About FXM and FXR Express Lines

Fire-Dex recently announced a game-changing service for fire departments: the new FXR Express and FXM Express lines, offering premium turnout gear shipped in just five to 10 business days. These Express lines provide fire departments with stock options for two of Fire-Dex’s most popular gear lines, ensuring that bunker gear can arrive in under two weeks when needed, giving firefighters fast, reliable access to essential garments.

FXR turnouts are renowned for their superior fit and flexibility. Certified to NFPA 1971, FXR sets a high standard for firefighter protection and is among Fire-Dex’s best-selling turnout options. With FXR Express, firefighters can access the same high-quality, premium gear they expect from FXR turnouts, with a swift delivery timeline that accommodates their busy schedules. Crafted with a TECGEN71 (gold) outer shell, Milliken CoreCXP one-layer thermal liner, and Stedair 4000 moisture barrier, the FXR Express jacket and pant provide the perfect balance of safety and performance.

With Fire-Dex’s FXM turnouts, departments don’t have to choose between elite protection and cost savings. Constructed with an Armor AP (gold) outer shell, Milliken CoreCXP two-layer thermal liner, and GORE RT7100 moisture barrier, customers can order their FXM gear today and be confident it will arrive quickly. FXM bunker gear combines modern design with exceptional functionality, helping firefighters confront any challenge they face.
