Utility workers dealing with electricity face the daily risk of thermal hazards from electric arc flashes. The new Class 2 arc-rated Pyrad Technology by Gore-Tex Labs ensures workers’ safety without compromise, even in the event of accidental electric arc flash exposures. The new technology consists of a single-ply laminate lighter than any other class 2 arc rated solution, ensuring the wearer feels thermally comfortable in dry, temperate and warm conditions, indoors and outdoors. The single-ply construction offers a less bulky yet robust and highly functional design, along with increased ease of motion, making it suitable for various work situations.
