270307003 - Miller Indura Cloth Hooded Welding Jacket - Bark, Large

Premium Flame-Resistant Industrial Apparel

The Miller 270307003 is a high-performance welding jacket designed for professionals who require both safety and comfort in light-to-medium duty welding applications. This garment represents a significant evolution in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), moving away from heavy, non-breathable leathers towards advanced textiles that offer certified protection without the fatigue associated with heavier gear. The jacket is constructed from 9 oz. Indura® cotton, a flame-resistant fabric that is chemically treated to self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, thereby preventing the spread of burns.

Durability is a key component of the design. The garment is stitched entirely with Nomex® thread, which is inherently heat and flame resistant, ensuring that the seams do not fail under thermal stress. The 'Washed' designation indicates that the fabric has undergone a pre-shrinking and softening process, which not only improves the immediate tactile comfort for the wearer but also ensures that the sizing remains consistent after laundering. This specific model features a 'Bark' colorway, a practical earth tone that effectively masks workshop grime, oil, and dust, maintaining a professional appearance for longer periods.

Functionally, the inclusion of an integrated hood distinguishes this jacket from standard welding coats. The hood provides critical coverage for the neck, ears, and back of the head—areas often exposed to stray sparks and UV radiation during overhead or out-of-position welding. The front closure system is designed to prevent spark intrusion, and the jacket includes an internal pocket for secure storage. It is an ideal solution for TIG welding, light MIG applications, and general shop fabrication where dexterity and mobility are paramount.
