Portwest FR701 PW3 Modaflame Hi-Vis FR T-Shirt
Portwest FR701 brings a familiar crew-neck T-shirt shape to protective industrial workwear. Long sleeves and ribbed cuffs provide coverage at the arms, while the knitted fabric offers a comfortable layer for day-to-day work.
The Modaflame blend contains 60% modacrylic, 39% cotton and 1% carbon fibre. Its flame-resistant properties are inherent in the fabric, rather than relying on a surface treatment. Segmented reflective tape allows the garment to move with the wearer.
Astral Hygiene lists yellow/black and yellow/navy colour combinations in sizes S–3XL. FR701 belongs to the Portwest PW3 range; it is a crew-neck T-shirt rather than the collared FR702 polo.
The manufacturer lists separate heat, flame, electrostatic, arc and high-visibility standards. Select the shirt against the workplace risk assessment and the markings supplied with the garment, together with suitable protective trousers and other required PPE.
