How Long Does FR Clothing Last?
🔥 How Long Does FR Clothing Last?
At Benchmark FR, our answer is simple: For the life of the garment.
Many FR brands limit you to 50–100 wash cycles. That’s because many manufacturers use treated FR fabrics, where the flame resistance is applied as a chemical finish, or improperly imparted into the material. Over time, and especially with repeated laundering, the FR finish degrades, reducing protection and forcing early replacement.
Benchmark FR takes a different approach. Every piece we make is guaranteed to remain flame resistant for as long as you own it. No wash cycle limits, no surprises.
