Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt - 100% Cotton, HRC 2 7

In this review the Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt is judged as a practical, safety-focused work shirt for professionals who need certified protection without heavy bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is its compliance with NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 for flash fire and arc flash hazards, offering an ATPV of 11 Cal/cm2 and an HRC 2 rating while remaining relatively lightweight at 7 oz. For crews that require ANSI/ISEA 107 reflective tape plus cotton comfort, this shirt balances protection, visibility and daily wearability.

Key Features

• 100% Cotton FR Fabric: Mercerized cotton provides breathable, lightweight protection while reducing typical shrinkage compared with untreated cotton.
• Certified Protection: Meets NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 standards with a UL certification stamp for verified flash fire and arc flash resistance.
• ATPV 11 Cal/cm2: Rated HRC 2 to protect workers against moderate arc flash energy in industrial settings.
• High Visibility Tape: Two FR reflective tape bands are ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant to improve visibility in low light and roadside work.
• Work-ready Design: Long sleeves with cuffs, action back pleats and two snap-closure breast pockets with a pen slot deliver practical utility on the job.

Who It's For

The shirt is best for electricians, utility crews, oil and gas personnel, and industrial workers who require NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 compliance plus high visibility. It suits those who prefer a lighter 7 oz cotton garment over heavier blends, and who value certified ATPV protection while working in environments with flash fire or arc flash risk.

Workers who need a very trim fit or who plan frequent industrial laundering should consider sizing up or looking at washable industrial-rated garments; some users report it runs smaller than other brands and that improper washing can increase shrinkage. If snap closures are a concern, check snaps on delivery or consider garments with reinforced closures.
