KG-110-L - Navy Proban FR Cotton Welding Cape Sleeve, Large

Flame Resistant Proban Cotton Half Jacket

The KG-110-L is a specialized piece of welding apparel designed to bridge the gap between full body protection and operator comfort. Manufactured from 100% cotton that has undergone Proban treatment, this half jacket offers reliable flame resistance (FR) properties that are chemically bonded to the fabric fibers. This ensures that the garment remains flame-retardant throughout its useful life, provided care instructions are followed. The fabric is designed to self-extinguish when removed from an ignition source, preventing the spread of fire and reducing burn risks.

This specific model features an 18-inch length, classifying it as a half jacket or cape sleeve style. This design is particularly effective for protecting the areas most exposed to sparks—the arms, shoulders, and upper chest—while leaving the lower torso less restricted and more ventilated. It is an excellent choice for positioning work where flexibility is key. The jacket is secured with heavy-duty snap closures, which are preferred in welding environments as they are less prone to failure from spatter than zippers and allow for rapid removal in emergency situations.

The navy blue color is practical for industrial settings, hiding common workshop stains such as oil and soot better than lighter colors. As a size Large, it is tailored to fit standard adult frames, allowing room for movement without being excessively baggy, which can be a safety hazard. This garment is an essential component of a welder's PPE, specifically suited for TIG welding, light MIG applications, and general shop fabrication where heavy slag is not a primary concern.
