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

The DNC 3408 Patron Saint Flame Retardant Arc Rated Closed Front Shirt with “X” Back LOXY F/R Tape – Long Sleeve is purpose-built for workers operating in high-risk environments where safety is non-negotiable. Designed to meet strict industry standards, this shirt delivers reliable protection against heat, flame, and arc flash hazards, while still offering the comfort and durability needed for long days on-site.

Made from 190gsm cotton drill, this shirt provides a strong yet breathable foundation that’s well-suited to tough Aussie working conditions. Cotton drill is known for its durability and comfort, making it ideal for extended wear, especially in demanding environments. The fabric is engineered with flame-retardant properties, helping to reduce the risk of injury in the event of exposure to heat or flames.

The shirt features a closed front design with a concealed placket, giving it a clean and professional look while also enhancing safety. The FR plastic stud closures are specifically designed for flame-retardant garments, reducing the risk of heat conduction compared to metal alternatives. This thoughtful design detail adds an extra layer of protection without compromising on ease of use.

Built for movement and flexibility, the shirt includes gusset sleeves, allowing for a greater range of motion when working overhead, lifting, or performing repetitive tasks. This ensures you’re not restricted while on the job, helping improve both comfort and productivity throughout the day.

One of the standout safety features of the DNC 3408 is its compliance with recognised international standards. It meets BS EN ISO 11612:2008 for flame-resistant protection and NFPA 70E (ASTM F1959/F) for arc flash rating, giving you peace of mind that the garment has been tested and certified for hazardous conditions. With an ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value) of 6.8 cal/cm² and a Hazard Risk Category (HRC) rating of 1, this shirt is suitable for environments where lower-level arc flash protection is required.

Visibility is another key component of this design. The shirt features an “X” back LOXY flame-retardant tape pattern, along with additional reflective tape across the back. This configuration improves visibility from multiple angles, particularly in low-light conditions or busy worksites. It helps ensure you remain seen by others, contributing to overall site safety.

The long sleeve design provides additional coverage and protection for the arms, which is essential in environments where exposure to sparks, heat, or electrical hazards is a concern. The cuffs are designed to sit securely, helping to keep sleeves in place while you work.

Finished in a high-visibility Orange colour, the shirt enhances daytime visibility, making it easier to be seen in a variety of work settings. Combined with the reflective tape, it supports safer working conditions, especially in environments with moving machinery or low visibility.

Fit and sizing have also been carefully considered. Available in a wide range from XS through to 6XL, the DNC 3408 caters to a broad range of body types. The fit is designed to allow comfortable movement without being overly loose, and it provides enough room for layering if required, depending on the work environment or weather conditions.

Overall, the DNC 3408 Patron Saint Flame Retardant Arc Rated Shirt is a dependable choice for workers who need certified protection without compromising on comfort or practicality. With its compliant safety features, durable construction, and thoughtful design, it’s built to handle demanding Aussie worksites while helping keep you protected on the job.
