By the way, to throw another wrench into your consideration:

My next set of outdoor clothes will most likely be these "fireproof" fleece items.

Very nice.

Ok, why fire resistant?

So as to prevent being burnt.

Taking pictures of forest fires lately?

ya know, that'd show those "everything's been done" guys.

Sometimes I do.

Good enough for me!

The Massif website doesn't give you any buying info, where do you pick up their "goods"?

Hmmm... Dunno. I'm sure they can be contacted, and such info can be obtained, and buying issues can be settled.

I could do that.

Fire accidents – houses burning down, flaming car wrecks, and such – are not that uncommon. I can think of several Bussekin forumites it's happened to. For example, Wetdog (Rob).

Now add in the fact that most synthetic fabric clothes are made of petroleum products, and are basically like wearing solid fuel.

Besides, no more little pinprick holes in your outdoor clothes from stray campfire sparks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
