ProGARM 5790 ARC Fleece Jacket, Anti-Static

ProGARM 5790 ARC Fleece Jacket, Anti-Static

The ProGARM 5790 is an anti-static ARC fleece jacket built from inherent VXS+ 300g/m2 fleece fabric, certified to IEC 61482-2 Class 1 for arc flash protection. It is designed to be worn with the ProGARM 5808 or 5850 jacket as an extra layer for winter warmth, or with any other ProGARM garments for additional flame resistant and arc flash protection. For authorised persons and switching staff working through an Irish winter, that layering matters: cold yards and draughty switchrooms are exactly where bulky non-rated fleeces creep in under arc-rated outerwear, and that is a genuine hazard.

Inherent VXS+ Fabric and Certification

The VXS+ fleece is an inherent fabric, so the flame resistant properties last the lifetime of the garment and do not wash out. It is colourfast with less than 3% washing shrinkage, breathable, and soft to wear. Anti-static performance to EN 1149-5 (charge decay) reduces static build-up around energised equipment.

Features for Switchroom and Site Work

• Mandarin collar for maximum neck protection
• ThermSAFE plastic FR zipper, CE certified
• Two zipped front pockets plus an internal pocket with velcro tab
• Drawcord waist adjustment with toggles and elasticated cuffs for a close fit
• Extended back for protection when bending over
• SafetyICON on the arm, a visual EN norm icon system for quick checks

The close cuff and waist fit is not just comfort. It stops the fleece riding up or gaping under an outer switching jacket, keeping the arc-rated layer where it should be. For more on how arc-rated layers work together, see our guide to what arc flash is and the wider arc flash protection range.

FAQs

Can the ProGARM 5790 be worn on its own?

Yes. It carries its own IEC 61482-2 Class 1 arc rating and EN ISO 11612 flame resistance, so it can be worn alone or layered under the ProGARM 5808 or 5850 jacket for additional protection and winter warmth. Always match the garment system to the incident energy on your arc flash label.

Do the FR properties wash out over time?

No. The VXS+ fleece is an inherent fabric, meaning the flame resistant properties are built into the fibre and last the lifetime of the garment. ProGARM also states the fabric is colourfast with less than 3% washing shrinkage, so it holds its fit through repeated laundering.
