Wash separately from non-FR garments.
A label with appropriate cleaning instructions is affixed within your garment.
Never use a heavily soiled garment.
Garments with reflective tape should be washed and dried at a lower temperature

When not in use store arc flash clothing in a dry area away from direct sunlight.

Step 2: Pass the tape measure around the palm of your hand as one complete measurement – this measurement represents your glove size e.g. some gloves 8″ represents size 8). Please refer to Size Chart below:
