ProGARM 5290 Orange Arc Polo Shirt, Class 1
The ProGARM 5290 is a high-visibility, flame resistant polo shirt built on ProGARM’s inherent VXS+ fabric, giving Class 1 arc flash protection in a garment comfortable enough to wear all day. It was developed to meet the requirements of GO/RT 3279 for workers on or near the trackside, which makes it a natural fit for railway electrification work, but it earns its place anywhere a hi-vis, arc-rated polo is the practical option.
Fabric and Protection
The VXS+ blend is an inherent fabric, so the flame resistant properties last the lifetime of the garment and do not wash out. That matters when you are laundering arc-rated clothing week in, week out. The fabric offers instant extinguishing properties against flame and arc flash hazards, is breathable with good moisture management, and is colourfast with less than 3% washing shrinkage. The SafetyICON on the arm gives a visual EN Norm icon system, so anyone checking PPE can see the rating at a glance.

Care and Use

FAQs
Is the ProGARM 5290 suitable for trackside work?
Yes. The 5290 was developed to meet GO/RT 3279 for workers on or near the trackside, in HV Orange with 5cm FR reflective tape. It also carries Class 1 arc protection, suiting railway electrification and lineside electrical work.
Do the flame resistant properties wash out?
No. The VXS+ fabric is inherent, meaning the FR properties are built into the fibres and last the lifetime of the garment. Follow the care label: no bleach, no boiling, detergents only, and store in clean, dry conditions away from strong sunlight.
