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

Stay Cool Without Sacrificing Safety

Every welder knows the struggle of gearing up in the middle of summer or working in a shop with poor ventilation. Heavy leather jackets offer great protection, but they can act like a sauna suit, leading to heat stress and fatigue. The Navy Proban Cotton Half Jacket is your solution for those days when you need protection but can't stand the heat. Made from high-quality FR-treated cotton, this jacket blocks sparks and light spatter without weighing you down.

The "half jacket" design, often called a cape sleeve, is a favorite among seasoned pros. It covers your arms and shoulders—the parts of you that are right next to the arc—but stops at the mid-chest (18 inches down). This allows for much better airflow around your midsection, keeping your core temperature down. If you need full coverage later, you can usually pair this style of jacket with a separate bib apron, giving you a modular system that adapts to the job at hand.

We know that gear needs to be tough. That's why this jacket uses snap closures instead of buttons or zippers. Snaps don't get jammed up with grit, and if you ever catch a hot spark that doesn't bounce off, you can rip this jacket off in a second. The navy color keeps you looking professional even after a long week of grinding and welding. Whether you are TIG welding aluminum or doing light fabrication, this Proban jacket gives you the freedom to move and the protection you trust.
