BOCOMAL FR Shirts Flame Resistant Plaid Work Shirt - NFPA2112 CAT2

Our review of the BOCOMAL FR Shirts finds it is best suited for industrial workers who need lightweight, certified flame resistant workwear that still looks like a casual shirt. The single biggest reason to buy is its certified protection: the shirt meets NFPA2112, ASTM F1506 and NFPA70E requirements and carries an Arc Rating ATPV of 8.2 cal/cm2, giving reliable HRC2 level protection while remaining soft, prewashed and comfortable enough for long shifts. Customers consistently praise the feel, durability and value for money in real work use.

Key Features

• FR Materials: Constructed from 6.5oz printed plaid cotton twill treated for flame resistance to deliver certified protection without heavy bulk.
• Certified Protection: Meets NFPA2112, ASTM F1506 and NFPA70E standards with an Arc Rating ATPV 8.2 cal/cm2 to protect against flash fire and arc hazards.
• Durable Construction: Uses FR buttons and FR sewing threads with a clear FR tag and UL certification details on the garment for traceable safety.
• Comfort and Fit: Prewashed, preshrunk and wrinkle-resistant fabric provides a soft, comfortable fit suitable for extended wear on site.
• Long Service Life: Rated to retain flame-resistant performance through up to 100 washes, supporting repeated use in rugged conditions.

Who It's For

The BOCOMAL FR Shirt is aimed at welders, electricians, ironworkers, fitters and other industrial trades that require NFPA2112 and CAT II level protection while keeping a lightweight, shirt-like feel. It is also appropriate for supervisors and technicians who prefer a casual plaid look but cannot compromise on FR performance.

This shirt is not for those who need higher ATPV protection than 8.2 cal/cm2 or specialized outerwear layers for extreme exposure; workers needing greater arc ratings or heavy insulated garments should look at purpose-built outer shells with higher ATPV values.
