The OEL AFW40FL-KJB 40 CAL Jacket and Bib Overall Kit with SwitchGear Hood is a complete arc-flash protective ensemble designed for demanding electrical work environments. The kit combines a 40 CAL/cm² rated jacket and bib-overalls with non-metallic, non-conductive materials and a hood, providing Category 4 PPE suitable for crews facing higher arc-flash hazards. Each component is manufactured from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend and is assembled in the USA, reflecting OEL’s emphasis on domestic production and garment testing to meet applicable safety standards.
Key construction features include a hook-and-loop enclosure, torso-adjusting fasteners, and a 32-inch inseam with a 24-inch leg slit, along with dual expansive back paneling and an elastic waistband that accommodates up to 6 inches of waist expansion. These design choices support fit versatility and ease of donning while maintaining arc-flash protection. The kit’s inclusions—safety glasses, a Class E hard hat with HT lens faceshield, a Switchgear Hood, cap bracket, headgear storage bag, and an Arc Flash Duffle Bag—provide a ready-to-use solution for on-site protection and essential gear transport.
Applicable standards coverage is explicit in the product specifications, with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 and F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 compliance indicated for the ensemble. This alignment with recognized safety frameworks helps buyers assess suitability for their electrical safety programs. For maintenance and care, the washing instructions specify avoiding chlorine-based processes and recommending bleach alternatives such as peroxide; always consult the spec sheet for detailed care guidance. The kit is packaged as an individual unit, including all listed components, and a spec sheet is available for deeper technical reference.
