DNC 3408 Patron Saint Flame Retardant Arc Rated Closed Front Shirt with “X” Back LOXY F/R Tape – Long Sleeve

DNC 3408 Patron Saint Flame Retardant Arc Rated Closed Front Shirt with “X” Back LOXY F/R Tape – Long Sleeve

When you’re working in high-risk environments where protection and visibility are non-negotiable, the DNC 3408 Patron Saint Flame Retardant Arc Rated Closed Front Shirt has your back — literally. Designed for Aussie tradies who demand reliability, compliance, and comfort, this shirt offers outstanding flame resistance, arc protection, and hi-vis performance in one tough-as-nails garment.

 

Built Tough with Premium Flame-Resistant Fabric

 

Crafted from 190gsm cotton drill, the DNC 3408 provides a solid combination of comfort and safety. This midweight cotton is soft against the skin yet durable enough to handle demanding work environments like construction, electrical maintenance, mining, or oil and gas. The fabric’s flame-retardant (FR) properties mean it won’t melt, drip, or ignite easily — giving you crucial protection when exposed to sparks, heat, or open flame.

 

This shirt doesn’t just meet safety standards; it exceeds them. It complies with the BS EN ISO 11612:2008 standard for flame-resistant workwear and the NFPA 70E / ASTM F1959/F1959M standard for electrical arc flash protection. With an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) of 6.8 cal/cm² and a Hazard Risk Category (HRC) 1 rating, you’re getting the kind of protection trusted across heavy industry and electrical trades.

 

Smart Design with Maximum Protection

 

The closed front concealed placket design provides an added layer of safety by eliminating exposed metal parts that can conduct heat or electricity. Instead of standard buttons, it features FR plastic studs that are non-conductive and resistant to melting under high heat — a thoughtful feature that protects you in the event of a flash or arc.

 

You’ll also find gusset sleeves for improved movement and comfort, allowing you to work freely without feeling restricted. Whether you’re reaching, bending, or operating heavy machinery, this shirt is built to move with you.

 

High Visibility with “X” Back Reflective Tape

 

Visibility is a must on busy worksites — and the DNC 3408 has that sorted too. The standout feature is the “X” back reflective tape design, which clearly identifies the back of the wearer for added safety. The shirt uses LOXY FR reflective tape, a premium brand known for its heat-resistant and anti-static reflective qualities.

 

This pattern not only complies with safety standards but also ensures that supervisors, machinery operators, and co-workers can quickly tell which direction you’re facing — a small detail that makes a big difference in safety-critical zones.

 

The “X” back pattern is preferred on many Australian job sites because it’s instantly recognisable and enhances visibility during both day and night work. The reflective tape maintains brightness even after multiple washes, so you can count on it to last through tough shifts and frequent laundering.

 

Engineered for Comfort and Performance

 

This shirt doesn’t compromise comfort for protection. Made from breathable cotton drill, it keeps you cool even during long hours in hot and harsh environments. The natural fibre fabric allows airflow while maintaining a professional, rugged appearance. Plus, it’s safe to wear directly against the skin, complying with Oeko-Tex 100 certification, meaning it’s free from harmful substances and completely skin-friendly.

 

Fit, Sizes, and Style

 

Available in sizes from XS through to 6XL, this shirt caters to all shapes and sizes — ensuring every tradie gets a proper fit. The relaxed, ergonomic cut is designed for real-world work conditions, providing a comfortable fit whether worn alone or layered over a singlet or under a jacket.

 

The DNC 3408 comes in high-visibility Orange, perfect for day or night use and compliant with Australian hi-vis workwear standards. It’s ideal for jobs that require both FR protection and high visibility, such as electrical work, construction, or industrial maintenance.
