Description

Arc Flash Protection You Can Rely On in High-Risk Environments

When you’re working in arc flash zones, comfort and protection can’t be compromised. The ArcTech Merino ARC-BALACLAVA2-AT is built to deliver dependable HRC2 arc-rated protection (8.1 cal/cm²), helping electricians and contractors stay safer while maintaining mobility and focus on the job.

Designed as part of a full PPE system, this balaclava provides next-to-skin protection against arc flash hazards, radiant heat, flame exposure, and metal splash risks. Its lightweight construction makes it suitable for long shifts and hot Australian conditions, so you can stay productive without overheating or discomfort slowing you down.

Certified Compliance and Sustainable FR Performance

This arc flash balaclava is engineered for compliance and confidence on regulated worksites. Meeting NFPA 70E HRC2 standards with an arc rating of 8.1 cal/cm² and ISO 15025 A flame resistance, it helps ensure you’re aligned with critical safety requirements on commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects.

Made from XP Merino fabric (50% Merino Wool and 50% Lenzing FR), it combines natural fibre comfort with engineered flame resistance. The blend offers anti-static properties, UV protection, and odour resistance—ideal for long shifts and repeated wear.

With fabric manufactured in Australia and garments made in New Zealand, it also supports environmentally conscious sourcing using renewable wood-based cellulose materials, giving you performance PPE with reduced environmental impact.

Designed for Trade Efficiency, Comfort, and Helmet Compatibility

Built for real site conditions, this balaclava is made to improve day-to-day efficiency for electricians and maintenance professionals. The soft merino blend sits comfortably against the skin, while flat-seam stitching reduces irritation when worn under hard hats or safety helmets.

Its olive green design and lightweight profile make it easy to integrate into your existing PPE setup without bulk or restriction. Whether you’re on commercial fit-outs, shutdown maintenance, or industrial installations, it’s engineered for all-day wear without distraction.

For contractors managing multiple job sites, it’s a practical PPE choice that supports fast compliance, reliable protection, and consistent comfort across demanding work environments.
