Why the Portwest IUS525 is the #1 Choice for Cold-Weather FR Protection
1. Guaranteed Flame Resistance for Life of the Garment
Made with Westex UltraSoft® (88% FR cotton / 12% high-tenacity nylon), the IUS525 carries an Arc Rating of ATPV 41 cal/cm² (HRC/Cat 4) and meets or exceeds the toughest industry standards:
- NFPA 2112 (Flash Fire)
- NFPA 70E (Electric Arc)
- ASTM F1506
- CGSB 155.20
- CSA Z462
Unlike many FR garments that lose protection after repeated laundering, UltraSoft is engineered to remain flame resistant for the entire life of the garment — guaranteed by Westex.
2. 50% Longer Wear Life than 100% Cotton FR
The 12% nylon content gives the fabric exceptional abrasion resistance, delivering up to 50% longer wear life than traditional 100% cotton FR garments. That translates directly into lower replacement costs for safety managers.
3. Built for Extreme Cold – 14 oz Quilted Insulation + Wind/Vapor Barrier
The IUS525 features a heavy 14 oz quilted FR insulation package with a built-in wind and vapor barrier. Workers stay warm and dry even in sub-zero conditions while maintaining breathability.
4. ANSI 107 Class E High Visibility
Bright safety orange with 2” silver reflective tape ensures you’re seen day or night — critical on roadsides, refineries, and construction sites.
5. Worker-Friendly Design Features
- Two-way breakaway brass zipper for quick donning/removal
- Flame-resistant fleece-lined hand warmer pockets
- Elasticized shoulder straps with adjustable buckles
- Reinforced knees and multiple utility pockets
- Side leg zippers for easy boot access
