When it comes to personal protective equipment (PPE), one of the most important factors influencing safety, comfort, and performance is fabric weight. At Harbor365, we specialize in creating flame-resistant (FR) and arc-resistant protective clothing that meets international safety standards while addressing the unique challenges of workers across Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, New Energy, and other high-risk industries. One of the most popular fabric weights in our protective clothing range is 220gsm.
What Does 220gsm Mean?
The term gsm stands for grams per square meter. It indicates the fabric’s weight and density. A 220gsm fabric is considered lightweight in the protective clothing industry, making it ideal for environments where breathability, flexibility, and comfort are as critical as protection.
