Hi Vis FR Shirt for Men - 7.5oz Flame Resistant Reflective

In this review of the Hi Vis FR Shirt for Men the bottom line is straightforward: this is a purpose-built work shirt for tradespeople who need certified flame resistance and high visibility without heavy compromise on fit. The reviewer finds the shirt best for welders, electricians and ironworkers who need HRC2 level protection and reflective coverage that meets ANSI/ISEA 107-20 Type O CLASS 1. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of UL-classified FR protection and extra reflective tape area that improves visibility on back and arms.

Key Features

• FR materials: 7.5oz cotton twill treated for flame resistance so the fabric resists ignition while remaining breathable for many work tasks.
• Certified protection: Meets NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 standards with an Arc Rating ATPV of 10.1 cal/cm2, so it is suitable for HRC2 environments.
• Reflective coverage: 2.4in yellow reflective tape with 1in FR silver paint provides greater visibility with more reflection area on the back and arm.
• FR construction details: FR buttons and aramid sewing threads plus clear FR tags give visible confirmation of flame resistant construction and UL classification.
• Durability in care: Rated to maintain protection for up to 100 washes, making it practical for daily industrial use.

Who It's For

This shirt is designed for men working in industrial and construction settings who need certified flame-resistant apparel and increased visibility-welders, fitters, electricians and ironworkers will find the protection and reflective placement useful. It is also suited to facilities where compliance with NFPA standards and ANSI/ISEA visibility classes is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers in very hot climates who find 7.5oz cotton twill too heavy for prolonged use in 90+ degree weather, and buyers who need a lightweight summer-specific FR shirt or extremely fitted fashion workwear.
