Arc Flash Kit - 40 CAL- Includes Arc Flash Hood, Coat and Bib Suit- CAT SERIES

I needed a 40cal arc flash suit just for occasional and brief use. Most cost much more but I am sure there may be some better features but I found the quality and feel of this setup was great. The fit was as advertised/recommended.

This is basically the cheapest 40cal flash suit on the market so your expectations needs to be realistic. The coveralls are 100% velcro closure, with no zippers. The suit is nothing fancy, but will definitely satisfy your safety officer and NFPA 70e.The size is accurate, but you should choose the next size bigger. I am at the top edge of "large" and I definitely should have bought extra-large. It fits, just barely.Just an FYI, it is impossible to breathe in the helmet. Once you flip the visor down, you have about 30 seconds to do your job before you start suffocating. For throwing a switch, it's fine. But if you have an extended project like rolling up energized cables or digging a critter out of your transformer: you absolutely need a fan powered hood.5/5 stars: decent, "cheap" arc flash suit.

Get one size bigger, you will appreciate it more. If anything, just Taylor it later. Mine fits for now, but If I get any bigger, I might have movement problems.
