Ariat Men's FR Primo Fleece 2.0 Hoodie — Black

Product Description

CAT 3 arc flash protection at 28 cal/cm² in a 12-ounce FR fleece

The FR Primo Fleece 2.0 puts CAT 3 dual-hazard protection — 28 cal/cm² — into a hoodie you'd actually want to wear in January. The 12-ounce fleece is inherently flame resistant, so the protection lives in the fiber and won't wash out over the life of the garment. It runs three times more wind resistant than a cotton fleece of the same weight, and a PFC-free water-repellent finish sheds light rain instead of soaking it up. Built-in Durastretch keeps it from fighting you when you're reaching into a panel, and the extra-high neckline and three-piece adjustable hood close the gap between your collar and your hard hat.

FAQ

What CAT rating is this? CAT 3, with a 28 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? 28 cal/cm², rated to protect against second-degree burns from an electrical arc.

Will the flame resistance wash out? No. The fleece is inherently flame resistant — the protection is built into the fiber itself, not applied as a topical treatment, so it lasts the life of the garment.

Can this be washed at home? Yes — home launder per the sewn-in FR care label. No chlorine bleach and no fabric softener; both interfere with FR performance.
