Key Features

• FR hardware and labeling: FR buttons, threads and clear tags plus a UL neck label give quick visual confirmation of protective features.
• Durable pockets and build: Practical for welders and electricians with reinforced elements intended for heavy use on the jobsite.

Who It's For

The shirt is aimed at welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and other tradespeople who require certified flame-resistant apparel that balances protection with everyday comfort.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers requiring very high ATPV values above 9.2 Cal/cm2 or specialized garments with added arc flash layering and insulation; also users wanting synthetic moisture-wicking performance should consider other FR fabric blends.
