Fire resistant

Fire-resistant base layers

MOIRA develops functional base layers for professionals who operate in environments where heat, sparks or flame exposure may occur.

This category is built around Merino 165 — a technical first layer made from 100% premium Merino wool. Unlike many synthetic fibres, Merino wool does not melt when exposed to high temperatures. That makes it a suitable base layer for use under intervention suits, protective clothing and operational uniforms.

The role of this layer is not only comfort. It helps maintain thermal stability, supports moisture management and remains comfortable during long periods under protective gear. This is critical when the body moves between high physical output, waiting periods and sudden exposure to heat stress.

Merino wool naturally supports body temperature regulation and long-term wearer comfort. The knit construction is designed to preserve mobility under equipment while providing increased resistance to heat and flame.

You will appreciate this layer in professions and situations where contact with heat, sparks or flame cannot be ruled out — including firefighters, rescue units, military and police intervention teams, industrial workers, welders and other technical professions working close to heat sources.

For high-risk environments, the first layer is not a detail. It is part of the protective clothing system.
