is left partially open to allow air to circulate in and out of the suit – assisted by the “bellows effect” the tendency of low breathable fabric garments to actively “pump” air in and out of the suit.

Cool Vest® is designed to be worn underneath any chemical suit to keep the wearer cool and comfortable in warm environments.
The Cool Vest® can be worn with any chemical suit in order to enhance the bodies own ability to remove heat by absorbing heat energy directly from the body. The result can be improved moral, increased work rates and higher productivity.
- Uses phase change material pouches to maintain a cooling temperature of 14oC for up to 3 hours*
- Four pouches are inserted into pockets inside the vest; two in the back and two in the front.
- Pouches gradually absorb heat from the body so the wearer stays cool, resulting in improved work rates and productivity.
- Phase-change pouches are easily ‘charged’ by placing in a refrigerator, in cool water or simply in a cool area overnight.
- Cool Vest® fabric is 100% 180gsm cotton with pockets made in 100gsm polyester mesh.
- Available in two sizes : S-L and XL-XXL
- Available as a single vest with one set of cooling phase-change pouches.
- Sets of cooling pouches available separately so that one set can be charged whilst one is used to allow continuous working.
