FLAME RESISTANT Henley Shirt for Men - 5.5oz Cotton CAT2

In this review of the Flame Resistant Henley Shirt for Men the bottom line is straightforward: this is a work shirt built for industrial use where arc and flash fire protection matter most. The reviewer found it useful for welders, electricians and construction crews because it pairs a lightweight, preshrunk 5.5oz cotton knit with certified protection up to HRC2/ATPV 8 cal/cm2, and a clear FR tag and UL certification details on the neck tag. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of true-to-size comfort and certified flame resistance that remains effective for many washes.

Key Features

• FR Materials: Treated 5.5oz cotton knit with FR buttons and FR sewing thread gives certified protection while keeping the shirt breathable.
• Certification: Meets NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 requirements for CAT II protection, providing confidence on job sites with electrical or flash fire risk.
• Durability: Rated to retain flame resistance through up to 50 washes, so it can be laundered frequently without losing protective performance.
• Fit and comfort: Prewashed and preshrunk with a soft hand and a big & tall friendly cut that reviewers say fits true to size and is comfortable for long shifts.
• Practical sample: A small fabric FR sample is included inside the package so users can test fabric feel and treatment before full use.

Who It's For

This shirt is best for industrial workers who need certified flame resistance without heavy layers: welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and technicians working in environments that require HRC2/CAT II protection. It is also suited to crews who prefer a lighter-weight knit that breathes better during physical labor and for those who value a prewashed, wrinkle-resistant shirt.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who require higher ATPV ratings than 8 cal/cm2 or multi-layer FR systems for extreme exposures, and people who need fitted or fashion-oriented shirts rather than a roomy work cut.
