Blaklader 2013 FR 12oz Heavy Weight Balaclava - Navy

Blaklader 2013 FR Balaclava

The Blaklader 2013 FR Balaclava delivers heavy-weight thermal insulation and certified flame resistance for trade professionals working in sub-zero conditions and high-hazard thermal environments. Designed for utility workers, linemen, oil & gas technicians, and industrial welders, this versatile FR head layer shields your head, face, and neck from arc flash, flash fires, and freezing winds.

Crafted from a heavy-duty 12 oz inherent FR fabric blend, it offers exceptional warmth, natural stretch, and permanent flame resistance that won't wash or wear out over time.

Key Features & Benefits

• CAT 2 Arc Flash & Flash Fire Certified: Rated ATPV 17 cal/cm² CAT 2 and certified to NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506, and CSA Z462 standards.

• Versatile Convertible Design: Multi-functional design easily adapts from a full-face hood mask down to a neck gaiter depending on temperature and site needs.

• Heavy-Weight 12 oz Fabric: Constructed from a dense 12 oz blend (44% Lyocell, 39% Modacrylic, 14% Aramid, 3% Elastane) built for extreme cold defense.

• Inherent FR Comfort Blend: Soft, non-irritating hand-feel with built-in elastane stretch provides all-day comfort without forehead or neck chafing.

• Seamless Under-Helmet Fit: Fits comfortably underneath hard hats, welding helmets, and protective hoods without awkward bunching or pressure points.

Why Choose the Blaklader 2013 FR Balaclava?

Standard winter face masks offer no thermal hazard defense, and cheap FR hoods can feel scratchy or stiff, but the Blaklader 2013 balances protection and softness:

• Permanent Flame Resistance: Inherent FR fibers ensure safety properties remain 100% effective after endless machine washings.

• Comfortable Non-Itch Interior: High Lyocell content delivers a smooth, plush feel against facial skin during long shifts.

• Full Neck & Upper Chest Coverage: Extended lower skirt seals cold drafts out when tucked inside heavy FR jacket collars.

Built for Electrical & Industrial Cold-Weather Work

Trusted by electrical utility crews, pipeline operators, refinery technicians, and industrial welders facing severe winter conditions.
