The OEL AFW40LF-NJB 40 CAL Jacket and Bib Overall Kit is an arc-flash protective ensemble designed for workers requiring Category 4 protection. This kit combines a 40 cal/cm² rated jacket and bib-overall with a full lift-front hood assembly, offering integrated personal protective equipment for environments with high arc-flash risk. The fabric is described as an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, reflecting a balance of natural fiber comfort and durable FR performance. The apparel is manufactured in the USA, with hand sewing and domestic material sourcing emphasized by the maker, and it is paired with a Class E-rated hard hat and HT CLEAR faceshield to complete a bare-minimum kit for arc-flash tasks.
Key construction and features cited include non-metallic, non-conductive materials, dual reinforced stitching, and a premium lift-front hood style intended to support a clear line of sight while wearing the hood. The kit also references optional add-ons such as retro-fitted dual 50 Cal articulating lights and a rear ventilation/9V head-cooling option, alongside auto-ventilations and indirect air vents to support wearer comfort under demanding conditions. The product delivers standard compliance references such as NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269, indicating alignment with recognized arc-flash protection and electrical-safety guidelines.
Practical considerations include the kit’s packaging and contents: jacket, bib-overall, Class E hard hat, HT CLEAR faceshield, the assembled 40 CAL lift-front hood, plus headgear storage and a compact duffle bag for portability. The washing instructions note bleach and hydrogen peroxide as acceptable care options, which may influence maintenance planning. This kit is sold as an assembled, single-package solution for users needing immediate arc-flash PPE deployment, with a focus on meeting CAL 40 protection levels and related standards as part of a factory-assembled set.
