Ariat Men's FR DuraStretch Colorblock Hoodie — Canteen/Black

Product Description

CAT 2 dual-hazard protection at 21 cal/cm² in an 11-ounce stretch fleece

The FR DuraStretch Colorblock Hoodie carries CAT 2 dual-hazard protection — flash fire and electrical arc — at 21 cal/cm², which is a long way above the 8 cal/cm² floor for a CAT 2 garment and close to CAT 3 territory. It's built from an 11-ounce stretch fleece at 95% cotton with 5% elastane, so it gives at the shoulder instead of binding when you're reaching overhead in a bulky layer. Ribbed hem and cuffs hold their shape, there's a kangaroo pocket up front, and a hidden phone pocket keeps a smartphone secure instead of riding loose in the muff.

FAQ

What CAT rating is this? CAT 2, with a 21 cal/cm² arc rating — dual-hazard for both flash fire and electrical arc.

Is this NFPA 70E compliant? Yes. It meets NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 performance requirements and is UL classified to NFPA 2112.

What's the cal/cm² ATPV? 21 cal/cm². That's well above the minimum for CAT 2, so it carries substantially more arc protection than a typical CAT 2 shirt or hoodie.

Does this stretch? Yes. The fleece is 95% cotton with 5% elastane, so it moves with you instead of pulling at the shoulder.

How do I wash it? Turn it inside out and machine wash warm with like colors, tumble dry medium. No bleach, softeners, or starch — all three interfere with FR performance. It can be dry cleaned, and a warm iron is fine.
