When it comes to protective clothing, every detail matters — from the fiber composition to the weight of the fabric. One of the most crucial specifications in industrial apparel is the GSM (grams per square meter), which determines the thickness, durability, and comfort of the garment. At Harbor365, we design advanced flame and arc-resistant clothing using carefully engineered fabrics, and today we’re focusing on 150 GSM fabric — a lightweight yet reliable option for many high-risk industries.
What is 150 GSM?
GSM (grams per square meter) refers to the weight of the fabric. A 150 GSM fabric weighs 150 grams per square meter, making it a lightweight textile. Despite being light, when blended with the right fibers and treatments, it can deliver exceptional comfort, breathability, and safety — essential for protective clothing in warm or humid climates.
Key Benefits of 150 GSM Fabric in Protective Clothing
-
Lightweight & Comfortable
Workers in high-risk industries like Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and Renewable Energy often work long hours in harsh environments. 150 GSM fabrics help reduce fatigue by providing lighter, breathable clothing without compromising protection. -
Ideal for Hot Environments
In regions where high temperatures are a challenge, heavier fabrics can trap heat and moisture. 150 GSM ensures better airflow, sweat absorption, and quick drying, keeping workers comfortable and focused on the job. -
Flexibility Without Compromise
Despite being lighter, 150 GSM fabrics can be engineered with flame-resistant (FR) finishes and arc protection. This balance of safety and flexibility makes them suitable for industries where mobility is as important as protection. -
Durability Through Innovation
With advanced fiber blends like cotton-polyester FR mixes or modacrylic fabrics, 150 GSM protective wear can withstand industrial conditions while maintaining structural integrity after multiple washes.
Applications of 150 GSM in Protective Workwear
-
Oil & Gas Industry – Flame-resistant shirts for high-temperature zones.
-
Electric Utilities – Arc-rated lightweight coveralls for daily operations.
-
Renewable Energy – Breathable PPE for solar and wind technicians.
-
General Industrial Use – Lightweight jackets, shirts, and inner protective layers.
Harbor365’s Commitment
At Harbor365, we understand that safety doesn’t come at the cost of comfort. Our 150 GSM protective clothing solutions are designed to meet EN ISO 11612 and other international safety standards, ensuring every garment provides certified protection while enhancing worker efficiency and well-being.
Final Thoughts
The choice of fabric weight in protective clothing is not just about comfort — it’s about balancing safety, durability, and performance. For industries operating in warm climates or requiring lightweight gear, 150 GSM protective clothing is a smart and effective choice.
