Product Overview
The FR Anti-Static Winter Salopettes are a technical solution designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the offshore industry and hazardous winter environments. Engineered to provide comprehensive protection, this bib and brace garment is constructed from high-quality Bizflame Work fabric, offering multi-norm safety standards including essential welding protection. By combining a flame-resistant outer shell with a dedicated thermal lining and insulation, these salopettes ensure the wearer remains warm and protected without compromising on safety or mobility.
Key Features
- Triple Stitched Seams: This construction method provides exceptional reinforcement at stress points, ensuring the garment maintains its structural integrity throughout demanding shifts.
- High Visibility Strips: Strategically placed on the legs, these reflective bands enhance wearer visibility in low-light conditions, a critical safety requirement for industrial environments.
- Concealed Front Brass Zip: The use of brass provides a robust fastening solution that is spark-resistant and durable enough for heavy industrial use.
- Side Leg Zips: These allow for significantly easier donning and doffing, providing ample room to pull the salopettes over large, protective work boots.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the FR58 design. The outer fabric is a sophisticated blend of 99% cotton and 1% carbon fibre, which provides natural comfort alongside permanent anti-static properties. For thermal performance, the interior features a 100% cotton flame-resistant lining and a flame-resistant polyester filling. This combination creates a substantial barrier against the cold while ensuring the entire garment meets stringent safety requirements for heat and flame exposure. The fabric is a heavyweight material, providing the durability needed for offshore work while remaining breathable enough for active tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a cohesive and professional appearance, these salopettes can be fully customised by our expert team in Telford. Embroidery is a superior choice for corporate logos and staff names, offering a durable, high-quality finish that withstands the industrial laundering process. For larger, more complex branding or safety identification on the back or chest, high-performance print is also available, providing bold visibility that remains sharp even in harsh conditions. Having been established in 1976, we have the technical expertise to ensure your branding is applied without compromising the flame-resistant properties of the fabric.
Use Cases
These salopettes are primarily designed for personnel working in the offshore oil and gas sectors, where flame resistance and anti-static properties are mandatory. They are equally suited for professional welders working in unheated environments or any industrial setting that requires multi-norm protection during the winter months.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you will be wearing beneath the salopettes. As these are designed for winter use, they have a generous fit to accommodate thermal base layers. The side leg zips are particularly useful; ensure they are fully zipped down before starting work to prevent any catch hazards.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-specification safety features of these salopettes, it is vital to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a very mild process. Exceeding this temperature can degrade the flame-resistant treatments and the structural integrity of the carbon fibres.
Bleaching must be avoided at all costs, as the chemicals will destroy the flame-resistant properties of the cotton lining and outer shell, rendering the garment unsafe for use in hazardous environments.
Do not tumble dry these salopettes; instead, they should be line dried. Mechanical drying can cause excessive shrinkage and wear on the high-visibility strips. If ironing is required, use a maximum temperature of 150°C to avoid damaging the synthetic filling.
Please note that this garment has a maximum service life of 50 washes. Beyond this point, the certified protection levels can no longer be guaranteed, and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued safety compliance.
