FR Shirts for Men Melt Pocket Lightweight Crew T-Shirt - NFPA2112/CAT2

In this review the BOCOMAL FR Shirts for Men Melt Pocket Lightweight Crew T-Shirt is evaluated for industrial workers who need reliable flame resistant everyday wear. The bottom line: this shirt is for welders, electricians, ironworkers and anyone who must meet NFPA2112/CAT2 protection while staying comfortable on long shifts. Its mid-weight 100% cotton jersey FR fabric and pre-washed construction make it an easy first FR shirt to add to a work rotation because it balances protection, fit and durability without feeling like heavy PPE.

Key Features

• FR materials: Made from 100% mid-weight cotton jersey flame retardant fabric that offers a flexible, durable and comfortable fit for daily wear on the job.
• Safety certification: Clearly labeled for NFPA2112 CAT2 protection with an Arc Rating Atpv 8.9 cal/cm2 and compliance to NFPA70E and ASTM F1506, providing certified flash fire resistance.
• Melt pocket: A hidden melt pocket with a single button on the left provides a discrete pen slot or opens into a larger pocket for small tools.
• Construction details: FR double-stitched seams, rib-knit cuffs and collar, and a tagless neck help reduce irritation and improve garment longevity.
• Color stability: Part of the heather series with stable color fastness designed not to fade easily even under sun exposure at worksites.
• Wash durability: Pre-washed to prevent shrinkage and retain FR performance for up to about 100 wash cycles for extended service life.

Who It's For

The BOCOMAL FR crew neck is aimed at tradespeople who need certified flame resistant everyday shirts: welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and construction crews who require NFPA2112/CAT2 protection but prefer a T-shirt silhouette. It is also suitable for safety managers building a standard-issue wardrobe that balances comfort and compliance.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers requiring higher arc ratings or heavier outer layers for extreme exposures, and anyone seeking synthetic blends for moisture-wicking performance, since this model is 100% mid-weight cotton and optimized for FR protection and comfort rather than advanced moisture control.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Certified protection to NFPA2112 CAT2 with an Atpv of 8.9 cal/cm2, giving reliable flash fire defense.
• Comfortable mid-weight cotton jersey fabric that stretches for mobility and wears softly during long shifts.
• Practical melt pocket design and tagless neck reduce irritation and add functional storage without bulk.
• Pre-washed construction resists shrinkage and preserves FR performance through many wash cycles.

Cons
