Safety ComponentsGLIDE ICE THERMAL LINERS engineered with DuPont™ Nomex® filament are consistently worn by more U.S. metro city departments than any other thermal liner. Glide Ice builds on the “slicker, softer and more comfortable” pedigree found in all Glide thermal liner options produced by Safety Components.

Using DuPont™ Nomex® filament, Glide Ice features superior performance in breathability, freedom of movement, comfort, heat blocking capability, moisture management, and fast dry times. Its patented high lubricity weave is lighter and slicker than competitive liner systems. www.safetycomponents.com. (800) 896-6926.
