The ProGARM 9910 Softshell Jacket is an arc-rated, hi-vis work jacket in inherent VXS+ fabric, rated EBT50 23 cal/cm² for arc flash protection and Class 3 high visibility. With a showerproof laminated outer, microfleece lining and sizes S to 3XL, it suits switching and maintenance work in substations and switchrooms.
ProGARM 9910 Softshell Jacket, Arc Rated 23 cal/cm²
The ProGARM 9910 is an arc-rated softshell jacket built on ProGARM’s inherent VXS+ satin weave fabric at 405 gsm, with an EBT50 arc rating of 23 cal/cm². That puts it in the bracket for MV switching and general substation work where the incident energy on your arc flash label sits at or below that figure. It also carries Class 3 high visibility, so one garment covers both the arc risk and the visibility requirement on site.
Because the VXS+ fabric is inherent, the flame resistant and arc protection is in the fibre itself. It does not wash out, and it lasts the lifetime of the garment, which matters when you are managing PPE across a whole team of authorised persons.

Applications
A practical outer layer for MV switching, substation maintenance and work around energised switchgear, particularly outdoors. Pair it with matching garments from our arc flash protection range. If you are unsure what incident energy your switchrooms present, our arc flash studies service will tell you, and the what is arc flash guide explains the basics.
Care
Wash with detergent only, never bleach or soap based products. Dirty clothing can reduce protection. Store clean, dry and out of direct strong sunlight.
FAQs
Is the ProGARM 9910 suitable for MV switching?
With an EBT50 rating of 23 cal/cm² it covers many MV switching tasks, but the garment rating must meet or exceed the incident energy on your equipment’s arc flash label. Check your arc flash study first, and contact us if you need help matching PPE to a calculated value.
Does the arc protection wash out over time?
No. The VXS+ fabric is inherent, so the protective properties are part of the fibre rather than a chemical treatment. They last the lifetime of the garment, provided the care instructions are followed and the jacket is kept clean and undamaged.
