FAQs

What does 'Guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment' mean?

This means the flame-resistant properties of the fabric are designed to last throughout the expected lifespan of the jacket, provided the care instructions are followed correctly. It assures that the protective qualities will not diminish significantly with normal use and washing.

How does this jacket protect against different types of heat?

It provides protection against radiant heat (heat emitted from a source), convective heat (heat transferred through air), and contact heat (direct touch with a hot object). It also includes Class 2 welding protection.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is specifically designed for cold conditions with extra thick wadding insulation and an FR cotton lining to provide significant warmth.

What is the benefit of the anti-static feature?

The anti-static properties help to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of static discharge which can be a hazard in certain industrial environments, especially those with flammable materials or sensitive electronic equipment.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its protective qualities?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a medium setting. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning, as these can damage the flame-resistant treatment.

Is the hood permanently attached?

No, the hood is detachable and attaches with a brass zip, allowing you to remove it when not needed for better visibility or comfort.

What are the UPF ratings for the fabric?

The shell fabric is rated UPF 50+, meaning it blocks over 98% of UV rays.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the inner waist drawcord for a more snug or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size chart.

Reflective tape appears damaged or worn.

Inspect the tape regularly. If significantly damaged, its reflective and flame-resistant properties may be compromised. Consider replacement if safety is impacted.

Jacket no longer feels adequately warm.

Check that all layers are intact and that the outer fabric is clean. Follow proper washing instructions to avoid damaging the insulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing it. If damage persists, professional repair may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Ensure the detachable hood is securely attached or removed based on your needs using the brass zip.

Compatibility: This garment is designed for adult males and is suitable for various industries requiring flame-resistant and anti-static protection, particularly offshore, welding, and general industrial work. It meets multiple EN standards: EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2 B1, C1, E2, F1), EN 1149-5, EN 342 (0.321 M².K/W, 2, X), and EN ISO 11611 (Class 2 A1+A2).

Care: To maintain the integrity of the flame-resistant properties and the garment's lifespan, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature setting.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Detergents: Use only mild detergents. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade flame-resistant finishes. Wash dark colors separately. Wash inside out.
