The latest in EN 61482 Arc flash protection, FireBear's interlock fabric delivers a minimum 32 Cal* protection within the first two layers.
Combining 12 Cal* base layers with 20 Cal* middle layers delivers incredible lightweight protection and comfort.
Unlike other FR & arc fabrics that require up to 4 layers to reach the highest level of protection outside in harsh winter or summer conditions, FireBear's new design only requires the two layers underneath a wet weather coat or outer jacket to protect against high voltage risk.
We've chosen to use interlock fabric when designing our new FR & arc workwear. Also known as double knit fabric, it is manufactured using two rows of needles. This gives a stronger, firmer, and more durable feel to the clothing while maintaining comfort.
