FR Cotton Henley Shirt for Men - 5.5oz Flame Resistant CAT2

Our review of the BOCOMAL FR Cotton Henley Shirt finds it best suited for industrial workers who need lightweight, certified flame resistance without heavy layers. The biggest reason to buy is the garment's certified protection combined with a comfortable, prewashed cotton knit that wears like a normal work shirt while meeting HRC2 and NFPA standards. Built-in FR buttons, FR thread and a clear FR tag make compliance checks simple, and a small FR sample included in the package lets buyers confirm the treatment themselves.

Key Features

• FR materials: The 5.5oz 100% cotton knit is treated for flame resistance, giving reliable protection while remaining breathable for hot jobsite conditions.
• Certified protection: The shirt meets HRC2, NFPA2112, NFPA70E and ASTM F1506 requirements, offering an Arc Rating Atpv of 8 cal/cm2 for many electrical and flash fire tasks.
• Durable construction: FR buttons and FR sewing thread reduce the risk of noncompliant components failing, helping the shirt maintain protective integrity over time.
• Prewashed comfort: The garment is preshrunk and wrinkle-resistant, so it fits as expected out of the package and feels soft against the skin.
• Wash longevity: The flame-resistant treatment is designed to remain effective through up to 50 washes, extending the shirt's useful life for regular use.
• Compliance convenience: Clear FR tags and added neck-tag certification details make it easier to verify standards during inspections.

Who It's For

The BOCOMAL 5.5oz Henley is aimed at welders, electricians, ironworkers and other industrial trades who need certified flame-resistant apparel that does not feel bulky. Its lightweight cotton knit is a good match for workers who want a breathable shirt for layered use or to wear alone in warm conditions.

Workers who need heavy arc flash protection above an Atpv of 8 cal/cm2 or who require a synthetic blend for specific durability reasons should look at heavier FR options. Also, those who prefer a slim athletic cut may find this shirt better suited to a classic or roomy fit, since the sizing runs big and tall.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Built with FR buttons and FR thread and includes clear tags to simplify compliance checks.
• Designed to retain flame resistance for up to 50 washes, improving long-term value.
