FR Shirts Engineered for Women's Fit and Proportions
NFPA 2112 Certified FR Women's Shirts — CAT 1 and CAT 2
The daily-wear top is where fit is felt first. This collection gives women in oil and gas, electric utility, and general industry NFPA 2112 certified FR shirts across CAT 1 and CAT 2 — princess-seam wovens through stretch knits — built from women's patterns and selected against the site's hazard assessment.

True Feminine Fit — Not Resized Men's FR Shirts
Bulwark FR Women's Shirts use princess seams on woven styles and stretch Flex Knit construction on knit styles to create garments shaped for women's bodies — not scaled-down men's patterns. Contoured waistbands, feminine collar treatments, and proportioned sleeve lengths are engineered details that improve fit and comfort for women who wear FR PPE all day. Sizing runs across an inclusive women's range.
iQ Series, Flex Knit, Dress & Hi-Vis Styles for Women
Bulwark FR Women's Shirts span multiple style categories: the iQ Series comfort woven shirt for daily field wear; the Flex Knit stretch FR shirt for stretch and mobility; the women's dress shirt for office-adjacent roles; and women's FR hi-vis shirts with ANSI/ISEA 107 compliance for visibility environments. Each style's ATPV and arc-flash category are shown on its product page.

What arc rating do Bulwark FR Women's shirts carry? +
Women's FR shirts in this collection run CAT 1 and CAT 2 (minimum arc ratings of 4 and 8 cal/cm²). Match each style's product-page ATPV to the role's risk assessment — hi-vis styles list their ANSI/ISEA 107 class alongside the arc rating.
Are Bulwark FR Women's shirts NFPA 2112 certified? +
Yes. Bulwark FR Women's shirts in this collection are certified to NFPA 2112 for flash-fire protection. Inherent Nomex® and modacrylic/lyocell fabrics build flame resistance into the fiber so it does not wash out when laundered per manufacturer care instructions.
How do Bulwark FR Women's shirts fit differently from men's FR shirts? +
Bulwark FR Women's shirts use princess seams on woven styles to shape the garment for a feminine torso, contoured waistbands, and proportioned sleeve lengths. Flex Knit styles use stretch FR knit fabric for a form-fitting cut. These are purpose-engineered women's patterns — not scaled-down men's garments — providing better fit and all-day comfort.
What styles of Bulwark FR Women's shirts are available? +
Styles include the iQ Series comfort woven shirt, Flex Knit stretch FR shirt, women's dress shirt, FR polo, and FR hi-vis shirt. All are NFPA 2112 certified and arc-rated. Browse by arc rating: CAT 1 styles include iQ and Flex Knit; CAT 2 styles include dress shirts and hi-vis.
Can women's FR shirts be industrially laundered? +
Yes. Bulwark FR Women's shirts are designed for industrial laundering. Flame resistance is built into inherent fibers and does not launder out — validated by NFPA 2112 testing through repeated wash-and-dry cycles.
Are women's FR hi-vis shirts available? +
Yes. Bulwark FR Women's hi-vis shirts carry ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 2 and Class 3 visibility compliance alongside NFPA 2112 certification and CAT 2 arc ratings, allowing women in dual-hazard visibility and arc-flash environments to use a single compliant garment.
Can short-sleeved FR shirts be worn as single-layer protection? +
No. Short-sleeved styles worn alone leave the arms exposed, which falls short of NFPA 70E's principle of covering potentially exposed areas as completely as possible. The employer's PPE program determines where short sleeves are permitted and which arc-rated layers pair with them.
