Sponsored by Bulwark

 

We receive a lot of questions around FR/AR clothing and what to do in the case of extreme conditions, specifically – the heat of the summer and those inevitable accompanying insects.

What you will learn:

  • Define heat stress
  • Discuss some of the best practices to avoid heat stress
  • Explain how your FR/AR clothing impact heat stress
  • Assess how to protect against disease carrying insects when DEET is not an option
