280327008 - Miller Thermo-Fleece FR Welding Jacket, Navy, Size 3XL

Premium FR Protection: Miller 280327008 Thermo-Fleece Jacket

The Miller Electric Thermo-Fleece Welding Jacket in Navy (Part Number 280327008) represents a fusion of comfort engineering and industrial safety standards. Designed for the professional welder, this garment addresses the need for flame-resistant (FR) apparel that does not sacrifice mobility or warmth. Sized at XXXL (3XL), it provides a spacious fit suitable for larger operators or for use as a substantial thermal layer over standard work shirts.

Material Science and Durability

At the core of this jacket is a specialized 9 oz. flame-resistant fleece fabric. This material is specifically developed to self-extinguish when removed from an ignition source, drastically reducing the risk of burn injuries compared to non-FR synthetic fleeces which can melt and adhere to skin. The fabric weight is optimized to provide significant thermal retention, making it an essential piece of gear for field work in cold climates or drafty fabrication plants. The hems are finished to prevent fraying, and the stitching is reinforced to withstand the wear and tear of daily industrial use.

Functional Design for Welders

Miller's attention to detail is evident in the functional features of the 280327008. The jacket utilizes a snap button closure system rather than a zipper; zippers can often jam with grit or become conductive heat paths, whereas snaps are reliable and allow for rapid doffing in emergency situations. The inclusion of an interior pocket ensures that personal items remain shielded from UV radiation, sparks, and grinding dust.

Application Versatility

This Thermo-Fleece jacket is categorized for light-duty welding, such as TIG welding or low-amperage MIG, where spatter is minimal. It is also highly effective for supervisors, inspectors, and machine operators who require FR protection but do not need the heavy armor of cowhide. For heavy-duty stick or flux-cored welding, this jacket functions as a superior insulating liner under heavy leathers, providing warmth without restricting arm movement. Invest in the Miller Thermo-Fleece to enhance your safety program and operator comfort.
