OVERVIEW

Premium Protection with the Optrel Leather Chest Protector

The Optrel Leather Chest Protector (4028.015) is an essential accessory for professional welders seeking maximum coverage and safety. Designed to address the common issue of exposure in the neck and upper chest region, this high-quality leather bib integrates seamlessly with your existing personal protective equipment. Manufactured by Optrel, a leader in welding safety technology, this chest protector is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial environments while maintaining the comfort and balance of your welding helmet.

Constructed from premium cowhide leather, the protector offers superior resistance to molten spatter, sparks, and radiant heat compared to synthetic or cotton alternatives. Leather is the material of choice for heavy-duty welding applications due to its durability and natural fire-retardant properties. This specific accessory is designed to hang from the front of the hood, effectively closing the gap between the helmet and the welder's jacket, a critical zone often susceptible to UV burns and stray sparks.

One of the standout features of the Optrel 4028.015 is its universal compatibility. It is designed to fit all Optrel welding helmet models. The attachment mechanism utilizes a secure press-fit system that seats firmly around the bottom ridge of the helmet. This ensures that the bib remains in place even when the helmet is raised or lowered, providing consistent protection without requiring constant adjustment. Whether you are using a Crystal 2.0, Panoramaxx, or an e684, this leather chest protector is the perfect add-on to enhance your safety setup.

At Josef Gas, we understand that welder safety is paramount. Adding this leather bib to your gear not only prevents painful burns but also protects your clothing and reduces the long-term risks associated with UV exposure to the skin. It is lightweight enough to not affect the balance of the helmet, ensuring that you can work comfortably for long shifts. Invest in the Optrel Leather Chest Protector to complete your safety envelope and weld with confidence.
