FAQs

Is the flame resistance permanent?

Yes, the flame-resistant properties are inherent to the material and will not wash out over time.

Can I wear this under a hard hat?

Yes, the thin, ribbed construction is designed to fit comfortably under most standard industrial hard hats.

Is this product machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable; however, please follow the care label instructions to maintain its safety properties.

What gender is this balaclava designed for?

This is a unisex garment suitable for both men and women.

Will this protect me from electrical arcs?

While it features anti-static properties and flame resistance, always verify that your specific site requirements match the garment's certified safety ratings.

Is the material breathable?

It uses high-cotton content, which offers natural breathability, though it is designed to be warm for cooler work environments.

Troubleshooting

Balaclava feels loose after extensive use

The ribbing is designed for durability, but if it has stretched, ensure you are following the recommended drying cycle to allow the fibers to recover.

Skin irritation during use

Ensure the item is thoroughly rinsed during the laundry process to remove any residual soap, as high-cotton fabrics can trap detergents.
