Nomex Omega fibre reacts to high levels of radiant heat or to the contact with a flame... In the case of multi-layer protective clothing(an external layer as screen, a breathable waterproof barrier and an insulating layer inside), the extension of the Nomex Omega screen layer due to the heat forms a balloon which imprisons an air layer in-between the screen layer and the breathable membrane.
