247115 - Miller WeldX FR Welding Jacket Medium

High-Performance FR Protection Without the Weight

The Miller 247115 WeldX Performance Welding Jacket in Medium represents a significant advancement in personal protective equipment (PPE) for industrial welders. Designed to bridge the gap between heavy leather garments and standard flame-resistant cotton, this jacket utilizes Miller's proprietary WeldX fabric. The front and sleeves are constructed from 7 oz. WeldX material, a high-performance compound that repels sparks, spatter, and molten metals with the efficacy of leather but without the associated bulk or heat retention. This strategic placement ensures that the areas most exposed to the arc receive maximum protection, while the back panel is crafted from 9 oz. flame-resistant Navy cotton to facilitate heat dissipation.

Engineered for Industrial Environments

Durability and safety are paramount in the design of the 247115. The fabric possesses extreme flame-resistant properties; it is engineered to never burn, melt, ignite, or shrink, even under rigorous welding conditions. Unlike leather, which can become stiff or retain odors over time, the WeldX jacket is machine washable, allowing for easy maintenance without degrading its protective qualities. Furthermore, the material is chromium-free, addressing environmental concerns regarding disposal that are often associated with tanned leather products. The garment features finished hems and reinforced stitching throughout, ensuring it withstands the mechanical stress of daily industrial use.

Ergonomics and Fit

Operator comfort is directly tied to productivity, and Miller has incorporated several features to enhance wearability. The jacket includes a vented back structure that promotes air circulation, crucial for welders working in hot environments or for extended periods. A "barracuda" style stand-up collar provides essential neck coverage, protecting against arc rays and flying debris. The closure system utilizes a zipper covered by a Velcro storm flap, creating a secure seal that prevents sparks from entering the jacket. Additional ergonomic details include fold-in sleeve snaps for a tailored fit around the wrists and lined sleeves that offer an extra layer of defense against heat transmission. This Medium size jacket is pre-shrunk to maintain its dimensions and fit over its lifespan.
