FR Workwear Reviewer

Wes Calder

Independent flame-resistant-workwear reviewer. Reads the standards (NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506), pulls manufacturer spec sheets and garment tags, and aggregates what tradespeople actually report — and tells you when a number is a manufacturer claim versus an independent standard. Ranks on protection-and-fit merit, never by affiliate commission.
