This full zip hooded sweatshirt is a flame resistant layer for work where you face heat, flame or electric arc hazards. It is suitable for wear in ATEX environments, and its multi-norm protection covers several risks in one garment.
The flame resistance comes from the fibres themselves, so it stays in place through repeated washing. A high cotton content makes the fabric pleasant against the skin, and the front pouch pockets keep your hands warm and give you somewhere to store essentials.
