270013 - Miller WeldX 18-Inch Flame Resistant Welding Sleeves

High-Performance Arm Protection with Miller WeldX Technology

The Miller 270013 WeldX 18-Inch Sleeves represent a significant advancement in personal protective equipment for professional welders. Designed to bridge the gap between heavy, hot leather and standard flame-resistant cotton, these sleeves utilize Miller's proprietary WeldX fabric. This 7-ounce material is engineered to provide extreme flame-resistant performance, effectively repelling sparks and spatter that would typically damage lesser fabrics. For industrial applications where full jacket coverage may lead to heat stress, these sleeves offer a targeted solution, protecting the vulnerable forearm and bicep areas while allowing the welder's core to remain cooler.

Comfort is a primary focus of the WeldX line. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, significantly reducing operator fatigue during long shifts in warm environments. Unlike leather, which can become stiff and heavy, WeldX moves with the welder, offering unrestricted range of motion essential for precision TIG and MIG work. The 18-inch length ensures generous coverage, extending from the wrist well up the arm, overlapping with standard welding gloves to eliminate dangerous gaps where sparks could enter. Secure placement is guaranteed by durable elastic cuffs at both ends, which prevent the sleeves from sliding down or bunching up during active use.

Durability and maintenance are also key features of the Miller 270013 sleeves. The WeldX fabric is machine washable, allowing for easy cleaning without the loss of its flame-resistant properties, ensuring a long service life and consistent appearance. Furthermore, these sleeves are chromium-free, making them an excellent alternative for users who may have skin sensitivities to the tanning agents used in leather products. Whether used for general fabrication, maintenance, or specialized welding tasks, these sleeves provide the reliable protection professionals demand.
