This isn’t just another FR shirt – it’s a carefully designed safety garment that keeps workers protected, comfortable, and productive throughout their shifts.
Advanced Westex® DH AIR Fabric Technology
At the core of this deluxe FR work shirt is the proprietary Westex® DH AIR fabric blend, consisting of:

The Portwest IDHP650 flame resistant shirt meets and exceeds multiple industry safety standards, providing comprehensive protection for electrical workers, utilities professionals, and industrial personnel:
