Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt - 100% Cotton, 7 oz

In this review the Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt is evaluated for workers who need certified protection without sacrificing comfort. The shirt's single biggest strength is its compliance with major safety standards: NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 with an ATPV of 11 Cal/cm2, making it suitable for HRC 2 environments. The review focuses on construction, fit, and real-world durability so buyers can decide if this 100% cotton, mercerized FR shirt meets their daily work requirements.

Key Features

• Flame resistant 100% cotton: Provides certified flash fire and arc flash protection while staying breathable and comfortable for long shifts.
• ASTM and NFPA compliance: Meets ASTM F1506 and NFPA 2112 standards and carries UL certification for verified safety performance.
• 11 Cal/cm2 ATPV (HRC 2): Rated for HRC 2 exposures so it is appropriate where moderate arc flash protection is required.
• High-visibility reflective tape: Two bands of ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant FR reflective tape increase visibility in low-light work zones.
• Durable construction details: Mercerized fabric and action back pleats improve shrink control and range of motion on the jobsite.
• Practical design: Western front with pearl snaps, two breast pockets with flaps and a pen slot add functional storage and quick access.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at electricians, utility workers, oil and gas personnel, and industrial technicians who require certified flame and arc protection combined with high-visibility features. It works best for those who wear FR clothing as outerwear and need a shirt that meets NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506.

Those who prefer synthetic blends for easier industrial laundering or who need a looser fit for layering should consider sizing up or choosing alternate FR garments; a few users reported shrinkage and tighter fit after washing, so people wanting a roomier work shirt may want to order one size larger.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable 100% mercerized cotton that balances breathability with reduced shrinkage compared with untreated cotton.
• ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant reflective tape improves visibility and jobsite safety.
• Functional pocket layout and action back pleats for everyday use and mobility.
