The U.S. Department of Defense concluded that SARATOGA® fabrics provide “unparalleled protection against chemical and biological agents.” All U.S. troops deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom wore SARATOGA® chemical and biological protective suits twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, throughout major combat operations in Iraq.

The advantages of SARATOGA® include its high adsorptive capacity, long wear time, high degree of air permeability for cooling, optimal balance of high protection and low heat stress, high level of mechanical stability, and low life cycle costs.
