Arcbuster

Quite possibly the best thing we’ve ever made.

Most arc flash gear asks you to compromise somewhere. Comfort, durability, fit, cost, safety, take your pick. With Arcbuster, we thought we’d try something a bit radical: not compromising at all.

It’s lightweight at 240 g/m² without feeling flimsy. Tough without being stiff. Certified to the rafters, including layered ATPV ratings up to 85 cal/cm² and ELIM ratings of 76 cal/cm². Some garments are even rated for 100 washes — including hi-vis, which, as far as we’re aware, is a first across the industry. 

We’ve designed it in both male and female fits, because people come in more than one shape. And yes, it’s comfortable. Remarkably so, for something that can stand between you and a serious arc flash.

ROOTS Arcbuster.
Built for the job. Ready for the worst. Worn without a second thought.

The Flamebuster2, the best of the best made better.

We divided the Flamebuster2 into two products ranges – just like we did with the previous series of Flamebuster. For the basic range, we put together a series of standards that already exceed all other offshore coveralls. On top of that we have designed an ‘all can do’ product range; ticking all boxes. More safety standards; in fact, all standards that a coverall needs nowadays.

Hotworker

When it comes to hardcore welding

Complying with the strict EN standards is a challenge for all manufacturers of flame retardant workwear, however…surpassing the limits of the testing equipment is something which does not happen frequently. And that is exactly what ROOTS has accomplished with the Hotworker fabric.

Multi Protector

Wearer comfort, safety, functionality and superb industrial laundry behaviour all combined into one garment.

Without a doubt one of the most complete and functional ranges that ROOTS has to offer. When we first started back in 2008 our main focus was the oil & gas. This was the basis for the Flamebuster range. However…when besides protection against heat and flames industrial welding and grinding comes into play and then cotton fabrics are less suitable for the job. This is where the Multi Protector comes in.

Flamebuster Xtreme

When you need that inherent edge, Xtreme has you covered.

Inherent, comfortable and outstanding against electric arc, these are the things that are synonymous with ROOTS and especially with our Xtreme range. With a blend of modacrylic cotton and nylon, we are able to create our best performing inherent FR garments to date while also offering excellent protection against arc flash. Looking for an inherently flame retardant garment? look no further.

ROOTS Kermel

A lightweight aramid that ticks all the boxes.

ROOTS believes that most flame retardant fabrics are simply not good enough for today's standards. We view the health and safety of every person wearing ROOTS as our top priority which is why we have partnered with Kermel. Kermel is a major player in the aramid market producing outstanding FR fibres with of which superb inherent fabrics are constructed. Looking for inherent FR garments? ROOTS Kermel is the answer.

ROOTS Stormbuster

Roots Stormbuster - superb water repellency, the best breathability & uncompromised safety

ROOTS Stormbuster, the pinnacle of waterproof FR workwear. The Stormbuster range is divided into Stormbuster Classic and Stormbuster Contractor, offering a complete package of the best of the best in FR waterproof workwear.

ROOTS Legacy Products

All good things must come to an end.

That's why we replace them with even better things. ROOTS Legacy products are the products that laid the foundation of what we are today and that have since been discontinued and replaced with new garments and technologies. We haven't forgotten about these products however and if you are still a proud user of one of these legacy products you can find detailed product information here.
