The Blåkläder 1642 FR Stretch Pant redefines comfort and mobility in arc-rated workwear. Built with an 8.3 oz flame-resistant ripstop stretch fabric (91% cotton, 7% polyamide, 2% elastane), this CAT 2 pant delivers lightweight protection with enhanced flexibility for professionals who climb, position, and work in harness systems.

Engineered with 2-way stretch and an ergonomic fit, it moves naturally with the body whether on ladders, towers, or structural steel. The gusseted crotch and reinforced seams support demanding movement, while integrated tether loops and harness-friendly design make it an ideal solution for utility workers, wind technicians, and electrical trades operating at height.
