Designed for workers exposed to flames, electric arcs and traffic hazards at once, this blue Pioneer 7730 flame-resistant safety vest combines fire resistance with reflective striping. Made of FR-Tech 88% premium cotton / 12% high-tenacity nylon (7 oz), it provides ARC 2 level protection, with an ATPV of 10 cal/cm² and a TPP of 9 cal/cm². It complies with CGSB 155.20-2017, NFPA 2112-2018 (UL certified), ASTM F1506-2020A, NFPA 70E-21, CSA Z462-24 and CSA Z96-22 class 1 level 2 (FR level). Made by Pioneer (manufacturer code V2540080, model 7730), available in sizes from S to 4XL (drop-down menu). Also available in an orange version (V7728) and a black version (V7729).
The vest is made of FR-Tech 88% premium cotton blended with 12% high-tenacity nylon, a fabric that resists flames and electric arcs while staying light and comfortable for extended wear. It has a cell-phone pocket, an attachment strap for a two-way radio and a D-ring access slot to pass the dorsal D-ring of a fall-arrest harness. It features 50 mm (2 in) silver StarTech retroreflective stripes alternating with hi-viz yellow stripes: 2 vertical stripes in front, 2 stripes crossing in an X on the back and one horizontal stripe at the waist.
Category 2 (ARC 2) corresponds to a minimum arc rating of 8 cal/cm², generally sufficient for installations with a risk below 8 cal/cm²; beyond that, increase the arc working distance or add protective layers. The ASTM F1506-2020A and NFPA 70E standards govern arc-flash protection and the selection of suitable flame-resistant clothing. About the ATPV and TPP values: discrepancies may exist between the manufacturer's data sheets depending on the standard and reference year; the values shown here match those printed on the garment.
Flame-resistant clothing combines two features: flame resistance and reflective striping, for workers exposed to flash fires, electric arcs or hazardous materials. The blue background is not a high-visibility color (chosen for aesthetics or to show less dirt); what sets this vest apart are its silver-grey retroreflective stripes that return light toward its source (flashlight, headlights) and offer maximum safety at dawn, dusk and night. Class 1 targets low-risk areas (parking lots, warehouses).
Application: workers exposed to fire and arc-flash hazards (industry, electrical work, welding, petrochemicals), where both visibility and fire resistance are required; garment features should match the employer's risk assessment. Restriction: do not dry-clean, bleach or use chlorine-based products; do not dry on a radiator; any garment that is holed, torn or contaminated with flammable materials must be repaired, cleaned or retired. Care: empty pockets and close fasteners, turn the garment inside out, wash in warm water (max 40°C / 104°F) with a mild liquid detergent (pH 10 or less), NO fabric softener (which makes the garment flammable), no starch and no bleach; dry at 65°C (149°F) maximum on the "cotton" setting, covering the retroreflective tape before any ironing.
It is ARC 2 level (category 2), with an ATPV of 10 cal/cm² and a TPP of 9 cal/cm².
