The OEL AFW40-KCO 40 Cal Coat Kit SwitchGear Hood is a Category 4 arc flash protection ensemble designed for industries where high-heat and electrical hazards are present. This kit centers on an 40 CAL coat and matching leggings in khaki, crafted from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, with non-metallic, non-conductive materials and a hook-and-loop enclosure for secure, adjustable closure. The garment set includes safety glasses, a Class E rated hard hat with HT lens faceshield, a cap bracket, and a switchgear hood option (assembled complete hood or lift front hood), plus storage bags and an arc flash duffle bag for organization and transport. The kit is built to support compliance with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, and relevant ASTM and OSHA standards, reflecting the performance expectations of Category 4 PPE for arc-flash risk assessment.
Care and maintenance details are noted to support long service life: washing instructions specify avoiding chlorine-based activities (bleach) and hydrogen peroxide, indicating a standard approach for fabric care in FR apparel to preserve textile integrity. The product is designed with practical features for field or shop use, such as a 50-inch coat length, dual expansive back paneling, an elastic waistband (with up to 6 inches of waist expansion), and a 16-inch leg slit to aid mobility while maintaining coverage during movement. These design choices help accommodate a range of body sizes and layering needs while ensuring consistent protection.
Verified compatibility and packaging information indicate a single-unit package as ‘Each,’ with the kit offering a complete solution for arc-flash protection readiness. The inclusion of a spec sheet and the documented PPE categories (Category 4, NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, OSHA 1910.269) provide the essential references for buyers evaluating compliance and field applicability. While the data confirms the core components and standards alignment, any product selection should be guided by the specific hazard assessment for the intended work environment.
