The bfa Nomex «Delta C» Thermal Protection Garments, called TPG, are produced in three different variations; Shortie, Longie and Combie. 

The Shortie is a garment fitted with short sleeves and short legs. Its field of application is mainly where the requirements for insulation and fire protection are not rated as important as comfort and mobility. The Shortie’s insulation is concentrated on the core of the wearer’s body. By that it supports the human body concentrating its thermal regulation system to the core and reducing blood circulation in the arms and legs. Therefore heatloss through the extremities and the body’s core is reduced considerably.

The Longie is fitted with long sleeves and legs. It therefore has even better insulation properties against cold than the Shortie. Also the fire protection properties are higher than with the Shortie.

The Combie answers the needs of the wearer for protection under extreme cold
conditions. The core part of the wearer’s body is protected by two layers of fabric, whereas the arms and lower legs are only covered by one layer. The Combie therefore has the highest insulation characteristics and at the same time offers maximum protection against fire. This construction again supports the effect of the body concentrating its thermal regulation system to the core and reducing blood circulation in the arms and legs. Therefore heatloss through the extremities and the body’s core is reduced to a minimum.
