FR Anti-Static Hi-Vis ARC Flash Sweatshirt – Class 3 Protection Protective Workwear Overview

Hi-Vis ARC Flash Sweatshirt. The FR Anti-Static Hi-Vis ARC Flash Sweatshirt is engineered for professionals

operating in high-risk industrial, rail, aviation, and utility environments where multi-hazard protection is essential. Combining

inherent flame resistance, anti-static performance, and certified high-visibility design, this garment delivers dependable

safety while maintaining the comfort required for long working shifts. Built to meet stringent international standards,

it is an ideal solution for teams exposed to heat, flame, electrical hazards, and low-light working conditions.

Manufactured using a robust 300 gsm fabric blend of 60 percent modacrylic and 40 percent cotton, the sweatshirt

provides an effective balance of durability, softness, and long-term protective performance. Because the flame-retardant

properties are inherently built into the fibers rather than applied as a surface treatment, the garment maintains its

protective capability throughout repeated washing cycles and extended service life. This makes it a reliable

investment for organizations focused on both safety compliance and cost efficiency.

Built for Demanding Industrial Environments

This multi-hazard sweatshirt is specifically designed for workers who require reliable protection without sacrificing mobility or day-long comfort. The high-visibility orange outer fabric enhances wearer conspicuity in busy or low-light environments, while the two band and brace retro-reflective tape configuration ensures full Class 3 visibility compliance. This level of visibility is critical for personnel working near moving vehicles, aircraft, rail operations, or heavy machinery.

Comfort and fit are equally prioritized. Ribbed cuffs provide a secure seal at the wrists, helping to retain warmth and maintain garment positioning during active movement. The ribbed waistband supports shape retention and prevents ride-up during bending, reaching, or climbing tasks. Together, these features make the sweatshirt suitable for physically demanding roles where unrestricted movement is essential.

The fabric weight and construction also provide dependable warmth in cooler working environments without excessive bulk, allowing the garment to function effectively as either a standalone outer layer or part of a layered PPE system.

Inherent Flame Retardant and Anti-Static Protection

One of the key advantages of this sweatshirt is its inherently flame-retardant construction. Unlike treated fabrics that may lose effectiveness over time, the modacrylic fiber blend ensures that the fire-retardant performance remains consistent throughout the garment’s lifespan. This provides long-term compliance and reduces the need for premature replacement.

In addition to flame protection, the garment incorporates anti-static properties designed to reduce electrostatic charge buildup. This is particularly important in environments where static discharge could present an ignition risk or interfere with sensitive equipment. The combination of FR and anti-static performance makes this sweatshirt well suited for electrical utilities, fuel handling areas, aviation ground operations, and rail infrastructure work.

ARC Flash Protection Performance

Each garment style is independently tested against both box arc and open arc standards to verify protective performance in electrically hazardous environments. The fabric system is engineered to help reduce the risk of burn injury during arc flash incidents while still maintaining breathability and wearer comfort during normal duties.

With verified ATPV and ELIM ratings, the sweatshirt provides a dependable layer of protection for personnel working near energized systems. This makes it particularly valuable for electrical maintenance teams, rail electrification crews, and aviation ground support personnel operating around powered equipment.
