Product Overview
The Bizflame Work FR Insulated Jacket is a high-specification garment engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the offshore industry and other hazardous environments. Designed for professionals who require both flame-resistant protection and thermal insulation, this jacket provides a robust barrier against cold and fire risks without compromising on wearer comfort.
This heavyweight winter jacket utilizes the proven Bizflame outer fabric, which is paired with extra-thick wadding and a flame-resistant cotton lining. This combination ensures that the wearer remains warm in extreme conditions while maintaining full compliance with essential safety standards, including those for welding. Its substantial construction and functional design make it a reliable choice for those working in the most challenging sectors.
Key Features
- Triple Stitched Seams: This heavy-duty construction method ensures the garment can withstand the physical stresses of manual labor, significantly extending its service life.
- High-Visibility Reflective Tape: Double-stitched for extra security, these strips on the shoulders, arms, and body ensure you remain visible in low-light conditions, which is critical for site safety.
- Concealed Two-Way Brass Zip: The use of brass provides a spark-resistant closure, while the two-way function allows for greater freedom of movement and easier access to inner layers.
- Detachable Hood: Featuring a secure brass zip attachment, the hood can be removed when not required, offering versatility across changing weather conditions.
- Inner Waist Adjustment: This allows the wearer to achieve a snug, tailored fit, preventing heat loss and ensuring the jacket does not catch on machinery.
Design & Performance
The Bizflame Work fabric is a sophisticated blend of 99% cotton and 1% carbon fibre. The inclusion of carbon fibre provides essential anti-static properties, while the high cotton content ensures the fabric remains breathable and comfortable against the skin. The heavyweight shell is specifically treated to offer flame resistance that lasts for the life of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.
Performance is further enhanced by the internal wadding. This medium-weight flame-resistant filling provides excellent thermal retention, which is crucial for offshore work where temperatures can drop rapidly. The inner lining is crafted from flame-resistant cotton, ensuring that every layer of the garment contributes to the overall safety profile of the wearer.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This insulated jacket is suitable for both print and embroidery customisation, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a refined and durable finish, ideal for company logos or staff names that need to withstand industrial laundering. The thread used is selected to maintain the professional appearance of the garment over time.
For larger, high-impact branding, our printing services offer a bold alternative. Our expert team in Telford, which has been providing customisation since 1976, uses techniques compatible with technical fabrics to ensure your branding remains clear and vibrant. Whether you require a single-colour logo or a complex design, we ensure the application does not compromise the garment's protective properties.
Use Cases
This jacket is primarily designed for the offshore oil and gas industry, where flame resistance and thermal protection are mandatory. It is also highly suitable for welding and allied processes, thanks to its compliance with welding standards. Maintenance engineers, site supervisors, and technical staff working in cold, hazardous environments will find this garment provides the necessary protection and warmth required for long shifts.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the jacket. The internal waist adjustment allows for some flexibility, but for those wearing heavy sweatshirts or multiple base layers, we recommend checking the sizing carefully to ensure full mobility. The detachable hood is particularly useful when switching between site work and vehicle-based tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance flame-resistant properties and the structural integrity of this jacket, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. Failure to do so may degrade the protective finishes and shorten the lifespan of the garment.
We recommend a mild domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using higher temperatures or aggressive cycles can cause premature wear to the fabric fibres and may affect the reflective tape's luminosity. Avoid the use of bleach, as chlorine-based products will chemically damage the flame-resistant treatment, rendering the jacket unsafe for hazardous environments.
The jacket should be line dried rather than tumble dried. Tumble drying can lead to excessive shrinkage, particularly given the high cotton content, and can stress the internal wadding. If ironing is required, use a maximum temperature of 150°C to avoid damaging the polyester filling or the reflective elements. Do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the technical properties of the Bizflame fabric.
