BOCOMAL FR Crewneck 7oz Midweight Flame Resistant Work Shirt - CAT2

In this review the BOCOMAL FR Shirts Crewneck is judged as a practical work shirt for industrial trades where flash fire and arc exposure are a concern. The bottom line: it is a midweight, comfortable flame resistant shirt that meets NFPA2112 and CAT II standards and is best for workers who need certified protection without heavy layers. The reviewer found the fabric soft, preshrunk, and durable through many washes, and recommends it mainly because of its certified protection and everyday comfort.

Key Features

• FR materials: Made from 7oz cotton knit treated for flame resistance, offering a balance of protection and breathability for active workdays.
• Certification: Meets NFPA2112, ASTM F1506 and NFPA70E standards with an ATPV of 11.6 cal/cm2, so it supports HRC2 work environments.
• Durability: The garment is rated to retain protection up to 100 washes, which helps lower replacement frequency for regular use.
• Construction: FR buttons, FR sewing threads and a clear FR tag on the arm and front add confidence that the garment is built end to end to FR specifications.
• Fit and finish: Prewashed and preshrunk with wrinkle resistance, it delivers a soft, fashionable fit described as big and tall so buyers should not size up.
• Practical sample: A small FR fabric sample is included in the package so users can quickly verify texture and treatment before wearing.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at welders, electricians, fitters, ironworkers and other industrial workers who need certified flame and arc protection without bulky outerwear. The midweight 7oz fabric and soft knit make it comfortable for full shifts and layering under a jacket when needed.

Those who rely on precise fit or have tall proportions should check sizing carefully because the shirt runs big and long for some buyers; anyone seeking ultralight summer-only shirts or a CF-rated outer shell should look elsewhere.
