• Specialized Functionality: Includes elastic H2S monitor loops, essential in chemical plants and platforms, as well as a two-way brass front zipper with a quick-release (breakaway) system.
• Storage and Comfort: Equipped with 8 strategic pockets and a side elasticated waist that ensures a comfortable and professional fit.

Safety Notice and Limitations of Use

IMPORTANT: The garment must always be worn closed to maintain its protective integrity against sudden fire and arc flash. The H2S monitor loops and quick-release zipper must be checked to ensure they are in perfect condition before entering hazardous areas. Do not make unauthorized modifications to the tailored design, as this could affect CAT 2 safety certifications.
