Men's FR Hoodies

Men's FR Hoodies

When you're working around flash fire or arc flash hazards, your hoodie needs to do more than keep you warm. NKE's FR hoodies for men are built from flame-resistant cotton that self-extinguishes on contact with flame — so you get the comfort of a hoodie with the protection your job demands. From oil fields and refineries to electrical utilities and construction sites, these are made for the people who can't afford to cut corners on safety.

FR Pullover Hoodie vs FR Zip Up Hoodie — Which One Is Right for You?

Both styles are fully FR-compliant, but they serve slightly different needs on the job. The FR pullover hoodie is a clean, no-fuss layering piece with no zipper hardware to snag on equipment — ideal as a mid-layer under an FR jacket during cold weather shifts. The FR zip up hoodie gives you more flexibility when you're moving between indoor and outdoor environments and need to regulate temperature without fully removing a layer. Pick the one that fits how your day actually runs.

Fabric Built for the Job Site

NKE offers two fabric constructions in this collection. The full zip hoodies are made from 12 oz, 100% cotton — heavy, warm, and durable for cold-weather outdoor work. The lightweight flex hoodies use a 6 oz, 93% cotton / 7% spandex blend, giving you stretch and mobility for technical tasks that demand a full range of motion. Both are available in worksite-ready colorways including Navy, Black, OD Green, Charcoal Grey, and Khaki Green, and both hold their FR properties through repeated industrial washing.

Who These Are Made For

These hoodies are worn by electricians, utility workers, oil and gas field crews, industrial construction workers, and plant maintenance personnel — anyone whose job puts them near ignition sources and needs reliable FR outerwear that actually fits into a real work wardrobe. Free shipping on all orders over $99.

FAQ

1. What makes an FR hoodie different from a regular hoodie? 

Regular hoodies — especially those with synthetic fibers — can ignite and keep burning, making injuries far worse. FR hoodies for men are made from flame-resistant fabric that self-extinguishes once the ignition source is removed. NKE uses cotton-based FR fabrics with no synthetic components that could melt onto skin.

2. Should I pick a pullover or a zip up FR hoodie? 

If you mainly use it as a mid-layer under FR outerwear, go with the pullover. If you're constantly moving between temperature zones or need to take it on and off quickly during a shift, the zip up is the better call.

3. Can I layer these over or under other FR garments? 

Yes, and you should. These hoodies are designed to work within a full FR layering system — over an FR baselayer, under an FR jacket. Just make sure every layer is FR-rated. One non-FR layer in the mix can compromise your entire system.

4. How do I care for my FR hoodie without damaging the FR properties? 

Machine wash in warm water with a mild detergent. Skip fabric softeners, bleach, and starch — these coat the fibers and can reduce FR performance over time. Tumble dry on low. Always follow the care label on your specific garment.

5. What fabric weights does NKE offer in FR hoodies? 

The full zip hoodies are 12 oz, 100% cotton — heavy and warm, built for cold job sites. The lightweight flex hoodies are 6 oz, 93% cotton / 7% spandex — lighter with stretch built in, better for high-mobility work.

6. Do these hoodies protect against arc flash as well as flash fire? 

FR cotton provides a level of protection against both. For arc flash specifically, protection level is tied to the garment's ATPV rating. If your job requires you to meet a specific incident energy level, check the product spec or reach out to us before purchasing.

7. Do you offer bulk ordering for crews or companies? 

Yes. NKE supports bulk and distributor orders for companies outfitting full crews in FR workwear. Visit the Distributor page or contact us at Onlinestore@nkesafetyapparel.com or +1 (945) 253-8191 for pricing and availability.
