0700010369 - ESAB Flame Resistant Welding Fleece - Medium

Advanced Flame-Resistant Body Protection

The ESAB FR Fleece Jacket in Medium (SKU: 0700010369) represents a critical component in the personal protective equipment (PPE) arsenal for professional welders and industrial fabricators. Engineered to bridge the gap between comfort and safety, this garment utilizes advanced flame-resistant (FR) fabric technology to provide a reliable barrier against incidental heat, sparks, and light spatter commonly encountered in welding environments. Unlike standard synthetic fleeces which can melt and cause severe burns upon contact with heat, this specialized FR fleece is chemically treated or inherently constructed to self-extinguish, significantly reducing the risk of injury in the workplace.

Designed for versatility, the jacket serves as an excellent mid-layer during colder months or in drafty workshops, fitting comfortably under heavy-duty leather welding jackets or coveralls. Alternatively, it functions as a primary outer layer for light-duty tasks such as TIG welding, grinding inspection, or supervision where heavy spatter is not a primary concern. The fabric's weight is optimized to offer thermal insulation without compromising range of motion, ensuring that the operator maintains dexterity and agility—crucial factors for precision welding tasks and general fabrication work.

The construction of the ESAB FR Fleece prioritizes durability and functionality. It features reinforced stitching to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. The design includes a high collar to protect the neck area from UV radiation and stray sparks, a vulnerable area often overlooked in standard apparel. Elasticated cuffs ensure a snug fit around the wrists, preventing debris entry and keeping the sleeves clear of the work zone. Compliance with safety standards is a key attribute, giving safety managers confidence in deploying this apparel across their workforce as part of a comprehensive safety program.

Furthermore, the jacket incorporates anti-static properties, making it suitable for environments where static discharge could pose a hazard. The full-length front zipper allows for rapid donning and doffing, while the integrated side pockets provide secure storage for essential small tools like markers, soapstone, or tip cleaners. By integrating safety features directly into a comfortable, wearable garment, ESAB ensures that protection is not an inconvenience but a standard part of the welder's daily routine.
