The Sioen Newton is a wind- and waterproof jacket with arc flash protection APC 2, the highest class of the box test (7 kA).
Despite the high level of protection, the jacket is remarkably light. It features 2 loops for gas detection, an elastic waist adjustment at the back, and a stand-up collar to which a hood (sold separately) can be attached.
Size chart: view the official Sioen size chart (body measurements).
Arc flash clothing only provides protection when worn as a complete closed set: wear a jacket and trousers (or overalls) of at least the same class and do not wear synthetic clothing that melts underneath. The required class is determined by the employer's risk assessment (RI&E) and arc flash risk analysis. The manufacturer certifies each size and color; you can find the declaration of conformity under Technical documents.
