Icon Legend and Product Features: Icons throughout the catalog indicate new products, HRC protection levels, and certifications. Detailed descriptions of garments, including shirts, pants, bib overalls, coveralls, outerwear, and accessories, are provided with specific arc ratings and protection levels.
Safety Standards and Compliance: The document discusses OSHA® and NESC® regulations, stressing the necessity of flame-resistant clothing in environments with potential electric arc exposure. It specifies required arc ratings for different exposure levels and prohibits certain meltable fabrics.
Additional Information: Sections on sizing, size charts, and additional product information are included. The Bulwark® app is introduced for easy access to product information and distributor locations.
Product Overview: Detailed information on various flame-resistant clothing items is provided, including turtlenecks, henleys, t-shirts, polos, base layers, pants, overalls, coveralls, outerwear, and accessories. Each product is described with its features, available colors, and protection ratings.
Specifications: Each clothing item is associated with an Arc Rating (ATPV or EBT) measured in calories/cm², indicating protection levels against electrical arcs. Compliance with standards such as NFPA 2112, EN ISO 11612:2008, and IEC 61482-2:2009 is referenced.
Product Features: Key features include tagless labels, rib knit collars and cuffs, various fits for jeans, reinforced seams, and flame-resistant materials. Items like parkas and bomber jackets include additional features such as storm cuffs, snow belts, and reflective trims.
Protection Levels: Products are categorized by Hazard Risk Category (HRC) levels, ranging from HRC 1 to HRC 4, indicating the degree of protection provided. Higher HRC levels correspond to higher protection ratings.
Material Composition: Clothing items are made from various flame-resistant materials, including cotton/nylon blends, modacrylic, lyocell, polyamide-imide, and para-aramid, ensuring durability and safety.
Availability: Many products are available in multiple colors and styles, catering to both men and women. New product offerings and variations are highlighted.

Size and Fit: Comprehensive size charts for both men and women are included, detailing measurements for chest, waist, hips, and other body parts. The importance of referring to size charts for a correct fit is emphasized, noting that Bulwark garments have a slightly oversized fit for comfort and protection.
