Heavy-Duty Insulated Jacket for Blast Freezers and Cold Storage
The heavy-duty freezer jacket is manufacturer-rated to -50°F (-46°C) for demanding cold-storage work. Its navy 840-denier water-repellent Nylon Taslan shell, 11.25-ounce polyester fiberfill insulation, and 290T polyester taffeta lining help workers retain warmth in freezers, refrigerated facilities, and exposed winter operations.
A heavy-duty front zipper, snap-close storm flap, rib-knit cuffs, elastic rear waist, and faux-fur collar help limit cold-air entry. Contrast orange and reflective trim improves wearer visibility, but the manufacturer does not identify the FJ-80 as an ANSI/ISEA high-visibility garment.

OSHA Guidance for Cold Work
OSHA cold-stress guidance explains that no specific OSHA standard covers working in cold environments, but employers must address recognized serious cold hazards. Use clothing alongside training, worker monitoring, and warm, dry recovery breaks.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 addresses general PPE requirements where applicable, including hazard assessment, selection, and fit. It does not certify the FJ-80 or establish its temperature rating.
FAQ
- What temperature is the SFJ-80 freezer jacket rated for? The SFJ-80 to -50°F (-46°C). Actual warmth and suitable exposure time depend on layering, activity, moisture, wind, fit, and the worker's cold tolerance.
- Is the SFJ-80 waterproof? No waterproof rating is stated. The manufacturer describes the 840-denier Nylon Taslan shell as water-repellent, which is not the same as waterproof protection.
- Does the reflective trim make this an ANSI high-visibility jacket? No. The orange and reflective trim can improve visibility, but 2W International does not identify the SFJ-80 as compliant with ANSI/ISEA 107. Use a properly rated high-visibility garment when the hazard assessment requires one.
- Is the insulated hood included? No. The jacket has snaps for the compatible FH-40 insulated freezer hood, but the hood is optional unless the selected offer specifically states that it is included.
- How much insulation does the jacket contain? The SFJ-80 uses 11.25 ounces of polyester fiberfill insulation with a 290T polyester taffeta lining.
- Is the SFJ-80 flame-resistant or arc-rated? The verified manufacturer specifications do not identify this jacket as flame-resistant or arc-rated. Select separately certified protective apparel when flash-fire or arc-flash hazards are present.
