"I have been wearing AeroFlex since February of 2023 when it was under development. I have worn it in hundreds of live fire evolutions and in various environments (from California to Germany). "The vents in the design of the AeroFlex work remarkably well. I was also pleasantly surprised that this version felt even lighter than my previous TECGEN71 gear. AeroFlex is quite helpful to my training as we do several evolutions throughout the course of a day. As we exit the live burn evolution, the gear cools quite quickly and it seems to keep me cooler (core temperature wise) in my lower body than my previous set of gear. I have been quite pleased with the gear and I work with Fire-Dex by providing feedback to them after our training events on any changes or suggestions that we feel need to be made. Thus far, the production set that has been released has everything that we need and is quite helpful in lessening overall fatigue on my instructor cadre." - Andrew Starnes
