TTU408 - Weldmate XL Brown Leather Welding Cape Sleeves

Heavy-Duty Industrial Protection

The Weldmate TTU408 Cape Sleeves in Brown Leather (Size XL) represent a critical component in personal protective equipment (PPE) for professional welders. Engineered for rigorous industrial environments, these cape sleeves are manufactured from high-grade split cowhide leather. This material is selected for its superior thermal properties, offering substantial resistance to molten metal spatter, sparks, and radiant heat generated during arc welding processes such as MIG, TIG, and Stick welding. The leather's inherent durability also provides excellent abrasion resistance, protecting the wearer from sharp edges and rough metal surfaces commonly encountered in fabrication shops.

Designed with the professional in mind, the cape sleeve configuration addresses the need for targeted protection without the thermal burden of a full jacket. By covering the arms, shoulders, and upper chest—the areas most susceptible to burns during overhead and vertical welding—while leaving the back open, this garment significantly reduces heat stress. This design feature is particularly advantageous in high-temperature work zones or during summer months, allowing for better air circulation and body temperature regulation. The unit is constructed with reinforced stitching, typically utilizing high-strength heat-resistant thread, to ensure structural integrity even under continuous stress and movement.

The TTU408 features adjustable snap closures at the collar and wrists, allowing for a secure fit that prevents debris entry. The XL sizing is calibrated to fit comfortably over standard work shirts or uniforms without restricting range of motion. Furthermore, these cape sleeves are designed to integrate seamlessly with detachable bibs (often available separately), allowing users to customize their level of frontal protection based on the specific task at hand. For procurement managers and safety officers, the Weldmate Cape Sleeves offer a reliable, compliant, and durable solution for workforce safety.
