Flarex Ripstop PPE1 FR Inherent 155gsm Lightweight Taped Shirt

Product Overview

The Flarex Ripstop PPE1 FR Inherent 155gsm Lightweight Taped Shirt brings WORKIT's ripstop fabric technology to the entry-level PPE1 tier — a lightweight, tear-resistant FR shirt rated ATPV 6.7 cal/cm².

What We Like About This Shirt

The ripstop weave (50% Modacrylic, 32% Cotton, 9% Polyamide, 8% Polyarylate, 1% Anti-Static) is a different fabric system entirely from the standard Flarex range — genuinely built for durability in tear-prone environments, not just relabelled standard fabric.
