OVERVIEW

Stay Cool Under the Hood

Every welder knows that heat stress is the enemy of productivity. When you are under the hood for hours, wearing a heavy cowhide jacket can feel like being in a sauna. The KG-110-XL Navy Proban Cotton Half Jacket is the solution for welders who need to stay cool without sacrificing safety. Built from premium Proban-treated cotton, this cape sleeve offers the flame resistance you trust, but in a lightweight, breathable package that keeps the air flowing around your body.

The cape sleeve design is a favorite among pipe welders and fabricators because it puts protection exactly where you need it—on your arms and shoulders—while leaving your midsection free. This 18-inch jacket stops just above the waist, preventing bunching when you are bending over a workpiece or sitting at a bench. If you need belly protection, you can easily snap on a bib, but for many tasks, this half-jacket provides the perfect amount of coverage. The snap closures are tough and secure, ensuring your jacket stays closed even when you are moving into difficult out-of-position welds.

Comfort doesn't mean weak protection. The FR cotton is tightly woven to resist sparks and light spatter, making it ideal for TIG, light MIG, and general shop work. The XL sizing is generous enough to fit over your work shirt but tailored enough to prevent loose fabric from getting snagged on equipment. Whether you are grinding, tacking, or running long beads, this navy blue cape sleeve helps you maintain your focus on the puddle, not on how hot and uncomfortable you are. Upgrade your PPE with gear that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

Proban is a chemical process applied to cotton fabrics that gives them flame-retardant properties. The treatment creates a polymer within the fiber that prevents the fire from spreading, causing the fabric to char and self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed.

This cotton jacket is significantly lighter and more breathable than leather, making it cooler to wear. However, leather offers superior protection against heavy spatter and slag. This jacket is best for light to medium duty welding, while leather is better for heavy stick or overhead welding.

Yes, Proban treated garments can be washed. However, you should avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the flame-resistant properties. Follow the specific care label instructions to maintain the FR rating.

No, this product is the half-jacket (cape sleeve) only. It typically features snaps that allow you to attach a bib, which is usually sold separately.

While specific charts vary, an XL welding jacket generally fits chest sizes between 46 and 48 inches. Because it is designed to be worn over other clothing, the fit is usually slightly loose.

For overhead welding, we recommend using this jacket in conjunction with a leather bib or wearing a full leather jacket. Cotton may not provide sufficient protection against large globs of molten metal falling directly onto the garment.

The snaps are typically made of metal for durability but are often covered or insulated on the inside to prevent heat transfer to the skin.

The 18-inch length is a standard 'cape sleeve' design. It is intended to protect the upper body while allowing for maximum waist mobility and ventilation, or to be used with a separate apron or bib.
