Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'FR' mean for Ariat pants, and what should I confirm before buying?

A: FR stands for Flame Resistant, meaning the fabric self-extinguishes once the ignition source is removed. Before buying, confirm the pants meet the specific safety standards required by your safety officer, such as NFPA 2112 for flash fire or NFPA 70E (CAT 2) for arc flash hazards.

Q: How do I choose Ariat FR pants for arc flash vs. flash fire environments?

A: For arc flash environments (electrical work), look for an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) that meets your required HRC/CAT level (typically CAT 2). For flash fire environments (oil & gas), ensure the garment is UL certified to NFPA 2112. The Ariat M4 Workhorse collection typically covers both standards.

Q: What fit should I choose if I climb, kneel, or wear boots all day?

A: The M4 Relaxed Fit is ideal for active work. It offers a relaxed cut through the waist, hip, and thigh, providing ample room for movement without being baggy. The boot cut leg opening easily fits over heavy industrial work boots.

Q: What features matter most on the job for these pants?

A: Key features include DuraStretch canvas for mobility, triple-needle stitching for durability against abrasion, and a functional pocket layout (including a dedicated knife/tool pocket) to keep essential gear accessible.

Q: Do all Ariat FR pants in this collection meet NFPA 70E?

A: Most Ariat FR M4 Workhorse pants are rated CAT 2 and meet NFPA 70E standards for electrical safety. However, ratings can vary by specific fabric weight and blend, so always check the individual product label or description to verify the ATPV rating.
