BOCOMAL FR Shirts 6oz Long Sleeve Henley for Men - NFPA2112 CAT2

In this review of the BOCOMAL FR Shirts 6oz Long Sleeve Henley the bottom line is simple: it is a lightweight, flame resistant work shirt built for industrial use where mobility and certified protection matter. The reviewer found it best suited for workers who need NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 level protection without a heavy outer layer, and the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of certified flash-fire protection with a breathable 6oz 100% cotton jersey construction that stays wearable in warmer conditions.

Key Features

• Lightweight 6oz cotton: The 100% cotton jersey fabric provides a smooth, breathable fit that is comfortable for long shifts and warmer climates.
• Certified flame resistance: Meets NFPA2112, NFPA70E and ASTM F1506 with UL classification, offering reliable protection for flash fire and arc hazards.
• Durable FR construction: FR-treated fabric and FR aramid threads are used so the protective properties remain effective through repeated wash cycles.
• Prewashed and preshrunk: The shirt is washed and preshrunk to reduce post-wash distortion and to make size selection more predictable.
• Up to 100 washes: The manufacturer rates the garment to retain its FR performance through many washes, extending useful life for routine workwear rotation.
• Practical details: Henley long-sleeve styling with an eyecatch FR tag on the chest pocket and a UL tag on the inseam helps identify certified gear on site.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at industrial tradespeople such as welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and construction crews who require Category II protective apparel that is NFPA2112 compliant. It is particularly useful for teams that need a breathable, lightweight top that still meets recognized safety standards for flash fire and arc flash work.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who need heavyweight outerwear or multi-layer insulation in very cold conditions, and anyone who prefers a very loose overgarment fit without following the recommendation to size up for this model.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Certified protection meeting NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 gives confidence on hazardous job sites.

Cons

• Sizing runs mixed in customer feedback and the maker recommends buying one size up, so fit may be snug for some buyers.
