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

In this review of the SKSAFETY 7oz FR Shirt for Men, the bottom line is simple: this is a work shirt built for people who need reliable, certified flame resistance without extra bulk. The shirt is aimed at welders, electricians, blacksmiths and construction crews who face sparks, short-term flash events and need ANSI/ISEA and NFPA-rated protection. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of 100% flame retardant treated cotton and 2 in reflective tape providing both arc flash protection and improved visibility on site.

Key Features

• Fabric: The 7oz 100% flame retardant treated cotton balances durability and protection while remaining breathable for long shifts.
• Visibility: 2 in reflective tape on shoulders, waist, arms and back gives 360 degree visibility for roadway and low-light work.
• Arc protection: Full protection with an ATPV of 9 and 3 cal/cm2 rating provides a defined level of arc flash resistance for electrical work.
• Flame resistant construction: Fabrics, buttons and seams are treated for flame resistance so small ignition sources are less likely to propagate.
• Certifications: Certified to UL, ANSI/ISEA, CAT II and NFPA 2112 standards, making it appropriate for regulated workplaces.
• Work-ready design: Long sleeves and durable stitching make it suitable for welding, construction and highway traffic control.

Who It's For

This shirt is for professionals who routinely encounter sparks, brief flame contact or low-to-moderate arc flash risk and who need certified PPE that also improves visibility. Welders, electricians, blacksmiths and many construction trades will appreciate the CAT II/NFPA compliance and reflective tape for roadside or low-light tasks.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who need full thermal insulation for prolonged exposure to flame or specialized multi-layer fireproof suits, and users who find a heavier 7oz cotton too warm for very hot climates or extended continuous wear under high temperatures.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• The 7oz fabric weight can feel heavy to some users, especially in warm conditions.
