OVERVIEW

Essential Neck Protection for Welders

Welding is a demanding craft that exposes you to intense heat, flying sparks, and harmful UV radiation. While your helmet protects your face and eyes, and your jacket covers your torso, the neck area is often left vulnerable to the "sunburn" effect of the arc or the sting of stray spatter. The Navy Blue Proban Cotton Helmet Bib is the perfect solution to bridge that gap in your personal protective equipment.

Designed with the welder's comfort in mind, this bib is made from 100% Proban-treated cotton. Proban is a world-renowned quality controlled technological process that gives cotton flame-retardant properties that are durable to modern wash and wear standards. Unlike heavy leather alternatives, this cotton bib is lightweight and breathable, preventing you from overheating while still providing the necessary barrier against sparks and radiant heat.

Easy to Install and Use

Simplicity is key when you are gearing up. This bib features a straightforward Velcro attachment system that easily secures to the bottom edge of almost any standard welding helmet. Whether you are using a passive hood or a high-end auto-darkening model, you can attach this bib in seconds. It hangs down to cover the front of your neck and upper chest, effectively blocking UV rays that bounce off your work surface and preventing hot sparks from finding their way down your collar.

Durable and Practical

The navy blue color isn't just for style; it is practical for the workshop environment, helping to hide the inevitable soot and grime that comes with the job. By adding this simple accessory to your gear, you significantly reduce the risk of painful burns and long-term skin damage, allowing you to focus entirely on laying the perfect bead.

FAQ

Proban is a quality-controlled chemical process applied to cotton fabrics to give them flame-retardant properties. It allows the fabric to char rather than burn when exposed to flame, while maintaining the comfort and breathability of natural cotton.

It uses a Velcro (hook-and-loop) strip system. One side adheres to the bottom edge of your welding helmet, and the bib attaches to that strip, making it easy to install and remove.

Yes, the Velcro attachment method is designed to be universal and should fit the vast majority of standard and auto-darkening welding helmets on the market.

Yes, Proban cotton is washable. However, you should follow specific washing instructions for FR garments (avoid bleach and fabric softeners) to maintain its flame-resistant properties.

It provides protection against light spatter and sparks. For heavy slag or large amounts of molten metal (such as in heavy overhead gouging), leather protection might be more appropriate, but this bib is excellent for general welding.

Navy blue is a standard color in the industry because it effectively hides dirt, grease, and soot, keeping the gear looking cleaner for longer. It also reduces glare.

Absolutely. TIG welding produces intense UV radiation which can cause severe sunburn on exposed skin. This bib is ideal for blocking those harmful rays.
