We created our original arc and flame-resistant neck gaiters for a company whose employees were having to deal with the shavings from creosote poles blowing into their faces while they were drilling from a bucket. We were able to provide a solution that provides protection from this debris as well as FR protection. Other trades such as oil & gas workers and welders also find our neck gaiters to be a great form of protection as well.
Made from our 6.2 oz., FR cotton jersey material, our FR neck gaiter is soft and comfortable to wear, lightweight and safe to wear against your skin. We added an asymmetrical ribbed panel to provide stretch so it will fit almost any size head. Made in the USA.
Made by Benchmark FR in the United States using 100% FR Cotton.
