Abstract
A face cloth for a thermal barrier of a firefighter's garment made from a fabric woven from fire resistant yarns. The yarns are woven into a twill pattern with, preferably, filament yarns in the filling direction and spun yarns in the warp direction and a finish is applied to the fabric. The finish is accepted by the fabric and renders the face cloth both wickable and hook-and-loop compatible. The face cloth has a smooth and slick surface and is wickable and hook-and-loop fastener compatible.
