Flame Resistant Henley Shirt 5.5oz 100% Cotton Light Weight - Cool FR

In this review of the Flame Resistant Henley Shirt 5.5oz, the bottom line is simple: this shirt is for workers who need certified flame protection without the heaviness of traditional FR layers. The reviewer found the fabric unusually light and breathable for an HRC2 garment, making it suitable for hot-weather work while still meeting NFPA2112 and an Arc Rating ATPV of 8.0 cal/cm2. If you spend long hours on job sites where flash fire risk exists but comfort in heat matters, this shirt promises protection with less heat stress than heavier FR shirts.

Key Features

• Lightweight 5.5oz cotton: The low fabric weight reduces heat retention and improves breathability for extended wear in warm conditions.
• 100% cotton knit: Natural fiber construction feels soft against the skin and helps wick and release heat better than some synthetic FR blends.
• Meets NFPA2112: The garment complies with the NFPA2112 Standard for protection against flash fire, offering trusted safety certification.
• ATPV 8.0 cal/cm2, HRC2: Rated for Arc Rating Atpv 8.0 cal/cm2, this shirt is appropriate where HRC2 protection is required.
• Henley and crew styles available: Multiple neck styles let users choose the fit and coverage they prefer while keeping the same protective properties.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at industrial personnel, welders, electricians, and maintenance workers who need certified flame resistant clothing but work in warmer environments or perform physically active tasks. It suits employers outfitting crews with standardized HRC2 protection where comfort and reduced heat load are priorities.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who require higher arc ratings or heavier insulation for extremely cold or high-energy arc environments, and anyone who needs specific moisture-wicking synthetics or stretch fabrics not offered by this 100% cotton option.
