Forge FR offers women's FR crew neck tees, polo tees, henleys, stretch denim jeans, uniform and elastic pants, zip hoodies, and coveralls, including a ripstop coverall. Prices start at $57.25 for tees and go up to $128.75 for the hoodie.

Yes, but the outer layer should also be FR. A non-FR layer on top can catch fire and defeat the protection. Under FR garments, wear FR or 100% natural fibers like cotton. Polyester and nylon can melt onto skin.
