247147 - Miller Classic Cloth Welding Bib, 19-Inch, Attaches to Cape Sleeves

Industrial-Grade Torso Protection

The Miller 247147 Classic Cloth Bib is a specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) component designed to integrate seamlessly with Miller's Classic Series Cape Sleeves. Engineered for the rigors of industrial environments, this 19-inch bib serves as the frontal defense system in a modular welding safety setup. By attaching directly to compatible cape sleeves, it completes the protective barrier for the welder's chest and abdomen, areas frequently exposed to sparks, spatter, and radiant heat during welding operations.

Constructed from high-quality flame-resistant (FR) cotton, the Classic Cloth Bib strikes an optimal balance between durability and operator comfort. Unlike heavy leather alternatives, the FR cloth material allows for greater breathability, significantly reducing operator fatigue caused by heat stress in warm working conditions. The fabric is pre-shrunk and chemically treated to resist ignition, ensuring it meets the safety standards required for general welding and metal fabrication tasks. The 19-inch length is specifically calibrated to provide adequate coverage for the midsection while maintaining freedom of movement for the operator.

Functionality is enhanced through a thoughtful design that includes an adjustable waist belt. This belt closure system provides a "quick easy-on/easy-off" option, allowing the user to secure the bib rapidly without assistance. The adjustability ensures that the bib remains close to the body, preventing loose material from catching on equipment or allowing sparks to enter from the sides. The attachment points are reinforced to withstand repeated snapping and unsnapping, ensuring the bib remains a reliable part of the welder's safety kit over time. This product represents the specific bib component only; cape sleeves are sold separately.
