Default Re: nomex or proban?

Proban is a chemical process to make different fabric (usually cotton) flame retardant. In general it is stiffer, heavier and cheaper. Nomex is a flame retardant fabric (needs no treatment). It comes in different weaves with "functions", some breathe some stretch some is shiny etc etc. In general a Nomex fabric gives better comfort.
