Default G Force 545

Anybody ever have thiis happn? I purchased G Force 545 Suit seveal years ago. It has an SFI tag that attached. Sewn inside the suit is another tag that reads 100% cotton.

I contacted G-Force at the time of purchase and they assured me that in manufacturing , the 100% cotton tag was attached due to customs or something like that.

Since the news in the last several years contains stories of defective/recalled ptoducts from China, I am beginning to wonder what the suit is made from.

Here is a reply that I received a few years ago ref a G Force 505
It's officially a 3 layer suit but.... the outer layer is FR cotton naturally, the inner layer is mixture of nomex fabrics woven into a thick layer with a thin layer of material next to the skin. So, officially it is a 3 layer suit. With that being said, the GF505 suits made in the past year or so, has a thinner layer of nomex material making the suit a little lighter than previous models that had a reputation for being a bit heavy and bulky. It is still a nice suit as far as protection goes. It has one of the higher TPP ratings in the industry which is around 26-28.
