Flame Resistant FR High Visibility Hi Vis Coverall - Safe HRC 2

In this review of the Flame Resistant FR High Visibility Hi Vis Coverall the bottom line is simple: it is a purpose-built protective garment for workers who need certified flame and arc protection without sacrificing visibility or comfort. The coverall's biggest reason to buy is its compliance pedigree - NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 with an ATPV of 12 cal/cm2 (HRC 2) - which means it is designed for environments with arc flash and flash fire hazards. Reviewers will appreciate the practical construction choices such as a heavy duty 2-way YKK brass FR zipper and multiple pockets that keep tools and devices at hand while meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 visibility requirements.

Key Features

• Flame resistant fabric: The 88% cotton / 12% nylon twill construction gives a balance of comfort and inherent flame resistance rated to NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506.
• ATPV HRC 2 protection: The garment carries an ATPV of 12 cal/cm2 suitable for HRC 2 work environments, offering certified arc flash protection for qualifying tasks.
• High visibility tape: Two bands of FR reflective tape meet ANSI / ISEA 107 standards so the wearer stays visible in low light or busy job sites.
• Durable hardware and design: A heavy duty 2-way YKK brass FR zipper and action back pleats improve durability and range of motion for long shifts.
• Practical storage: Multiple pockets including two breast pockets with snap flaps, quarter cut swing front pockets, hip pockets and a right thigh utility pocket keep tools accessible.
• Mercerized fabric: The mercerization reduces shrinkage and keeps the fabric comfortable after routine washing when care instructions are followed.

Who It's For

The coverall is best suited for electricians, industrial maintenance crews, oil and gas technicians, and other trades where NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 compliance is required. It is also appropriate for safety managers specifying HRC 2 protective clothing for crews who must remain visible around moving equipment or in low light.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers needing higher ATPV ratings than 12 cal/cm2, lightweight summer wearers seeking very thin fabrics, or buyers who require garments with reinforced seam treatments beyond standard sewing when they have experienced seam failures in other FR garments.
