KG-114-NAV-XL - XL Navy Proban FR Cotton Welding Jacket, 30-Inch Length

Reliable Flame Resistant Protection

The King Canada KG-114 Navy Welding Jacket is an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) for welders seeking a balance between safety and comfort. Designed for the industrial environment, this jacket is constructed from high-quality 9 oz. Proban® cotton. Proban is a specialized chemical treatment applied to cotton fabrics that imparts reliable flame-retardant properties without compromising the material's integrity. This ensures that the jacket effectively resists sparks, spatter, and incidental flame contact, which are common hazards in welding and metal fabrication shops.

Comfort for Long Shifts

Unlike heavy leather jackets that can become stiflingly hot during long shifts or in warm working conditions, this cotton welding jacket is breathable and lightweight. It allows for better air circulation, keeping the operator cool and reducing fatigue. The XL size is cut to allow for freedom of movement, enabling welders to maneuver easily in tight spaces or when performing out-of-position welds. The navy blue color is not only stylish but practical, as it helps to conceal grease, oil, and workshop grime, maintaining a professional appearance for longer.

Functional Safety Features

Safety is paramount in the design of the KG-114. The jacket features a 30-inch length, providing ample coverage for the torso and upper hips, bridging the gap between the jacket and trousers to prevent spark entry. The front is secured with durable snap closures. Snaps are preferred in welding apparel over buttons because they do not trap sparks and allow for rapid removal of the garment in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the jacket includes a convenient inside pocket, keeping personal items like markers, scribes, or phones safe from external heat and debris.

Applications

This jacket is ideal for light to medium-duty welding processes such as TIG welding, low-amperage MIG welding, and general shop fabrication. It is also excellent for supervisors, plasma cutting operations, and grinding tasks where full leather protection may be unnecessary. For overhead welding or heavy-duty stick welding, additional leather protection (such as sleeves or a bib) may be recommended.
