KG-214-XL - 13 oz Proban FR Cotton Welding Jacket, Navy, Size XL

Heavy-Duty Flame Resistant Protection

The KG-214-XL 13 Oz Proban Cotton Welding Jacket is an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for professional welders who demand both safety and comfort. Unlike standard work shirts, this jacket is constructed from heavyweight 13-ounce cotton that has been treated with Proban, a world-renowned flame-retardant polymer. This treatment ensures that the fabric maintains its flame-resistant properties even after laundering, providing reliable protection against sparks, light spatter, and the intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation generated during the welding process.

Comfort Meets Durability

Working in high-heat environments often makes wearing full leather gear impractical and uncomfortable. This Proban cotton jacket offers a breathable alternative that significantly reduces heat stress while still offering substantial protection for TIG welding, light MIG welding, and general fabrication tasks. The 13-ounce fabric weight strikes the perfect balance between durability and flexibility, allowing for a full range of motion without the stiffness associated with heavier materials. The navy blue color is not only stylish but practical, as it effectively hides grease, soot, and workshop grime, keeping you looking professional throughout the workday.

Functional Design Features

Safety and functionality are at the core of this jacket's design. It features a generous 30-inch length, providing extended coverage for the lower torso and hips, which is critical when working in various positions. The front is secured with durable snap closures rather than buttons; snaps are preferred in welding apparel because they eliminate the risk of threads burning off and allow the wearer to quickly strip the jacket off in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the jacket includes a convenient inside pocket, keeping your markers, soapstone, or phone secure and shielded from direct exposure to sparks.
