Safety and Maintenance Notice

IMPORTANT: The FR81 is a vital protective tool. Although its flame-retardant properties are inherent and do not degrade with washing, periodic inspection of the garment's integrity is recommended. Keep the hoodie free from contaminants to ensure that its arc flash and flame protection properties are not compromised during use in critical environments.
