What does CAT 2 and NFPA 2112 mean?

NFPA 2112 covers flash-fire protection and CAT 2 is the arc-rated category under NFPA 70E. This shirt carries both labels, so it qualifies as FR base-layer protection for industrial work.

Does it run true to size?

It is a loose fit, and owners report it fits as expected. If you want a closer fit under a jacket, consider sizing down.

Can I wear it as a standalone shirt?

Yes. The midweight knit works on its own in mild weather and as a base layer under FR outerwear in cold or high-risk settings.

How should I wash it?

Follow the care label and avoid fabric softener or bleach, which can degrade FR performance. Wash separately from oily rags and check the garment for wear.

Is the black really black?

Some buyers say the black looks closer to a very dark navy. Keep that in mind if you need a true black for uniform matching.

What is the chest pocket for?

It is a left-chest pocket carrying the Carhartt FR and NFPA 2112 / CAT 2 labels, so the certification stays visible on the garment.
