Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt - 100% Cotton - HRC 2

In this review the Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt is assessed for tradespeople who need both certified flame protection and ANSI-compliant visibility. The bottom line: it is a practical, well-constructed work shirt that delivers industry-grade protection with an ATPV of 11 Cal/cm2 and NFPA 2112 compliance, making it a smart choice for workers exposed to arc flash and flash fire hazards who value comfort and durability.

Key Features

• 100% Cotton FR Fabric: The mercerized 7 oz cotton fabric offers flame resistance while minimizing shrinkage and improving comfort during long shifts.
• Certified Protection: The shirt meets ASTM F1506, NFPA 2112 (ASTM F1930) and carries UL certification, providing verified arc flash and flash fire protection.
• ATPV 11 Cal/cm2 HRC 2: With an ATPV of 11 Cal/cm2 this garment is rated HRC 2, suitable for many industrial electrical and heat exposure tasks.
• High Visibility Tape: Two rows of ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant FR reflective tape improve visibility in low light while retaining flame resistant performance.
• Work-ready Design: Full sleeves with cuffs, action back pleats, western front with pearl snaps, and two snap-closure breast pockets with a pen slot keep tools and movement in mind.

Who It's For

The shirt is aimed at electricians, utility crews, oil and gas workers, and maintenance staff who require NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 certified protection while remaining visible on site. Its HRC 2 rating and 11 Cal/cm2 ATPV make it appropriate for tasks with moderate arc exposure.

Those who want a very slim or fashion-fit shirt, or who need multi-layer thermal insulation, should look elsewhere. Also, buyers planning frequent industrial laundering or who prefer snap-free closures may want to consider sizing up and checking fastener durability before heavy use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid compliance with NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 gives reliable flame and arc protection for hazardous environments.

• Practical pocket layout and reflective tape add on-the-job utility and safety without extra bulk.
• Manufactured to US standard sizing with action back pleats for freer movement on the job.

Cons

• Some users report shrinkage after washing, so careful laundering and considering one size up is recommended.
• Several customers noted the snap buttons can be prone to coming apart, which may affect long-term fastener reliability.
