Questions about the Women's Ignitor Short
How warm is the Women's Ignitor Short?
It uses 2 mm neoprene, which NRS describes as basic immersion protection for cool temperatures and chilly splash. For cold water or long immersion, step up to a thicker wetsuit or a dry suit.
Is the Women's Ignitor Short good for water rescue work?
It is a basic, affordable warmth layer for training, lifeguard duty and warm-water boat work. It is not a substitute for a dry suit or thicker wetsuit in cold or swiftwater conditions.
What is it made of?
2 mm neoprene made from recycled tires, with a fully recycled nylon interior and exterior, dope-dyed face fabrics, water-based adhesives and flat-lock seams.
Is the Women's Ignitor Short flame resistant?
No. The Women's Ignitor Short is water rescue and paddling gear. It is not flame resistant, is not structural firefighting PPE and is not NFPA 1971 certified, so keep it away from fire and high heat.
How do I choose a size?
The Ignitor has a form fit. Use waist, hip and your numeric size: a size M is a numeric 8–10 with a 31–33 inch waist and a 39–41 inch hip.
