PIP® AR/FR Dual-Certified Ripstop Long Sleeve Work Shirt - 9 cal/cm2

PIP®AR/FR Dual-Certified Ripstop Long Sleeve Work Shirt - 9 cal/cm2

When working in high-voltage utility grids, petrochemical processing plants, or heavy metal fabrication environments, second-rate workwear is not an option. Ordinary apparel will ignite and melt under thermal stress, causing severe contact injuries. The PIP® 385-FRRS AR/FR Dual-Certified Long Sleeve Work Shirt is purposefully engineered to eliminate this hazard, providing elite protection, reliable durability, and daily comfort for high-risk manual labor crews.

Constructed from a lightweight yet highly fortified 6 oz. Modacrylic/Cotton/Aramid fiber matrix, this safety shirt delivers certified flame-resistant (FR) performance that won’t wash out or degrade over time. The innovative cross-hatched ripstop weave adds structural integrity, preventing surface friction, snags, and small punctures from spreading across the fabric. Interwoven with a 2% antistatic grid (ISO 1149-3), it systematically minimizes dangerous electrostatic buildup in environments with volatile dusts or fuel vapors.

Advanced Structural Layout & Wearer Comfort

Unlike bulky, traditional FR apparel that traps sweat and restricts movement, the 385-FRRS safety shirt offers a highly breathable, skin-safe fit certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. To guarantee absolute thermal integrity, the shirt is stitched entirely using high-tenacity aramid flame-resistant thread and features rugged, shatter-resistant melamine FR buttons that will not crack or fail under intense heat exposure.

Built for optimal workplace efficiency, the garment features two large chest pockets equipped with secure buttoned flap closures and integrated pencil slots. Additionally, radial utility loop points are stitched onto both shoulders, providing a convenient anchor point for hanging gas detectors, radio mics, or clipping safety accessories.
