Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt - HRC 2 Protection In

In this review the Flame Resistant High Visibility Hi Vis FR Shirt is evaluated for workers who need certified flash fire and arc flash protection without bulk. The single biggest reason to consider it is compliance: this shirt meets NFPA 2112 and ASTM F1506 standards and carries UL certification, offering an ATPV of 11 Cal/cm2 and an HRC 2 rating that is appropriate for many industrial electrical and fire exposure tasks. It balances safety, breathability and a familiar shirt silhouette for tradespeople who need dependable FR protection on the job.

Key Features

• 100% Cotton Flame Resistant Fabric: Mercerized 7 oz cotton provides flame resistance with a lighter weight that improves comfort for long shifts.
• Certified Protection: ASTM F1506 and NFPA 2112 compliance with UL certification delivers verified protection against arc flash and flash fire hazards.
• ATPV 11 Cal/cm2 HRC 2: The 11 Cal/cm2 arc rating positions this shirt for HRC 2 environments while keeping garment bulk down.
• High Visibility Tape: Two bands of ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant FR reflective tape increase day and low-light visibility for roadside and site work.
• Functional Shirt Design: Western front with pearl snaps, action back pleats and two breast pockets with pen slot combine safety with practical wearability.
• Reduced Shrinkage Fabric: Mercerization is used to limit shrinkage and improve durability when washed per care instructions.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at electricians, utility workers, welders, and industrial maintenance crews who require certified FR apparel that still looks and fits like a regular work shirt. It works well where visibility and NFPA/ASTM compliance are mandated by site safety programs.

Workers who expect heavy industrial laundering, need a very trim fashion fit, or who cannot tolerate any shrinkage should consider sizing up or choose factory-tested launderable alternatives; customers who want soft synthetic blends for cooling should look elsewhere because this is 100% cotton FR fabric.
