Arc Rated GORE-TEX PYRAD Garments

Arc Rated
 

The GORE-TEX PYRAD fabric blocks convective heat flow on arc exposure. It stops flame propagation by forming a carbonaceous char with the fabric while maintaining its physical integrity for reduced heat transfer to the skin.

Lightweight
 

These garments are up to 45% lighter than competitive garments; they feel significantly less bluky and offer higher freedom of movement. More comfort leads to increased wearer acceptance and thus to increase safety.

Waterproof
 

Arc rated GORE-TEX PYRAD® garments are durably waterproof as protection against rain and wind is key to preventing wear-ers from getting wet and cold. Their high breathability helps to avoid moisture building up from inside.

Stretch
 

Arc rated GORE-TEX PYRAD® garments are also available in a stretch fabric for an increased comfort. Electrical workers can easily bend, kneel, climb, and stretch without any restriction of movement.
