The Portwest FR601 is a multi-norm flame resistant jacket for work where heat, flame, molten metal splash and electric arc are real hazards. It protects against radiant, convective and contact heat and is suitable for use in ATEX environments.
Stretch panels let you reach, bend and climb with ease. Vents on the upper and lower back help release heat during active tasks. Five pockets, radio loops and reflective trims make it a practical everyday jacket on site.
