FR Bib Pants – 10 oz Polyurethane-Coated Flame-Resistant Cotton Shell
When your job requires both visibility and flame-resistance under severe conditions, the FR Bib Pants deliver reliable protection with full utility. With a 10 oz polyurethane-coated flame-resistant cotton shell and heat-sealed seams, these bib pants are engineered for harsh environments encountered by electrical utility crews, gas companies, and pipeline servicing teams. Certified to ASTM F1891 and ASTM F2733 standards, these pants provide multi-purpose protection from electric arc and flash fire hazards — while remaining comfortable enough for heavy-duty field use.
Why Choose These FR Bib Pants?
For professionals facing the dual challenge of weather exposure and flame risk, the I7215BT bib pants offer a balanced solution. The FR cotton shell resists ignition and helps protect from arc/flash hazards, while the PU coating adds wind and water resistance — making it ideal for storm crews, utility line workers, and gas-field crews who need one garment to do more. The bib style covers the upper legs and waist for added protection, and the durable construction stands up to daily outdoor abuse without compromising mobility. Please note this ships from the manufacturer, and there is a 5-day lead time.

FAQ
1. Are these bib pants suitable for electrical arc work?
Yes. These pants meet ASTM F1891, which covers arc-flash and flash-fire hazards, making them appropriate for electrical utility and maintenance operations.
2. Do they work in rainy or windy conditions?
Yes. The PU-coated shell and heat-sealed seams offer wind and water resistance, making them suitable for outdoor tasks in challenging weather conditions.
3. What is the difference between these and non-bib flame-resistant pants?
Bib pants provide extra coverage (suspenders and upper waist) which helps when using full-body PPE systems or when torso coverage is needed. They also help keep the garment in place during movement and over other layers.
4. Are these pants compatible with other PPE?
Yes. They are designed to pair with arc-rated jackets, hard hats, gloves, boots, and fall-protection gear. The high-visibility trims enhance your overall PPE ensemble.
5. How should I care for these pants to maintain protection?
Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents that can degrade flame-resistant treatments. Inspect regularly for wear and replace if damaged.
