Double Layer Beanie HRC2 8.1cal – ArcTech Merino ARC-BEANIE-DL-AT

Description

Arc Flash Protection with Everyday Comfort

The ArcTech Merino Double Layer Beanie HRC2 8.1 cal is designed to provide FR head protection for electrical workers operating in environments where arc flash hazards may be present. Combining protective performance with the natural comfort of Merino wool, this double-layer beanie is suitable for wearing underneath a safety helmet.

Constructed from XP Merino Inherent fabric, the beanie uses a 50% Merino Wool and 50% Lenzing FR blend. The inherent fabric construction provides flame-resistant properties while maintaining a soft feel against the skin. The material also offers naturally anti-static, UV-protective and odour-reducing properties.

Designed for Under-Helmet Wear

Comfort is particularly important when protective headwear needs to be worn throughout a working day. Flat-seam stitching on the inside helps minimise irritation and provides a smoother fit underneath a safety helmet.

The double-layer construction provides an additional layer of protection while the soft fabric is designed for comfortable next-to-body wear. Its olive green finish provides a practical appearance suitable for professional electrical and maintenance environments. The beanie is designed to fit beneath a safety helmet without unnecessarily compromising comfort, making it a practical addition to a broader arc flash PPE system.

Inherent Fabric for Professional Applications

The XP Merino fabric combines Merino wool with Lenzing FR, a wood-based cellulose fibre sourced from renewable and sustainable resources. This provides a protective textile solution that is also designed with material sustainability in mind.

The fabric is manufactured in Australia, while the garment is made in New Zealand. The beanie is rated to NFPA 70E HRC2 at 8.1 cal/cm² and is tested to ISO 15025 A for flame spread and surface ignition.
