Blaklader 7203 Flame Resistant Merino Leggings - Black

While comfortable and warm, these leggings are primarily designed for protective workwear due to their flame-resistant properties and certifications. They can be worn as a base layer in demanding environments.

Merino wool fibers have a natural crimp that creates air pockets, trapping heat. Even when wet, these fibers retain a significant amount of their insulating capacity, unlike cotton.

It means the fabric is designed to resist ignition and will not melt or drip, offering protection in case of flash fires or exposure to heat sources. They are certified to specific safety standards.

Merino wool has excellent moisture-wicking properties that help regulate body temperature. While they provide warmth, they can also help manage moisture in moderate heat. However, for very hot conditions, lighter, non-insulating base layers might be more suitable.

Wash on a delicate cycle at 60°C. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying. Reshape while damp and dry flat to preserve the fit and material integrity.

EBT stands for Energy Break-open Threshold. This rating indicates the amount of thermal energy (in calories per square centimeter) at which the fabric's protective layer is expected to break open. A higher rating means greater protection against arc flash hazards.

Merino wool is naturally insulating. For less demanding indoor tasks or warmer conditions, consider pairing with lighter weight base layers or removing outer layers.

Ensure you are washing on a delicate cycle at 60°C and avoid machine drying or ironing, which can damage the wool fibers and elasticity. Reshape while damp.

Merino wool can be prone to snagging. Be mindful of sharp objects or rough surfaces when wearing these leggings to extend their lifespan.
