Full details

Its primary benefit is superior protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, along with enhanced visibility. A potential caveat is that while it offers Class 2 welding protection, it may not be suitable for all welding applications. Key features include guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment, anti-static properties, FR cotton lining for extra warmth, and premium reflective tape for visibility.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The primary purpose is to provide protection against heat, flame, and static electricity, while also offering significant warmth and high visibility for individuals working in hazardous industrial environments, particularly offshore.

How long does the flame resistance last?

The flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment, provided the care instructions are followed correctly.

Can this jacket be used for all welding tasks?

The jacket meets EN ISO 11611 Class 2 standards, which is suitable for welding and allied processes. However, specific welding tasks may require different levels of protection based on risk assessment.

What makes this jacket suitable for offshore work?

Its combination of guaranteed flame resistance, insulation for cold conditions, anti-static properties, and high visibility makes it ideal for the demanding and potentially hazardous environment of offshore operations.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its safety features?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a medium setting. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the protective properties.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

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

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, it features two front slant chest pockets with flaps for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing sufficient warmth

Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed. Check that the inner waist adjustment is secured. For extreme cold, consider layering appropriate thermal base layers.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Inspect the tape regularly. If damaged, it may compromise visibility. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive abrasion during cleaning. Professional repair or replacement might be necessary for critical safety functions.

Static electricity is still noticeable

While the jacket has anti-static properties, effectiveness can be influenced by environmental factors (humidity) and other clothing worn. Ensure the garment is clean and properly cared for according to instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth if necessary. Ensure the garment is not bunched around the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure the size is appropriate for comfortable layering underneath.
