OVERVIEW

Stay Cool and Protected with Proban Cotton

Welders know that comfort is key to a steady hand and a good bead. The Navy 13oz Proban Cotton Welding Jacket (Large) is designed for the welder who needs protection but wants to avoid the stifling heat of full leather gear. Built from 13-ounce cotton, this jacket is significantly lighter than cowhide, reducing shoulder strain and allowing for greater freedom of movement. The fabric is treated with Proban®, a leading flame-retardant finish that prevents the cotton from igniting or continuing to burn after the heat source is removed, giving you the confidence to work safely around sparks and heat.

This jacket is perfect for fabrication shops, maintenance work, and warm-weather welding. The 30-inch torso length ensures that your waistline remains covered even when bending, reaching, or welding out of position. The front is secured with durable snap buttons, which are easy to operate even with gloves on and provide a secure seal against flying sparks. We know that shop environments are dirty, which is why the deep Navy color is a favorite—it hides the grime and soot that inevitably accumulates, keeping you looking cleaner for longer.

Practicality is built right in with an internal pocket. This secure storage spot is perfect for keeping your soapstone, markers, or phone safe from the hazards of the job site. Whether you are doing precision TIG work or general fabrication, this FR cotton jacket offers the breathability you need to stay focused and the protection you need to stay safe. It serves as an excellent primary layer for light welding or a secondary layer under a leather apron for heavier applications.

FAQ

Proban is a chemical quality control process used to give cotton fabric flame-retardant properties. It allows the fabric to char rather than burn when exposed to flame, protecting the wearer.

This cotton jacket is much 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 work.

Yes, Proban treated garments can usually be washed. However, you must follow specific care instructions (typically avoiding bleach and fabric softeners) to maintain the flame-resistant properties.

While sizing can vary slightly, a standard Large welding jacket typically fits a chest size of approximately 42 to 44 inches.

No, this jacket features an inside pocket. Outside pockets can catch sparks and slag, so an inside pocket is safer for welding applications.

For overhead welding, heavy leather is generally recommended due to the high risk of falling molten metal. This cotton jacket is better suited for flat, horizontal, or vertical positions with light spatter.

The jacket is made from 13 ounce cotton, which is a heavy-duty weight for fabric, providing good durability and thermal protection.

Snaps are safer in welding environments because they allow the wearer to quickly rip the jacket open and remove it if a spark or hot slag gets inside.
