We focus a lot on the durability of our FR clothing. Durability is crucial to flame-resistant and arc-rated safety apparel, as body coverage is what keeps you protected while on the job. Exposures, due to holes or tears in the seams, leaves your skin unprotected, potentially putting you at risk. Keeping our customers safe in our number one priority, and manufacturing a durable, well-constructed product is the first step in doing so.
The construction of our men's and women's FR clothing is completed in accordance with strictest standards. All of our FR fabrics have undergone lengthy tests that cover everything from arc-flash, flash fire, color fastness, waterproofness, and tear strength. We've worked extremely hard to develop these fabrics, with the goal to provide the highest-performing and longest-lasting FR clothing on the market.
The durability of our proprietary FR fabrics is a source of great pride. Our proprietary FR fabrics have been rigorously tested to ensure our FR clothing will hold up for years to come. Durability is crucial to performance, and your budget. FR clothing is more expensive than your typical workwear, as the fabrics are highly technical. The longer each piece lasts, the less of a financial burden it is on customers who are required to wear FR clothing at work everyday.
In addition to using fabrics that are developed with durability in mind, each garment is crafted to work as hard as you do.
Our FR Clothing is built with triple needle stitching, reinforced stress points, thick belt loops, and durable materials to ensure every detail is as durable as the next. The only thing you'll need to worry about is trying to keep it clean and looking fresh.
The Evidence
The video attached shows a coverall that's been worked hard in for eight years. And when we say worked hard in, we don't mean mowing the lawn or putting a couple screws in the wall. This coverall has been worn in the field for eight years, dealing with everything that could be thrown its way. As seen below, there are some stains - but otherwise - the coverall has held its own. The fabric has no signs of significant wear, the seams are in tact, the reflective tape has remained in place, and the velcro and zippers are still in perfect condition. It looks like this coverall could go for another eight years - and maybe more!
So while the initial investment in high-quality FR clothing may seem significant, it's important to understand the long-term benefits of doing so. Not only will you save money, but it'll also keep you safe and comfortable for years longer than anything else like it.
