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

In this review the Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt is evaluated for workers who need certified flame and arc protection without bulk. The shirt's single biggest selling point is its certified safety performance: it meets NFPA 2112 for flash fire and ASTM F1506 for arc flash with an ATPV of 11 Cal/cm2, making it suitable for HRC 2 workplaces where reliable protection is mandatory. The fabric is 100% mercerized cotton at 7 oz, which aims to balance comfort, durability and minimal shrinkage for those wearing it on job sites.

Key Features

• Flame resistant 100% cotton: Provides inherent FR protection while remaining breathable for long shifts in active environments.
• Certified protection: Complies with NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 and carries UL certification for verified flash fire and arc flash performance.
• ATPV 11 Cal/cm2 (HRC 2): Suitable for medium risk electrical and industrial work where HRC 2 protection is required.
• High-visibility reflective tape: Two ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant FR reflective tape bands improve on-site visibility in low light or traffic areas.
• Work-focused construction: Western front with pearl snaps, action back pleats and two breast pockets including a pen slot keep the shirt functional on the job.
• Mercerized fabric: Treated to reduce shrinkage and improve softness for more comfortable, lasting wear.

Who It's For

The shirt is aimed at electricians, utility crews, oil and gas workers and industrial staff who require NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 compliant garments and HRC 2 protection. Its high-visibility tape and ANSI compliance also make it a fit for road crews and any role where visibility and flame resistance must be combined.

Workers who prefer a looser fit or who expect heavy industrial laundering should consider sizing up, as some users reported it runs smaller compared with other brands and there are occasional shrinkage concerns after repeated washing. Those who need heavyweight insulation or waterproof protection should look at other specialized outerwear.
