Fristads GORE-TEX Flamestat Hi-Vis Trousers 2095 GXE, Class 2, 49.1 cal/cm²

The Fristads Flamestat 2095 GXE is a 2-layer GORE-TEX hi-vis trouser built for outdoor electrical work in Irish weather. It carries an arc rating to EN 61482-1-2 class 2 (box test) with an open-arc result of EBT 49.1 cal/cm² and HAF 94.8% to EN 61482-1-1, so it suits switching and maintenance tasks where the incident energy assessment calls for serious arc protection rather than basic flame resistance. If you are unsure what those ratings mean, our guide to what arc flash is explains the hazard and how PPE is selected.

Protection and Standards

Beyond the arc rating, the trousers are certified to EN ISO 11612 (A1 A2 B2 C1 D3 E1 F1) for heat and flame, EN ISO 11611 class 2 for welding, EN 1149-5 for electrostatic dissipation, EN 13034 type PB [6] for limited chemical splash, EN ISO 20471 class 2 for high visibility, and EN 343 class 3/3 for rain protection. One garment covers utility crews, contractors and site engineers working outdoors near energised equipment. See our full range of arc flash protection for matching jackets and switching suits.

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for MV switching work?

They are arc rated to EN 61482-1-2 class 2 with an EBT of 49.1 cal/cm², which covers many switching tasks. Your arc flash study or site risk assessment sets the required rating, so check the incident energy on your equipment label before specifying PPE.

Are they genuinely waterproof for outdoor substation work?

Yes. They are certified to EN 343 class 3/3, the highest level for rain protection and breathability in that standard, with a water column above 10,000 mm and a breathable ePTFE membrane.
