The OEL AFW8-KCO 8 CAL Coat Kit HeadGear Mens Khaki is a complete arc flash protection ensemble designed for workers requiring Category 2 protection. The kit centers on an 8 CAL / CAT2 coat and matching leggings, both constructed to support NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 compliance, with ASTM F1506 & F2178 testing and OSHA 1910.269 alignment. The fabric is listed as an 88/12 premium sateen cotton blend, which is selected to balance durability with comfort in demanding work environments while maintaining the non-metallic, non-conductive characteristics essential for live electrical tasks. The kit also includes eye and face protection, with safety glasses, a Freedom Faceshield, cap bracket, and a headgear storage bag, plus a Cat 2 balaclava for additional coverage. Gloves are not included, so users should source compatible hand protection separately to complete the arc-rated ensemble. The kit is manufactured in the USA, with OEL hand-sewing and a focus on using domestic materials where possible, and it carries a 50” coat length with a 30" inseam and 16" leg slits, features intended to aid range of motion and layering under protective outerwear.
From a practical standpoint, the inclusion of a Class E rated hard, arc-rated headgear and a dedicated arc flash duffle bag helps organize essential PPE for on-site tasks. The kit’s non-metallic construction and foam or fabric-backed components reduce the risk of conductance during electrical work, while the back-panel design and elastic waistband provide a flexible fit. The washing guidance indicates care for maintaining the fabric integrity of the garment, with bleaching and hydrogen peroxide as acceptable treatments to preserve flame-resistant properties. The kit is packaged as a single, complete offering for convenient ordering, with each kit intended to cover a full head-to-toe arc flash setup for Category 2 exposure scenarios.
