FAQs

What does 'inherent flame resistance' mean?

Inherent flame resistance means the protective qualities are built into the fibers of the fabric itself and will not be lost through washing or wear, unlike treated fabrics.

What is the difference between EBT and ELIM ratings?

EBT (Energy Breakopen Threshold) and ELIM (Incident Energy Limit) are metrics used in arc flash protection. They indicate the amount of energy a garment can withstand before it breaks open or fails, signifying a level of protection. Higher numbers indicate greater protection.

Can I wear this hoodie in very cold weather?

The hoodie is made of fleece (280g/m²) and can serve as a warm layer. For extreme cold, it is intended to be part of a layering system, with appropriate outerwear over it.

How do I clean the concealed phone pocket?

The phone pocket is part of the main garment and should be cleaned according to the general care instructions for the hoodie. Ensure it is empty before washing.

Is this hoodie suitable for welding?

Yes, the hoodie is certified to EN ISO 11612 for protection against heat and flame, making it suitable for welding and similar tasks where sparks and heat exposure are present.

What sizes are available?

The Blaklader 3478 Flame Resistant Hoodie is available in a range of adult sizes, from XS to XXXXL, to ensure a proper fit for most users.

Does the hood offer full head protection?

The fixed, adjustable hood provides significant head coverage. The ingenious collar design allows for increased protection around the neck and lower face when pulled up.

Troubleshooting

Reduced flame resistance after washing

Ensure only mild detergents were used and fabric softeners or bleach were avoided. Re-wash following care label instructions precisely.

Hoodie feels restrictive during movement

Verify the correct size has been selected. The ergonomic fit is designed for mobility, but incorrect sizing can impede movement.

Embroidery appears damaged

Avoid ironing directly on the embroidery. If damage has occurred, it cannot typically be repaired; consider professional assessment if safety is compromised.

Antistatic properties seem ineffective

Antistatic properties can be reduced by excessive washing or contamination. Ensure the garment is clean and dry. In very dry conditions, static can still occur.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides certified flame and arc flash protection.
  • Ergonomic design enhances mobility and comfort.
  • Features a practical, protective hood with adjustable collar.
  • Includes a secure, concealed pocket for a phone.
  • Material is inherently flame-resistant, offering lasting safety.

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain flame-resistant properties.
  • May not be suitable for extreme heat conditions beyond its certification ratings.
  • Limited color options, primarily available in black.
  • Fleece material might be warm for very hot climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: The hoodie is designed for general adult use in industrial settings requiring flame resistance. It can be worn as a mid-layer in colder conditions or as an outer layer in milder weather, provided it meets site-specific safety requirements.

Care Instructions: To maintain the flame-resistant properties and integrity of the hoodie:

  • Wash according to the care label instructions, typically at a maximum of 60°C (140°F).
  • Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the flame-resistant treatment and fabric.
  • Do not iron the decorative embroidery.
  • Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  • Do not dry clean. Professional cleaning with hydrocarbon solvents may compromise flame-retardant properties.
  • Ensure the garment is clean before storage to prevent permanent staining.
