Face Paint to be Flame Resistant

[pardus]

Can't nomex balaclavas do this?

Do you want to wear a nomex balaclava in the desert or jungle while on a foot patrol for 1 or 2 weeks? Fuck that!

In a vehicle yes that's practical, but not dismounted, and dismounted is the only time you'd need face cam.

But that said, and correct me if I'm wrong, when will you get caught up in a gigantic fire in the bush? It seems like a vehicle problem mostly. Solution without a problem it seems.

Yes, thats was the exact point I was making in my first post, where you need cam you dont need FR, and vice versa.

 

[SpitfireV]

Right, gotcha.

Seems appropriate in light of Free's post.

Does this look like the 1980's to you? Those went out of style years ago.




(and.....end sarcasm)

They should make it spray on to get with the times.

Sptifire has it right. This is a solution without a problem. What is going to happen is that the new super duper FireX face paint is going to be a new form of PPE required for going out on all patrols to prevent facial burns in event of vehicle fire. It wont come in any colors other than sand, so we'll all end up looking like Mexicans on patrol.
