Essential Arc Flash Neck Protection

The neck is often one of the most exposed areas when working around electrical hazards and industrial heat sources. The Portwest FR19 helps address this vulnerability by providing arc-rated flame-resistant protection in a lightweight and highly wearable design.

Unlike standard neck warmers or buffs, the FR19 is specifically engineered for hazardous work environments where flame, heat, static discharge and arc flash protection may be required.

Built for Cold Weather Work

Outdoor crews regularly face cold mornings, winter shutdown schedules and remote work environments. The FR19 combines thermal comfort with certified protection, helping workers stay warm without compromising workplace safety requirements.

The high cotton content delivers outstanding comfort against the skin while the dual-layer construction helps retain warmth during colder conditions.
