Built for Women in the Field: Introducing the Portwest FR724 Women's FR Shirt

When working in high-risk industrial, electrical, or utility environments, safety gear needs to provide uncompromised protection without sacrificing comfort or fit. Historically, women in the trades have had to make do with unisex or scaled-down men's workwear that fails to provide proper proportions. That is why having dedicated, purpose-built women's flame-resistant apparel is essential for safety, mobility, and all-day wearability.

Introducing the Portwest FR724 Women's Bizflame 88/12 FR Shirt

The Portwest FR724 Women's FR Work Shirt bridges the gap between rugged industrial safety and a tailored, comfortable fit. Manufactured from a lightweight 7 oz blend of 88% cotton and 12% high-tenacity nylon, this shirt delivers permanent flame resistance that is guaranteed for the life of the garment.

Designed specifically for female workers, the FR724 ensures a professional fit that moves naturally with your body while maintaining rigorous safety compliance on the job site.
