XGO is adding a new line of Flame Retardant Mesh to their 2013 collection. Featuring increased breathability and increased stretch as a result of the mesh construction, the line will initially consist of a short and long sleeve top, boxer brief, and neck pipe.

“The evolution of the FR mesh is a direct result of having so our warfighters tell us that, in their FR base layer, they needed something that would breathe and provide some air permeability under their other protective pieces,” says Sherry Lyons, Director of Global Sales for XGO. She goes on to explain, “while it meets the U.S. Military / Natick standards for FR, it also wicks and allows the flow of air for increased comfort.”

The FR Mesh line will be available April 2013 through select retailers and online at proxgo.com.

XGO has introduced a new line called Power Skins which comprises their performance garments. For example, they’ve introduced a new PT Short and Shirt.

Even though the T-shirt looks and feels like cotton it’s 94% polyester with 6% Lycra and incorporates anti microbial properties. The PT shorts incorporate a hung mesh liner and drawstring waist as well as slash pockets and an internal coin pocket.

They haven’t forgotten FR. In fact, they’ve developed a new FR fabric. They’ve changed the way that they knit the fabric but not the FR content in a pointelle knit which incorporates tiny holes that offer increased comfort and ensure air permeability compliance.

XGO has developed the modern equivalent the classic headover. The new Neck Pipe is a Multi-use, moisture wicking, anti-microbial performance accessory piece. It can be used in a variety of ways and will replace several items in the Soldier’s kit bag such as the watch cap, scarf, balaclava, and neck gaiter.

XGO unveiled their latest product at this week’s SOFEX at Ft Bragg. The Pipe is a like a neck gaiter on steroids. Made from a 7.5 ounce, four-way stretch fabric (92% Acclimate Dry Polyester and 8% Spandex) integrating Ag 47 Silver Microbial Protection, it can be worn a variety of ways.

It is important to note that while many XGO products are FR, the Pipe is not. It is however, comfortable and warm. Made in USA!

Lots of troops love XGO’s Phase 4 thermal pant but didn’t like the bulkiness when they tried to tuck the legs into their boots. So XGO came up with an innovative solution. Now, on the Phase 4 pant, just below the knee, they have integrated a more lightweight fabric from the Phase 3 pant. The insulation isn’t missed due to the boots but the comfort is there.

Additionally, XGO has introduced a sleeveless compression shirt after calls for a lightweight garment that won’t bind in the shoulder area. Think of it as your grandaddy’s wife beater but for the 21st century.

Finally, XGO now has a moisture wicking ball cap. As with all XGO garments, these are Made in USA.

XGO Shemagh

XGO Shemagh

Manufactured from lightweight Acclimate® FR 100% Flame Resistant no melt cotton, the new XGO is the first FR Shemagh ever. The material passed the American Society for Testing and Materials vertical flame resistance test (ASTM 6413-99). What is just as fantastic is that the Shemagh is treated with Ag47 Silver Antimicrobial treatment to fight odor that builds up from using the Shemagh day after day in a hot dusty environment. It exceeds the standard for antimicrobial resistance in accordance with American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists test for determination of antimicrobial effect (AATCC 100).

This isn’t some cheapo shemagh you buy down the souk, these are 100% American made. They have barely hit the market and have already been adopted as part of the BAMS kit.

Currently available in Tan and Coyote versions, XGO is capable of doing custom runs of colors and patterns. For more info, contact XGO on the web.
