Who It's For

This shirt is aimed at welders, fitters, ironworkers, electricians and other industrial tradespeople who need certified protective clothing during regular work shifts. Its HRC2 classification and NFPA2112 compliance make it a sensible choice where flash fire or arc flash risks must be managed.
