CAT 2 is a hazard risk category for arc flash protection. CAT 2 requires a minimum arc rating of 8 cal/cm². Forge FR jeans are rated ATPV 13 cal/cm², which is above that minimum. CAT 2 is the level most electricians, utility workers, and maintenance technicians wear daily.

They use 10.5 oz FR denim made of 98% cotton and 2% spandex. The stretch helps with bending, squatting, and reaching. Features include an aramid FR zipper, aramid thread, embroidered back pockets, and a light sanded look, so they work on the job and off it.

Yes. Forge FR women's jeans have a modern denim look with embroidered back pockets and light sanding, so they don't look like typical workwear. You can wear them to a job site or out afterward. For work, always follow your employer's PPE rules.

Always follow the care label first. General guidance: use plain detergent, and avoid chlorine bleach, fabric softener, dryer sheets and starch. Wash regularly, because dirt and oil can be a fire hazard. Dry as the label says and inspect before each wear.

Replace them when they are worn thin, torn, burned, or contaminated with oil or chemicals that won't wash out. There is no single expiry date; it depends on how often you wear them and how hard the work is. Inspect them regularly, and follow your employer's safety program.

They meet NFPA 2112 (flash fire) and NFPA 70E (arc flash) standards at CAT 2. OSHA doesn't approve products. Your employer's hazard assessment decides the required category. If your site needs CAT 3 or higher, check with your safety manager before buying.

Forge FR women's jeans are currently listed at $84.75 to $91.25. That is lower than comparable CAT 2 women's FR jeans from brands like Ariat, Lapco, and NSA, which list between about $119 and $133. Bulk and wholesale ordering is available through the website.
