The OEL AFW040-BSJ-GTX-W is a high-performance arc-rated jacket designed for demanding field work where protection and mobility are essential. Built with Pyrad fabric in collaboration with GORE-TEX Labs, this single-layer material aims to resist water and wind while supporting heat stress management. The garment also features FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT technology to help you maintain a full range of motion during tasks that require agility and reach. All OEL garments in this line are tested to meet the safety standards applicable to arc flash clothing, and the product is manufactured in the United States.
Key design elements include enhanced shoulder and elbow articulation, dual frontal jacket closures, and a dual back panel layout to support layered movement. The jacket incorporates FR high-visibility striping for visibility in low-light or roadside environments, along with knit cuff fastenings to help seal sleeves during work. A 32-inch jacket length provides extended coverage while enabling freedom of movement for a variety of torso sizes and work heights.
Typical use scenarios involve electrical maintenance, utility fieldwork, and other industrial settings where arc-rated protection (Category 4, 40 CAL/cm²) is required alongside weather resistance. The garment is certified across several standard areas relevant to PPE selection, including NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, OSHA 1910.269, and CAL rating, with Pyrad Fabric identified as the principal material. For care, follow the washing guidance provided with the product; note that certain chemical washes (bleach or hydrogen peroxide) are specified in the care instructions. The item is packaged as a single unit per package size and includes the specified features and construction details to support both safety and mobility on the job site.
