Portwest FR30 Modaflame Anti-Static FR Fleece
The Portwest FR30 Modaflame Anti-Static FR Fleece is both a comfortable and a functional garment. The high-cotton content fabric is soft and warm, but still protects against radiant and convective heat, and the fleece's two concealed side pockets allow for secure storage.
What Can the Modaflame Anti-Static FR Fleece Do for Me?
The polo shirt has several helpful features:
- Flame Resistant: The fleece offers protection against radiant and convective heat which will not diminish with washing
- Multi Hazard: The fleece also shields the wearer from electrostatic discharge and the thermal hazards of an electrical arc
- Comfortable: The fabric has a high cotton content for superior comfort, the drawcord adjustable hems and elasticated cuffs provide a secure fit, and the fleece features a chin guard for optimum warmth and stability
- Functional: The fabric is anti-pill on both sides for longevity, the two zipped pockets allow for secure storage, and the front zip makes access quick and easy
The fleece retains its shape due to its high elastic properties, its softness to the high cotton content, and its flame resistance due to the relevant fibres in the makeup of the fabric. All of these qualities are thanks to the material the fleece is constructed from, a tough modacrylic known as Modaflame.
Who Can Use the Portwest FR Fleece?
The Portwest fleece will keep you warm, comfortable and protected in hazardous environments. It is suitable for constant everyday wear in settings where there is a risk of fire hazards, and neither the shape of the garment nor the flame resistance will diminish with washing.
