The MWG ELEVATEā¢ Men's FR Performance Hoodie is an arc-rated, flame-resistant hoodie that feels like the athletic gear you'd wear to the gym. It's made with four-way stretch fabric and moisture-wicking technology, rated CAT 2 with an 11 cal arc rating, and built for high visibility with orange, black, and silver reflective striping.
ELEVATEā¢ is our newest collection, made for the working athlete. If your day is full of climbing, lifting, and moving, this is the FR hoodie designed to keep up with you.
What is the MWG ELEVATE collection?
ELEVATEā¢ brings arc-rated protection together with the comfort and fit of performance wear. The idea is simple. Your workday is physical, so your FR clothing should move and breathe like the gear you'd pick for a workout, while still meeting the standards your job calls for.
The collection launches with two hoodies. This post is all about the Performance Hoodie, and you can read about its partner, the ELEVATEā¢ Base Layer Hoodie, in our next post.
Why does an athletic fit matter in FR clothing?
When your FR gear moves with you, you stop thinking about it. Four-way stretch fabric gives as you reach overhead, crouch down, or climb, so the hoodie stays in place instead of pulling across your back or riding up at the waist.
Comfort matters for protection too. FR clothing that feels good is FR clothing you'll keep on all shift, zipped up and covering what it's supposed to cover.
How does the ELEVATE Performance Hoodie handle a hard day's work?
Moisture-wicking technology moves sweat away from your body, which helps you stay comfortable when you're working hard and keeps you from getting chilled when you stop. The fabric is soft and breathable, so it's easy to wear from the first job of the morning to the drive home, and it's built tough enough for real jobsite wear.
That makes it a great fit for fall days that start cold and warm up fast, and a solid mid layer once winter settles in.
Is the ELEVATE Performance Hoodie arc rated and hi vis?
Yes to both. The hoodie is rated CAT 2 with an 11 cal arc rating and meets ASTM F1506 and NFPA 2112. It also meets CSA Z96 for high visibility, with bright orange, black, and silver reflective striping that helps your crew see you on short winter days and in low light.
If you're layering it with other FR pieces to reach a higher rating, check tested combinations in our layering calculator. You can learn more about the standards behind our gear on our safety and compliance page.
How do you wear it through the colder months?
On cool fall mornings, wear it over an FR shirt or an FR base layer. When the temperature drops, it slides under an FR jacket as your warm mid layer. Pair it with an insulated shell from our FR outerwear collection and you're set for the season. For more ideas, see our guide to layering FR clothing for winter.
And if you've been reaching for a regular hoodie on cold mornings, our post on why your hoodie should be FR is worth a read.
