is this flame and melt resistant like regular wool? I'm looking for non-polyester clothing to wear under my flightsuit.

Flight nurse here. These are 100% Merino Wool. Its an organic fiber so it won't melt to you under your Nomex. Fly safe.

Sorry David I have no experience in this to really answer your question... I've using them from time to time the last months but I would like to say that yes, because they are wool...

It's a "fleece" - or what is often called "sherpa lining" in some garments. Made of acrylic, not real animal wool. It vaccums up nicely, but will definitely be discolored after some time. We lay a small thin airline blanket over top to save on having to wash the cover as often.

the one i got was flame resistant. i used the lighter too to shrink it. it works perfect.

I am not 100% sure but the material is polyester and I have read that that fabric can be fire resistant. I like the feel of it. It's pretty thick too. I hope that helped but I don't know much about that topic.

Hi Mary,Thank you for your question. The material is a 300 Oxford Weave which makes it extremely durable and waterproof but it is not porous like a mesh product. The vest itself is extremely lightweight and does not trap heat. Most dogs don't even know it is on. While it is not breathable in the sense of being a mesh product its lightweight material makes it easy to wear. SafetyPUP XD

The product isn't actual fabric. It's fabric fibers. I used it on the same type of burn in the same spot and had excellent results. If you take your time matching up the different colored fibers and follow the directions it works perfectly!

It appears that they are not. Here is a link to a blog where someone wrote and asked them: ladyplusbaby.com/?tag=halo-response-about-fire-retardant ...it's on the ladyplusbaby website and is a post tagged "halo-response-about-fire-retardant"...in case the weblink is blocked. On that page is posted these emails from Halo: Randall, Polyester is a natural flame retardant fabric; therefore all our fleece and comfort mesh items pass the standards with out flame retardant chemicals. Our cotton sleepsacks are made without the chemicals but can only pass the standards in the smaller sizes. This is the reason they are only made in these sizes. The flame resistance standards for children's sleepwear gets stricter as the sizes get larger. This is due to the mobility of the child increasing with size. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Christy Halo Innovations Customer Service ---------------------------------------------- Hello Randall, We do not use any flame resistance chemicals on any of our items. They pass the minimum standards for flame resistance without the use of chemicals. The standards are different based upon the size and mobility of the child therefore, the standards for larger or older children are more strict than for infants. This is why some of our products are only available in certain sizes. There are different CPSC levels of FR standards. The SleepSack wearable blanket falls into category 1610 which is for bedding categories. IF we were in a pajama category which is 1615 then the cotton SleepSacks would not pass without treatment. If you would like to learn more about this please visit the CPSC web site. http://www.cpsc.gov/ Regards, Karen Customer Service Halo Innovations Also on the Halosleep FAQ page, they say they are not chemically treated also. Hope that helps.

At some point I guess you just have to trust the description and labels, like you do with any other product you buy. Unless you go around running independent lab tests on everything. I can tell you that this product smells like wool and thermally reacts like wool. I would have no reason to suspect it is a poly product based on my experience.

According to the booklet no lower than wool. I have only cotton clothing, but put it up to linen. Was hoping to stop spitting.

Hi Ellen, I would not advise wearing socks that are made of wool for hiking during the summer heat. these socks are 67% wool.

The bottom of the package says: "this product conforms to the Standard for Flammability of Clothing Textiles under the flammable fabrics act. Hope this helps

its heat resistant, nothing is really fireproof. It is a Muslin Dyed Cloth as long as you dont have a hot lights inches away from it it shouldn't be an issue. I used 800 watt lights to light it from about a foot and a half away for over 2 hours

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

No chemicals or flame retardants according to the label. Just Alpaca wool. Very light weight. Possibly too large for an infant. Might get tangled up in a crib. I love mine. Just right for this prolonged cold or hot spring.

The label states that it is 100% polyester, flame resistant fabric. I have had it for over a year and it is holding up very well with daily use.

I have no clue.... my use of the product was limited to fabrics. My suggestion would be to contact a Fire Marshall in your area, or to do a small test yourself. A company that produces stage settings for theatrical productions might also be able to answer this. Good luck!

No, this one is bullet proof really well made. And it is entirely washable although i do always line dry,But no, no escaping wool whatsoever.
