What Can the Orange High-Vis Anti-Static FR Vest Do for Me?
The vest has several helpful features:
- Anti-Static: Carbon fibre woven into the material of the vest means it will protect the wearer from electrostatic discharge in the case of an explosion
- Flame Resistant: Limited exposure to flames will not damage the vest or the wearer
- High-Vis: The 5cm wide reflective stripes and bright orange colour qualify the vest as suitably high-vis for railway work
- Comfortable: A lightweight design means the vest is ideal for working in warm temperatures
The vest is made from the versatile and hard-wearing flame resistant material, Bizflame.
