The OEL AFW40LF-FL-BSJB-GTX-W kit combines a 40 CAL Jacket and 40 CAL Bib-Overall in the Black Series GTX, designed for arc flash protection with a PyRAD fabric layer that is inherently water resistant, windproof, and breathable. The system emphasizes freedom of movement for field work, aiming to reduce heat stress while maintaining essential arc-flash PPE standards. The kit is supplemented with a lift-front hood configuration and includes a hard hat rated Class E, a HT clear faceshield, intrinsically safe lighting, dual 9-volt fan systems, and a ventilation approach described as in-direct, all intended to support visibility, airflow, and wearer comfort during extended use. The overall construction is categorized under Category 4 PPE and aligns with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 requirements, providing a coherent package for electrical safety programs.
In practice, the PyRAD fabric is presented as a single-layer solution that balances weather resistance with breathability, aiming to mitigate heat stress without sacrificing protection. The kit’s components—arc flash apparel, lift-front hood, and integrated head/face protection—are designed to work together so users can don and doff gear as a cohesive system. Maintenance guidance in the provided washing instructions calls for sanitation practices such as avoiding bleach and hydrogen peroxide, reflecting standard PPE care considerations. The package is sold as individual units within the kit, with a Charcoal Grey color scheme and a CAL rating of 40 CAL/cm², which corresponds to a CAT4 level of protection. For buyers, the included accessories (hard hat, faceshield, lighting, ventilation, storage bags) offer a complete arc-flash gear solution in a single purchase, reducing the need to assemble separate components while ensuring compatibility across the listed standards and the Fabric type.
