BOCOMAL FR Shirts Lightweight Classic Crew Long Sleeve CAT2 - Summer

Our review of the BOCOMAL FR Shirts Lightweight Classic Crew Long Sleeve finds it best for industrial workers who need straightforward, certifiable flame resistance with summer wearability. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of true flame resistant treatment and a lightweight 5.5oz knit that keeps the shirt comfortable in warm environments while meeting HRC2/CAT2 performance standards. The shirt is clearly aimed at professionals who need NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 compliance without excess bulk, and the included fabric sample makes it easy to verify FR properties before routine use.

Key Features

• Lightweight FR material: The 5.5oz flame resistant treated cotton knit offers protection without heavy insulation, making it easier to layer or wear in warm conditions.
• Certified protection: Meets HRC2/CAT2 with an Arc Rating Atpv of 8.0 cal/cm2 and compliance with NFPA2112 and ASTM F1506 standards for workplace safety.
• Durable construction: Stitched with FR aramid threads and finished to remain flame resistant through repeated use and washing up to 100 cycles.
• Practical features: An eyecatch FR tag on the pocket and a small sample of the fabric included in the package let users confirm FR treatment and display compliance on the jobsite.
• Easy care fit: Prewashed and preshrunk construction helps reduce post-wash distortion and the fabric is described as wrinkle-free for a neat appearance.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and other industrial trades that require certified flame resistant apparel with a lightweight feel. It also suits contractors and maintenance staff who want a shirt that balances protection with summer comfort.

Shoppers seeking high-fashion workwear or a tailored streetwear fit should look elsewhere; users who need heavy thermal insulation for cold environments will also want a heavier FR garment than this breathable 5.5oz option.
