BENCHMARK FRFlame Resistant Face Mask Neck Gaiter - CAT1 - Made in the USA

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.

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.

The product worked very well in protecting me from the sun, dust, etc while mowing my lawn. However the bendable metal strip that goes on your nose tends to move around a little. This may be user error though.

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.

I love the material very durable, and breathable. The print on the mask was very well done also. Looks pretty badass I think

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.

BENCHMARK FR Flame Resistant Face Mask Neck Gaiter, USA Made, 6.4 Cal, Lightweight, Soft FRC I bought this for work - tree work along lines - and it has been terrific. I've been wearing it regularly for the past couple weeks. The fit is snug around my nose, not tight though, so it doesn't slide down & it's kept the dust out of my mouth. The neck area is looser & not restrictive when I move, it doesn't get caught up & twisted. It's comfortable to wear right out of the box & the stitching doesn't get in the way of other PPE. Compared to other PPE face products I've used this is the winner.I was the tester for this and now we're going to order more for the rest of the crew.I've worn it a couple days/week, most of the day each time. There is good 4-way elasticity, the fit is far superior to a bandana from a comfort stand point. I has not stretched out. The fit is snug, not tight or restrictive, around my nose and gradually expands (gets looser) and it approaches my neck. I notice it when I first put goggles on but it doesn't get in the way. I don't have any issue breathing when wearing it. I wash mine every other day or whenever I have a chance which sometimes means dunking it in a bucket of water every so often & it has not loosened up. The graphics on the front still look great. There are stains on it from sap & chainsaw oil but the graphics are going strong.

Not as thick as i was hoping for this winter but it looks cool

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

Been using it for a bit now and even with sparks and Slagle raining on me it's holding up top!

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

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!
