FAQs

What does 'FR' stand for in the product name?

'FR' stands for Flame Resistant, indicating the material is designed to protect against heat and flames.

Is this jacket suitable for all types of welding?

This jacket meets Class 2 welding protection standards (EN ISO 11611), making it suitable for most welding applications. However, always consult your workplace safety guidelines for specific requirements.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart and measure your chest and waist. The jacket is designed to be worn over other clothing, so a slightly looser fit may be comfortable, but ensure closures can be secured properly.

Can the hood be removed permanently?

Yes, the hood is attached via a brass zip and can be detached and reattached as needed. It is not permanently fixed.

What materials are used in the jacket's construction?

The shell fabric is Bizflame Plus (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre - 350g), the lining is 100% Cotton Flame Resistant Lining (170g), and the filling is 100% Polyester Flame Resistant Filling (150g).

What are the UPF rating and its meaning?

The fabric has a 50+ UPF rating, which means it blocks over 98% of UV rays, offering significant protection against sun exposure.

How does the anti-static feature work?

The inclusion of carbon fiber in the shell fabric helps to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of ignition in potentially explosive environments.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel warm enough

Ensure all zippers and closures are fastened. Check that the inner waist adjustment and cuffs are snug to trap heat. For extreme cold, consider layering with appropriate thermal base layers.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If damage occurs, the reflective tape may need professional replacement to maintain visibility standards.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth of any debris. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fabric appears to be losing flame resistance

Ensure care instructions are strictly followed. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat sources outside of normal work activities. If significant degradation is suspected, replace the garment.
