OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Defense Against Neck Burns

If you have ever spent a day welding overhead or in a tight position, you know the misery of a stray spark finding its way down the back of your shirt. Even worse is the "welder's sunburn"—that stinging, red patch on your neck caused by arc rays reflecting off the wall behind you. The Techniweld Arab Cap (TEC6011XL) is built to put an end to those bad days. This isn't just a standard beanie; it's a dedicated piece of armor for your head and neck, featuring the classic "Arab" style flap that drapes securely over your collar to seal out slag, sparks, and UV light.

The secret to this cap's performance is the material: Westex Proban® FR Cotton. Many cheap welding caps are just cotton with a spray-on coating that washes out after a month. Proban is different—the fire resistance is locked into the fibers of the fabric. This means you can wash it, wear it, sweat in it, and abuse it, and it will still refuse to burn. It chars and self-extinguishes immediately upon contact with flame, giving you the confidence to focus on your puddle, not on whether your gear is about to catch fire. Plus, because it's high-quality cotton, it feels soft against your skin, absorbs sweat like a sponge, and keeps your head cool when the shop heats up.

Designed specifically for the professional welder, the XL fit is generous and comfortable. It won't squeeze your head or leave deep red marks on your forehead after a ten-hour shift. The low-profile seams mean it slides effortlessly under your welding hood or hard hat without bunching up. Whether you are stick welding on a bridge or TIG welding in a fab shop, this cap is the barrier you need. Ditch the bandana and upgrade to professional-grade protection that covers your blind spots and keeps you welding comfortably all day long.

FAQ

The Arab style cap includes an extended fabric flap at the back. This flap is designed to drape over the wearer's neck and ears, providing critical protection against sparks, slag, and UV radiation that a standard beanie does not cover.

Westex Proban is a specialized fire-retardant fabric technology. It involves a chemical process that permanently alters the cotton fibers to be flame resistant. This is important because, unlike temporary coatings, the protection will not wash out or deteriorate over time.

Yes, the Westex Proban fabric is designed to be durable and washable. You can machine wash the cap using mild detergents. However, you should avoid using bleach or hydrogen peroxide, as these can degrade the FR properties.

Absolutely. The cap is constructed with a low-profile design and flat seams specifically to be worn as a liner under hard hats and welding helmets without causing discomfort or affecting the fit of the outer gear.

While sizing can vary slightly by batch, an XL welding cap generally fits head circumferences between 23.5 inches and 24.5 inches, which corresponds roughly to hat sizes 7 1/2 to 7 3/4.

Yes, it is excellent for TIG welding. TIG welding produces intense UV radiation, and the neck flap helps prevent UV burns on the back of the neck, which are common when welding with high amperage.

No, Westex Proban cotton is engineered to char rather than melt or drip when exposed to intense heat or flame. This prevents the molten plastic burns associated with synthetic fabrics.
