WOMEN'S FR

Women's FR clothing has a tailored fit — narrower shoulders, contoured waist, adjusted sleeve/inseam length — while men's FR is straight-cut. Both use the same fabrics and NFPA 70E/2112 certifications, but proper fit improves mobility and safety.

NKE's women's FR apparel meets NFPA 2112 (flash fire), NFPA 70E (arc flash), and CAT 2 arc rating requirements — confirming the fabric self-extinguishes and won't melt or continue burning after exposure to flame.

Women's FR shirts and tees typically use a cotton-spandex blend (around 93% cotton, 7% spandex) for breathability and stretch. FR jeans use a heavier cotton-spandex denim (around 98% cotton, 2% spandex) for durability.

No, properly cared for FR clothing keeps its protection for the life of the garment. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and starch, as they leave residue that reduces flame resistance. Regular detergent and normal washing are safe.

Women's FR clothing is essential in oil and gas, electrical utilities, welding, and manufacturing — anywhere OSHA or NFPA 70E mandates arc-rated or flame-resistant PPE for on-site safety.

FR clothing should fit close but not tight, keeping the insulating air gap needed for protection without creating a snag hazard. Check the brand's size chart (bust, waist, hip, inseam) rather than assuming your regular clothing size.
