Does Oberon offer a long coat type arc flash suit?
No, Oberon has been a strong advocate against the use of this type of arc flash suit for the past 20 years. Long Coat with leggings style arc flash suits are a protection concern for workers! If a worker doesn’t kneel or squat with their legs together a large opening is created at the bottom. Furthermore, thermal incident energy can deflect and chimney up inside the long coat. Arc flash suits should be a Hood with either a Coat & Bib-Overall or Coverall. If you have a long coat style arc flash suit it should be replaced.
