PIP 385-HDFR-13 Double-Layer AR/FR Cotton / Nylon Balaclava - 32.4 Cal/cm2 Navy

The PIP 385-HDFR-13 (NV) is a double-layer balaclava designed for use under arc flash PPE ensembles and for daily wear in environments where FR protection is required. The garment combines an FR cotton/nylon knit (86/14) with a weight of 13 oz for a balance of warmth, breathability, and arc-resistant performance. It features self-binding for secure fit and smooth edges against the face and neck, helping to minimize irritation during extended wear. The arc rating—ATPV 32.4 cal/cm²—positions this balaclava within PPE Category 3 for compatible hazard assessments, reflecting its suitability for certain high-energy exposure scenarios when used as part of a comprehensive arc-rated system. Available color options include Navy and Orange to support visibility or adherence to site color standards.

Constructed for daily wear and for use beneath arc flash coveralls or suits, this balaclava emphasizes comfort close to the skin while maintaining protection characteristics required by AR/FR applications. Care is designated as home wash, simplifying maintenance for routine use in facilities or job sites where frequent laundering may be necessary. The product ships individually, with a case quantity of 100 units, enabling convenient stocking for teams or centralized inventories.

Users should verify compatibility with their arc-rated program and ensure that the 32.4 cal/cm² ATPV rating aligns with the specific hazard assessments of their work environment. When used as part of an integrated PPE system, this balaclava can help maintain barrier protection and reduce heat buildup by leveraging its knit composition.
