Welder’s protective clothing
Made from specially treated leather, these protective clothes are heat and wear resistant. They provide protection during welding, especially when the welder has to work close to the workpiece or where ovement is restricted. It is specially important that the welding jacket is worn when welding overhead, to protect the body and arms against falling sparks and slag. In addition to protection against sparks and molten metal, the task of the protective leather clothing is also to protect against electric shock. When dry the leather acts as an electric insulator. Therefore always wear dry protective clothing when doing arc welding.
