Description:
An inherently FR balaclava that keeps its shape. The Modaflame Knit FR balaclava (Portwest FR09) is made from an inherently flame resistant, antistatic modacrylic and cotton knit, so its FR qualities will not wash out. It protects against the thermal hazard of an electric arc at ATPV 16 cal/cm², and the high cotton content keeps it comfortable on skin for line crews, electricians and oil and gas workers.
