The ProGARM 5808 is an arc flash jacket in two-tone hi-vis yellow and navy, made from VXS+ 300 g/m² inherently flame-retardant fabric. Rated ELIM 9 cal/cm² (APC 1, box test Class 1, 4 kA) to EN 61482-2, with anti-static properties to EN 1149-5. For electrical, utility and industrial wearers needing a jacket and trouser combination.
ProGARM 5808 Arc Flash Jacket, Anti-Static, 9.0 cal/cm²
The ProGARM 5808 is a two-tone arc flash jacket rated ELIM 9 cal/cm² (APC 1) to EN 61482-2, built for industrial electrical, utility, power generation and petrochemical wearers who need certified arc protection in a jacket and trouser format. The hi-vis yellow and navy design improves visibility around switchrooms and site traffic, and it pairs with the matching ProGARM 5816 trouser for full body coverage.
Fabric and Protection Ratings
The jacket is made from VXS+ 300 g/m² woven inherent fabric. Inherent means the flame-retardant and arc protection is in the fibre itself, so it does not wash out over the garment’s life. Anti-static performance to EN 1149-5 reduces electrostatic charge build-up around energised equipment.

FAQs
Is the ProGARM 5808 suitable for MV switching?
It depends on your incident energy calculation. The jacket is rated ELIM 9 cal/cm² (APC 1, box test Class 1 at 4 kA), so it suits tasks where the assessed incident energy is at or below that level. Where a study shows higher values, a higher-rated switching suit is required.
Does the arc protection wash out over time?
No. The VXS+ fabric is inherently flame retardant, meaning the protective properties are part of the fibre rather than a surface treatment, so they last the lifetime of the garment. Follow the care label to keep the garment serviceable.
