More than a one-time item, The Shield™ Jacket has initially introduced nearly eight years ago as the first rain-resistant, stretch FR softshell garment. It's crafted for utility and industrial safety workers and built for colder climates.
The Shield™ Jacket went through several design iterations and an upgrade to the fabric. While the initial version of the Shield jacket was prevalent, DragonWear received a lot of positive feedback and suggestions on how to make the jacket even better. The company took that feedback and designed something users will like. They are excited to release The Shield™ Jacket.
Jacket Features
The best-selling, long-lived jacket has been redesigned to meet the demand of utility and oil and gas workers
- Shifted shoulder seams to avoid chafing
- Reinforced fabric for high-wear on elbows, cuffs, and zipper openings
- Highly resistant to wind and water
- Increased ARC protection Dual-hazard certified as NFPA 70E and NFPA 21112 to meet industry standards
Yet, it still retains the same dependability as the original brother. The Shield™ Jacket is perfect for strenuous work during the day yet keeps firefighters looking sharp after hours.
Fabric Specification
Made in the USA, The Black Shield Jacket's proprietary Tri-Blend stretch FR softshell fabric is a CAT 4 certified with an ARC 65 rating. The Tri-Fiber FR blended fabrics offer a synergistic package, making it one of the most utilized fabrics by DragonWear.
This garment is truly the ultimate FR softshell for lineworkers and has been proven in the field for many years. The legacy of the original jacket continues to live on.
