Key Features

• Certified compliance: Designed to meet HRC2, Atpv 9.2 Cal/cm2 and compliant with NFPA2112, NFPA70E and ASTM F1506 for recognized flash fire and arc flash protection.

Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at welders, ironworkers, fitters and electricians who require certified flame-resistant apparel that can stand up to industrial use. It is a sensible choice for contractors and shop technicians who need NFPA2112 and ARC-rated compliance paired with a classic shirt style.

Workers who need lighter, cooler garments or who prefer non-cotton blends for high-moisture environments should look elsewhere; likewise anyone who expects absolute immunity from burns should understand that FR clothing reduces risk but is not a guarantee against all incidents.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• FR-treated buttons, thread and visible tags simplify inspection and reduce weak points.

Cons

• Some users report fabric damage in extreme exposure scenarios, so the shirt is not invulnerable to direct flame or repeated high-heat contact.
