June 2, 2016 – National Safety Apparel (NSA) has acquired Drifire from Optimer Brands, based in Chicago, Ill. Drifire calls itself “a brand of technologically-advanced performance safety apparel that was born on the battlefield to protect military personnel”.

 Drifire line will be promoted to NSA’s distributor-partners alongside their existing ArcGuard, Vizable 360°, Carbon Armour, HYDROlite FR, and TECGEN Select brands.
