The OEL AFW25L-NCO 25 CAL Coat Kit SwitchGear Hood is a Category 3 arc-flash protective ensemble designed for environments with potential arc-flash exposure. The kit centers on a 50-inch navy coat constructed from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, paired with navy leggings. Non-metallic, non-conductive materials and a hook-and-loop enclosure support straightforward donning and removal, while dual expansive back paneling helps with mobility during work. The included assembled complete Switchgear Hood, safety glasses, a Class E rated hard hat with HT lens faceshield, cap bracket, and a headgear storage bag provide a comprehensive, ready-to-wear solution for workers needing reliable arc-flash protection in a single package. Washing instructions specify care with bleach and hydrogen peroxide to help maintain fabric performance over time.
Documented standards coverage confirms compliance framing: NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 are indicated as applicable, with a CAL rating of 25 CAL/cm² (CAT3). This alignment with recognized arc-flash safety standards helps guide selection for workers and supervisors evaluating PPE that meets established protective criteria. The kit’s color is navy, which is a common choice for flame-resistant apparel and helps with visibility in various work settings. The package is described as Each, with a complete set intended for Switchgear-related tasks, offering a built-in head and eye protection component to reduce the number of separate components a user must source.
Practical considerations include the included headgear and faceshield options, which may influence fit, comfort, and compatibility with other PPE layers. For maintenance, the washing instructions call for bleach and hydrogen peroxide, emphasizing the need to follow specific laundering guidelines to preserve fabric integrity and protective performance. For those ordering multiple units or coordinating on job-site PPE, this kit provides a consolidated option that aligns with typical arc-flash protection requirements while delivering a full head-to-toe setup in a single purchase.
