For anyone not familar with the material CarbonX, it is far superior to Nomex in fire protection. Check out this demo video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F45DzLUNSpc

Carbon X's selling point is that it doesn't burn; however, there is more to that in terms of fire protection. I would say the insulation factor of Nomex would make it preferable in a fire environment. Unfortunately its this same insulation that makes to so bloody hot and uncomfortable. If a Nomex were to burn threw as shown in the video then of course this would cause issues at that point.

Even though I am rather impressed by this video:

I was looking at this stuff for a while and am still mixed. Goodluck with the sale. I just wanted to spark discussion.

That's why it's ideal to have multiple layers of different materials. You get the best of both worlds. For anybody who's already got a single or double layer nomex suit, this carbonx underwear would be perfect.

I'm selling these, cause I've got myself a shiny new 3 layer suit, one of those layers is already carbonx.

Maybe we can work something out when I get back to Ontario. You can never have too much fire protection.
