- Build the range around the ratings your customers' series require.
- A /1 and a /5 suit, gloves, shoes and FR underwear cover most entry-to-club buyers.
- Plan sizes from your sales channel and keep packaging consistent across the range.
- Specify the whole range together for one consolidated quotation.
Start from the rules
Your customers buy what their series requires. Many US series set SFI 3.2A/5 as the minimum for suits, and some accept /1 over fire-resistant underwear. Check the rulebooks of the series you sell into before choosing ratings.
A typical range
- A single-layer suit developed around SFI 3.2A/1 (entry level)
- A two-layer suit developed around SFI 3.2A/5
- Gloves developed around SFI 3.3/5
- Shoes developed around SFI 3.3
- FR underwear, balaclavas and socks developed around SFI 3.3
Compare the suit ratings in the SFI guide.
Constructions and materials
Our /1 construction is a single layer of 295 g/m² Proban® FR cotton, recorded at TPP 10; our /5 construction is a two-layer Nomex® system of 330 g/m², recorded at TPP 21.6. Material figures are not garment certifications: each product's status is confirmed in the quotation.
Sizes
Use the size charts as a base and plan the split from your sales channel: online retailers often need a fuller range than a team order. Youth sizes can be added.
Branding and packaging
Keep branding consistent across the range: embroidered logos, woven labels, care labels, hang tags and packaging.
Quote it as one order
Use the Collection Builder to specify every product with its standard, construction, material, sizes, colours, branding and packaging, then send one consolidated RFQ. You can save the specification and reopen it for repeat production.
FAQs
