Modacrylic Cotton Blend

Question 1

What arc flash protection rating does the Flamesafe SMAZB FR Quarter-Zip Grid Fleece Shirt meet?

Answer

This shirt is rated NFPA 70E Category 2 (CAT 2) and meets ASTM F1506, making it suitable for arc flash hazard environments requiring that level of protection. Always verify that these ratings align with your site-specific job hazard assessment before use.

Question 2

What is the fabric composition of this FR fleece shirt, and why does it matter for flame resistance?

Answer

The shirt is constructed from a 9.25oz FR Modacrylic Cotton Blend using a grid fleece construction. Modacrylic fibers are inherently flame resistant, meaning the FR protection is built into the fiber itself rather than applied as a finish, which helps maintain compliance throughout the garment's service life.

Question 3

Is the Flamesafe SMAZB comfortable enough for extended wear in the field?

Answer

Yes — the shirt features Maxisoft® fabric, which is confirmed to be neither stiff nor itchy, making it well-suited for long shifts in oil and gas, utility, or industrial maintenance environments. The grid fleece construction also adds a layer of thermal comfort without sacrificing FR performance.

Question 4

What is the correct color of this shirt — Navy or Black?

Answer

The confirmed product color listed in the description is Navy; however, the supplier product name references Black. We recommend contacting TXOIL Outfitters directly at txoil.com to verify the exact color before placing your order.

Question 5

Does this FR fleece shirt offer any sun protection for outdoor work?

Answer

Yes, the Flamesafe SMAZB Quarter-Zip Grid Fleece Shirt includes UPF 50+ protection, blocking the majority of ultraviolet radiation. This makes it a practical choice for outdoor oil and gas or utility work where workers face both arc flash hazards and prolonged sun exposure.
