FR Coverall & Bib

FR coveralls are one-piece garments with full arm and leg coverage. FR bib overalls cover the chest and legs but leave the arms free, so you wear them over an FR shirt. Bibs give more airflow and movement. Coveralls give one-piece coverage.

NFPA 2112 covers garments for flash fire protection. NFPA 70E is the electrical safety standard that tells employers which arc rating a task needs. Arc ratings are measured in cal/cm². CAT 2 means at least 8 cal/cm². Always check the garment label for the exact standard and rating.

No. All arc-rated clothing is flame resistant, but not all FR clothing is arc rated. Arc-rated garments are tested for the heat energy of an electrical arc and carry a cal/cm² value on the label. If your job has arc flash risk, check for that number.

Yes, if you work outdoors in cold weather. Insulated FR bib overalls add warmth without giving up flame protection. Forge FR offers insulated bibs in black, brown, navy, grey, and charcoal grey. Choose unlined bibs for warmer climates or indoor work.

Wear FR or 100% cotton layers underneath. Avoid polyester, nylon, and other synthetics, because they can melt onto skin in a fire. Layers under FR gear should not weaken the protection of the outer garment.

Wash them by the care label on the garment. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, since they can reduce FR performance on some fabrics. Clean off oil and grease before they build up. Replace any garment with burns, tears, or worn fabric.
