The OEL AFW040-BSBO-GTX-W is a women’s bib overall designed for hazardous environments where arc flash protection and durable, field-ready performance are required. Built with PYRAD fabric in partnership with GORE-TEX Labs, this single-layer garment is inherently water resistant and windproof, while also prioritizing heat stress mitigation and mobility through FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT technology. The design emphasizes practical field use with features like OEL FR signature bib-overall straps, a hook-and-loop waist fastening, multiple pockets for tools and bib storage, and a reinforced knee area that supports articulation and can accommodate knee pad inserts. The result is a lighter weight, breathable option that maintains barrier protection in variable conditions.
Technical details documented in the product specifications indicate that this garment is categorized as Category 4 PPE and is evaluated to NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269. The fabric is identified as Pyrad Fabric, and the color is charcoal grey, with a tapered leg design and an enhanced 24-inch leg-slit zipper for easier on/off and ventilation when needed. The garment also features a high-visibility FR striping for added visibility in low-light work zones. For finished care, the washing instructions specify avoidance of bleach and hydrogen peroxide exposure, which helps retain fabric integrity and protective properties over time. The product is supplied as a single unit per package and is compatible with standard maintenance practices for FR protective garments.
Users in electrical, utility, and industrial settings who require Category 4 arc-rated protection will find this option aligns with NFPA 70E and related standards. The combination of water and wind resistance with breathability and movement-friendly design makes it suitable for outdoor or temp-controlled environments where workers need mobility without compromising arc-flash protection. For purchase considerations, refer to the included spec sheet and ensure sizing and fit meet your measurement needs, especially given the women’s sizing and the bib/strap configuration.
