SKSAFETY 7oz FR Shirt for Men - Hi Vis Flame Resistant Longsleeve

In this review the SKSAFETY 7oz FR Shirt is recommended for tradespeople who need reliable, visible flame resistant apparel on the job. The bottom line: it is a practical, wellcertified long sleeve designed for welders, electricians, and highway crews who want arc flash protection and 360 degree visibility without heavy layering. Fit is generally true to size and the cotton fabric balances comfort with flame retardant performance, making it a solid choice for shortterm spark and splash exposures.

Key Features

• Fabric construction: 7oz 100% flame retardant treated cotton provides a breathable base that slows combustion and selfextinguishes rather than continuing to burn.
• Reflective visibility: 2in reflective tape on shoulders, waist, arms and back gives 360 degree visibility for roadway and lowlight work environments.
• Arc rating: With an ATPV of 9 (3 Cal/cm2) the shirt offers defined protection against arc flash exposures common in electrical work.
• FR components: Fabrics, buttons, and seams are flame retardant so weak points are minimized and overall garment performance is consistent.
• Certifications: Tested to UL, ANSI/ISEA, CAT II and NFPA 2112 standards, which supports use in regulated industrial settings.

Who It's For

The SKSAFETY 7oz FR Shirt is best for welders, blacksmiths, electricians, construction crews and roadway workers who need a certified, visible long sleeve that reduces burn risk from sparks and short flame exposure. It is suitable for job sites where NFPA 2112 and CAT II compliance are expected and where 360 degree reflective tape increases onsite safety.

Those who work in continuous extreme heat, require fully fireproof suits for prolonged flame immersion, or need ultralightweight shirts for hot climates may prefer a different garment. This shirt is optimized for shortterm spark splash and arc flash protection rather than full thermal insulation in sustained high heat.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Certified protection with UL, ANSI/ISEA, CAT II and NFPA 2112 compliance, suitable for regulated workplaces.
• Good visibility from 2in reflective tape placed for 360 degree coverage.
• Comfortable 7oz cotton feels breathable while providing flame retardant performance and truetosize fit.
• All garment components including buttons and seams are treated for consistent FR performance.

Cons

• Weight and stitching receive mixed feedback; some users find the shirt heavier than desired for long hot shifts.
• Flame retardant treatment slows burning and selfextinguishes but does not make the fabric completely fireproof for prolonged exposure.
