Fireball Workwear: Supplying You High-Quality FR Clothing

The brave men and women who power America's critical infrastructure deserve the best possible protection. 

That’s why at Fireball Workwear, we are thrilled to launch our premium flame-resistant (FR) workwear range specifically designed for the demanding environments faced by workers through the likes of the oil, gas, electrical, pipeline, fracking, and utility industries.

We offer a carefully selected range of high-performance FR hoodies, vests, shirts, and more. Our clothing is made with advanced flame-resistant technology, focusing on both safety and comfort. Our gear provides top protection against flash fires, electrical arcs, and intense heat while allowing you to move freely.

Why Choose Fireball Workwear?

Premium Materials for Maximum Protection and Comfort

Premium FR Interlock

Many of our garments are made with FR Interlock, a material designed to handle extreme heat. Interlock knits are created by weaving two yarns together, forming a barrier between your skin and high temperatures. This reduces the risk of burns and injuries. FR Interlock is built to withstand intense heat, keeping your protective gear intact in hazardous environments.

High-Performance Fleece

Fleece offers a perfect blend of flame resistance and thermal insulation. The manufacturing process involves creating a fabric with a soft, plush texture by knitting or weaving the fibers and then brushing them to raise the fibers and create a fluffy surface. This fabric excels at keeping you warm without adding bulk. Whether you're working in chilly weather or high-risk environments, our fleece-based products provide warmth and protection while maintaining comfort and flexibility.

Comfort-Driven Cotton and Spandex Blends

Cotton and spandex blends offer comfort and protection. The soft cotton feels great on your skin, and the spandex adds flexibility and stretch. This ensures a comfortable fit that moves with you, making our workwear perfect for long hours. The flame-resistant properties stay strong, providing ongoing protection without sacrificing comfort or mobility.

Maxisoft® Workwear Technology

The use of Maxisoft® ensures that our clothing is incredibly soft and non-itchy. This advanced fabric transmits moisture, reduces skin irritation and keeps you comfortable throughout your workday. Unlike traditional workwear materials that can be rough, Maxisoft® allows you to focus on your tasks without distraction.

Tagless Labels

Much of our workwear features Tagless Labels, which eliminate the annoyance of scratchy tags. Clothing tags can be a constant source of discomfort, but our tagless design ensures that there are no tags to irritate your neck or back. 

Compliance with Safety Standards

ANSI 107-2010 and 2015 Compliance

Our vests and hoodies are designed to meet the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) 107-2010 and 2015 Class 2 & 3 standards. This means they provide exceptional visibility and flame resistance. ANSI standards require enhanced safety in low-light and high-traffic conditions, making our workwear ideal for professionals in construction, road maintenance, and other high-risk industries. Testing reports for our products such as this ANSI107 Interlock Certificate for our Henley FR Hi-Vis Yellow Black Bottom Class 3 Shirt, can be supplied on request.  

NFPA 70E Compliance

We ensure your safety with workwear that complies with the U.S. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 70E standard. This standard sets requirements for electrical safety in the workplace, ensuring that our gear provides reliable protection against arc flash hazards. Wearing NFPA 70E compliant workwear significantly reduces the risk of burns and other injuries associated with electrical arcs. Testing reports such as the NFPA Certificate of Compliance for our Henley Grey Cotton Shirt, can be supplied on request. 

ASTM Standards (1506 and 1959)

Our workwear meets ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards 1506 and 1959. ASTM 1506 specifies performance requirements for flame-resistant fabrics, while ASTM 1959 outlines the test methods for determining the arc rating of materials. These standards ensure that our clothing offers comprehensive protection against thermal hazards, maintaining its protective properties even in the most demanding work environments. Testing reports can be supplied upon request. This is our ASTM Report for the Henley Sky Blue Cotton Shirt from our collection. 

Arc Rated Protection

Our workwear provides arc ratings up to CAT 2 (Category 2) and ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value) up to 22 cal/cm². These high ratings indicate the level of protection our clothing provides against electrical arc hazards before the material reaches temperatures that could cause burns. 

Think of it like this: if you’re hit by an arc flash, our clothing acts like a high-tech shield. It’s designed to absorb and block a lot of the heat and energy, helping to prevent serious burns and injuries.

Testing reports can be supplied upon request. An example of one is the ATPV Report for the Henley Navy Cotton Shirt from our collection. 

Enhanced Visibility

High-Visibility Gear

Our high-visibility workwear is designed to ensure you are seen in both day and low-light conditions. Whether you’re working in bright daylight or dimly lit environments, our gear enhances your visibility, making sure you stay safe and noticeable. This feature is crucial for workers in construction, road maintenance, and other high-risk areas where being seen can prevent accidents. Check out our Hi-Vis range here.

Certified for Long-Term Use

Certified FR Clothing

The garments we carry are rigorously certified and tested to meet the highest standards for flame resistance. This certification ensures that our clothing maintains its flame-resistant properties throughout its entire lifespan. Even after extended use, exposure to electrical currents and flames up to 350F for up to 5 minutes and numerous washes, we are confident in the  safety of our gear. You can also be confident that your workwear delivers consistent, long-term safety and performance.

Functional Design

Room for Hard Hats

Our hoodies are designed with ample room to comfortably wear a hard hat. The extra space provides both protection and ease of use, making it easier to comply with safety regulations while staying comfortable. Check out our Hi-Vis range here.

Preshrunk Fabric

To maintain a perfect fit and comfort, workwear from our collection are preshrunk for a lasting fit. This prevents the clothing from shrinking after washing, ensuring that your gear continues to fit well and provide comfort over time. Preshrunk fabric means you don’t have to worry about your workwear becoming too tight or losing its shape.

Practical Features

Versatile Pockets and Closures

Our clothing is equipped with multiple pockets and various closures for added convenience. Features include:

  • Dual Pockets: For easy storage of essential items.
  • Chest Pockets with Zippers: To securely keep valuable tools or personal items.
  • Pen Pockets: For handy access to pens and markers.
