Certified Arc-Rated, Flame-Resistant, Waterproof Protection for High-Risk, High-Visibility Work Environments
The PIP® AR/FR ANSI Type R Class 3 All-Purpose 48" Raincoat (355-2505AR) delivers maximum visibility, certified flame resistance, and dependable waterproof protection for extreme industrial environments. Built for workers exposed to arc flash, incidental flame, electrical hazards, and severe weather, this raincoat blends rugged performance with breathable comfort. It is designed to keep crews safe, dry, compliant, and visible during demanding operations where both FR protection and high-visibility Class 3 compliance are mandatory.
From electrical utilities and petrochemical plants to mining, renewable energy, telecom, and emergency services, this raincoat provides full-length coverage engineered for real-world industrial conditions.
Why Choose the PIP® 355-2505AR Raincoat?
Choosing the right FR rainwear is critical in environments where electrical arcs, flash fire exposure, chemical operations, or high-voltage tasks coincide with severe weather. This raincoat addresses those layered risks with a compliance-driven design built around proven arc-flash data and flame-resistant materials that maintain integrity in wet conditions.
Workers benefit from high visibility, extended 48" coverage, and a waterproof/breathable shell that prevents overheating while shielding against rain, wind, and electrical hazards. For safety managers, this jacket simplifies PPE standardization by meeting multiple regulatory requirements in one garment—meaning easier compliance and fewer SKUs to manage.
Its durability, storm-flap construction, and reinforced closures make it dependable for year-round fieldwork across diverse industrial sectors.

FAQ
Is this raincoat suitable for arc flash protection?
Yes. With an ATPV rating of 14 cal/cm² and compliance with NFPA 70E and ASTM F1959, this raincoat provides legitimate arc-rated protection for energized work and electrical maintenance tasks.
Does the raincoat maintain flame resistance when wet?
It does. The FR polyurethane-coated shell and FR closures are engineered to retain flame-resistant properties even in high-moisture conditions, unlike standard rain gear that can melt or ignite.
Is this jacket comfortable for long shifts?
Yes. The cotton-jersey inner layer and breathable waterproof membrane prevent heat buildup, making it comfortable for extended wear in wet or variable weather.
Can this be worn with other PPE?
Absolutely. Its streamlined design works well over FR base layers, tool belts, harnesses, radios, and insulated clothing, making it suitable for multi-layer PPE systems.
Does it meet high-visibility requirements for night work?
Yes. The raincoat is ANSI Type R Class 3—the highest visibility category, ensuring workers remain visible in low light, storms, fog, and night operations.
