Protective Clothing and Equipment

The Canadian textile industry is recognized world-over for the performance and quality of its protection products. In addition to being used in a wide range of protective garments, Canadian textiles are involved in the manufacturing of accessories and other protection applications designed to protect individuals and goods from the elements, dangerous products and accidents.

There are a multitude of textile fibres, yarns and fabrics available on the market today, meeting a single specific requirement or whole range of them. New products are continuously being developed, their creators taking full advantage of the latest technological innovations, such as nanotechnology, and shape memory materials.
