Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit FR Full Zip Sweatshirt represents a sophisticated fusion of safety engineering and daily comfort. Designed specifically for professionals working in environments where heat and flame hazards are a constant consideration, this sweatshirt utilizes Modaflame technology to provide high-level protection. Unlike garments treated with chemical finishes, this sweatshirt is crafted from inherently flame-resistant fibres, ensuring that the protective qualities are built into the fabric itself and will not diminish over time or through repeated laundering.
Key Features
- Inherent Flame Resistance: The protective properties are permanent, meaning the garment provides reliable safety for its entire lifespan without the risk of protection washing out.
- Electric Arc Protection: This sweatshirt is engineered to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, making it a vital layer for those working around electrical installations.
- Integrated Pouch Pockets: Two front pouch pockets offer convenient storage for tools or personal items, while also serving as effective hand warmers during colder shifts.
- Full Zip Closure: The robust front zip allows for easy removal and effective temperature regulation, making it a versatile piece for changing work conditions.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Modaflame Knit lies in its technical fabric construction. This substantial knit material provides the familiar comfort of a traditional sweatshirt while maintaining rigorous safety standards. The inherent nature of the FR81 fibres ensures the garment remains soft and breathable, reducing the risk of heat stress during intensive tasks. The navy colourway provides a professional appearance that effectively hides the minor scuffs and marks inevitable in industrial environments, while the ribbed cuffs and hem ensure a secure fit that stays in place throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a professional corporate identity, this sweatshirt is highly compatible with both print and embroidery. Embroidery is particularly recommended for company logos and staff names, as it creates a permanent, high-quality finish that complements the durable nature of the knit. If you require large, high-visibility branding on the back, our specialist printing techniques provide a vibrant finish that remains flexible with the garment's movement.
Our in-house team at MyWorkwear has been refining these customisation processes since 1976. Operating from our facility in Telford, we ensure every logo is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance your business demands while respecting the technical integrity of the protective fabric.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically engineered for professionals in the electrical utility, oil and gas, and petrochemical industries. It is equally suited for maintenance engineers and contractors who require a versatile layer that meets safety requirements for electric arc and flame exposure without sacrificing the comfort of casual workwear.

Practical Advice
This sweatshirt is designed with a regular fit, allowing enough room for a base layer underneath during winter months. For the best balance of safety and comfort, we recommend pairing this with other inherently flame-resistant garments to ensure a consistent level of protection across your entire uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of this well-engineered sweatshirt, it is important to follow specific care protocols. While the flame-resistant properties are inherent and will not fade, proper washing helps preserve the structural integrity of the knit and the vibrancy of your customised branding.
Avoid the use of industrial bleaching agents, as these can weaken the fibres and damage the visual finish of the navy fabric. We recommend a domestic wash cycle that avoids excessive temperatures to prevent unnecessary shrinkage or pilling of the knit surface.
When drying, it is preferable to air dry where possible. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting to prevent the elasticated cuffs and hem from losing their shape. Ensuring the garment is cared for correctly will guarantee that your professional appearance remains intact shift after shift.
