What is the DexFlex™ Knee Design?

The FXM Express Pants feature a DexFlex™ Knee pattern designed to improve mobility in the knee area. The articulated design works with the pant's foam-padded PCA knee reinforcements to support movement during firefighting activities such as kneeling, climbing, crawling, and squatting.

How Does the GORE-TEX® CROSSTECH® Prime Moisture Barrier Work?

The FXM Express Pants utilize a 4.6 oz GORE-TEX® CROSSTECH® Prime moisture barrier positioned between the outer shell and thermal liner.

The moisture barrier is designed to:

• Help prevent water penetration from the exterior
• Allow moisture vapor from perspiration to escape
• Support wearer comfort during demanding firefighting operations

This moisture management system works with the Horizon outer shell and CoreCXP™ thermal liner to provide a balance of protection and breathability.
