The OEL AFW012-NBO-W is a women’s 12 CAL arc-rated bib overall designed for environments where non-metallic, non-conductive PPE is required. Built from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, this garment combines comfort with arc-flash resistance, aligning with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269 requirements as indicated in its specifications. The piece is handsewn in the USA and produced under OEL’s domestic sourcing and manufacturing approach, with the aim of delivering consistent quality and traceability in arc flash protection programs.
Key construction features highlighted in the product data include a hook-and-loop enclosure, torso adjustment with hook-and-loop fasteners, and non-metallic expansive straps, which help facilitate a secure fit without conductive hardware. The inseam offers a standard 30-inch length with an inseam hemlock adjustment up to 6 inches, and a 24-inch leg slit to accommodate mobility and layering. These design choices support practical use in field service and maintenance tasks where movement, comfort, and ease of donning are important, while maintaining the required arc-flash rating.
Users should consider compatibility with their existing PPE ensembles and layering needs, especially since the garment is specified to be appropriate for Category 2 CAL protection levels. The package size is listed as Each, and the product is Navy in color. For maintenance, the recommended care items include bleach and hydrogen peroxide, which should be considered within a broader wash routine to preserve flame-resistant characteristics. A downloadable spec sheet is available for more detailed technical confirmation.
