BENCHMARK FR Flame Resistant Face Mask Neck Gaiter - CAT1 - Made in The USA

Just want to let people know items is a described and works great. Very breathable and helps protect against wind, sand and gusts while on trails. Currently been using it to protect while out at stores. For the people that don't realize, this product is not completely fire proof. FR clothing means that the garment’s flame-resistant properties ensure it will resist catching fire, and if it does catch fire, it will not continue to burn once the source of combustion is removed. Flame-resistant clothing can and will burn when introduced to open flame from a flash fire, arc flash, combustible dust explosion or other fire sources. Remember, FR clothing is NOT fireproof. It is after the flame source is removed, that the FR “magic” happens. Flame-resistant workwear will not contribute to the severity of burn injury. Compared to Non-FR clothing, clothing that is not flame-resistant does not resist ignition, and once it has caught fire it will continue to burn until it is extinguished (ex: stop drop and roll, fire extinguisher) or until all flammable material has been consumed and there is nothing left to burn. Hope this helps.

bought 5 years ago as a gift for my brother. lasted him through welding school and well onto the job site. kept his face pretty/unburned, and has a cool graphic not that its super important for ppe to look cool. he just asked me where i got it so he could get more so i guess it was a good purchase.

Works well doesn’t fall down on its own too bad but also doesn’t choke you when around your neck light weight and not too hot in the summer , the only thing I don’t like is that the tag is very irritating and I attempted to simple rip it off which in turn roped a big hole in the mask but other than that it is fantastic just that damn tag

Although I wear it welding, I can't speak to it's flame resistance as I don't believe I've had any spatter contact. However, it's so comfortable and effective, that I wearing it any time I'm mowing, weed trimming, or kicking up dust and pollen. The material is very breathable, but also effective at filtering out some particulate, as evidenced by the dirt build up around the mouth/nose section. The adjustable nose piece is great as well. It's sturdy enough to make a secure fit, but flexible enough to not be uncomfortable if using it as a neck cover alone.

Great for windy days and light weight. Had mine for nearly 6 years with medium use and is still holding up.

I haven’t been arc flashed on or anything to test it’s protection, but it’s one of the more comfortable gators I’ve worn. Not too tight, but also isn’t sliding down all the time. It’s winter time so I don’t know how it’ll be during the summer, but it seems like it won’t be too hot. Doesn’t restrict air follow or anything either. Happy to have found them and happy that they’re made in America. I got 5 of them to wear at work and they’ve all been consistent with fit and feel. I’m very happy with my purchase.

This is my favorite gaiter. It’s soft and gives enough room that it doesn’t get in your mouth. The flame resistant material is only level one. So it’s not for journeymen or guys near open flames. It’s more for sparks and flashes(think welder). Just putting that out there for those that wanna put a lighter to the fabric. It will burn but much slower than non flame retardant material. Anyway, long story short, I will be buying another. It’s a great gaiter and I’m glad I found it.

This is NOT your nylon face covering. It’s thick and won’t melt to your face like those other ones with the designs you might be looking for. Sure these have cool designs but they tend to stretch out and not sit well on your face after swearing and adjusting it throughout the day. It’s GREAT for keeping sparks off your face and neck while welding but if you’re just looking to wear it as a fashion statement when you’re just the fire watch helper, get something else and let the big dogs play.

This is the second Benchmark FR product I have bought and like the benchmark jacket I’m also happy with this product. The quality is good but that’s to be expected when this is made in USA

Great product! I work in refineries all Over canada. It’s light weight and warm. Fits in your pocket. FR and arc flash rated perfect for the work I do and adds a little fun to it!

Más que solo una manga o cuello de protección, con su diseño y retardante hace de esta prenda algo mejor para tener en cuenta y ser parte de ti

Esperaba algo mejor, el material es delgado, con la primera lavada sé le cayó la etiqueta y el estampado sé ha ido degradando.

Very nice quality. Looking forward to wearing this in the field.
