The OEL AFW040-KJ 40 CAL Jacket is a Category 4 arc flash garment designed to provide protective coverage for workers in high-energy electrical environments. Constructed from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, this jacket balances flame-resistant performance with durable, breathable comfort. The fabric choice aligns with the product’s arc-rated designation, and the garment is tested to meet NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269 standards, supporting its use in environments where electrical safety requirements are critical. The jacket features non-metallic, non-conductive materials and a hook-and-loop enclosure, with a 32-inch standard length and dual expansive back paneling to accommodate layering and movement. These design elements contribute to a protective profile while allowing for practical wear over other PPE layers.
OEL emphasizes domestic production, with hand-assembly in the USA and a focus on safe, reliable arc flash clothing. This jacket is intended for professionals who need arc-rated protection without compromising on the flexibility required for daily tasks. The included features, together with the specified CAL rating of 40 cal/cm², indicate its suitability for higher-risk settings where arc flash protection is mandated. Washing guidance includes use of bleach and hydrogen peroxide, and a spec sheet is available for detailed technical review, helping users verify compliance for their particular safety program.
Specifically, this jacket is compatible with standard PPE ensembles used in electrical maintenance and related fields. It is sold as an individual garment, with packaging described as per-unit (each). When selecting sizing and fit, consider the 32-inch length and back panel design to ensure full coverage and freedom of movement over standard protective layers. Keeping to manufacturer recommendations for care will help maintain the garment’s protective properties over time.
