Overview
A heavy navy coverall built on flame-retardant principles: a stand collar, a concealed two-way zip with a storm flap, flapped chest pockets, and silver reflective banding around the chest, each sleeve and each ankle. Where the other coveralls in this range trade fluorescent area for durability, this one carries its visibility entirely in banding on a dark garment.
Construction
- Heavy navy coverall built with flame-retardant principles
- Reflective bands around the chest, each sleeve and each ankle
- Stand collar and concealed two-way zip with storm flap
- Two flapped chest pockets
Certification is a specification, not a claim
Flame-retardant performance is governed by standards that apply to the finished garment, not to the fabric alone, and the relevant standard depends on the hazard the wearer faces — flash fire, welding, or arc. This garment is built to be specified against one: state the standard required and the fabric, stitching and hardware are confirmed against it at order stage. No certification is claimed for the garment until that confirmation is made.
Typical use
Roles where a dark coverall is preferred and banding carries the visibility — utilities, heavy maintenance and industrial sites — subject to the flame-retardant standard being confirmed for the specific hazard.
Flame retardancy belongs to the garment system, not the shell
Flame-retardant performance is assessed on the finished garment and on the combination actually worn: a flame-retardant coverall over a non-flame-retardant base layer is not a flame-retardant system. The reflective banding then has to be chosen so that it does not compromise that performance, which is a material decision rather than a decorative one. The standard that applies depends on the hazard, because molten metal, arc and radiant heat are different tests with different markings.
What to confirm before ordering
- Class or type you are buying to: EN ISO 20471 class 1, 2 or 3, or an ANSI/ISEA 107 type. The same garment cannot be every class, so the class has to be stated before the banding is fixed.
- The layer it goes over: Class areas are measured on the garment, not on the outfit. A jacket worn over a fleece has to fit over the fleece, which may mean a larger size rather than less banding.
- Whether waterproofing or flame retardancy is also required: Those are separate standards with separate tests. A high-visibility claim says nothing about either.
- Band width and layout, if your buyer's spec fixes them: Two suppliers can both meet a class with different layouts, so a fixed layout is a spec item and not a detail.
- Whether trims, logos and pockets may reduce the fluorescent area: Some specs prohibit it. Pockets and logos are subtracted from the area that counts.
Compliance note
A high-visibility garment is assessed as a garment, not as a fabric. Band width, band count, fluorescent area and the way they are laid out are all measured on the finished article, and the class belongs to that article. What can be stated here is the standard the build is designed against and how the banding is arranged; what cannot be stated on a product page is that a particular batch's certificate matches your requirement. That certificate is requested per order, against the standard and class in your purchase spec, and it is the document your customer's auditor will ask for.
