PWGFRXXXXL - Green FR Cotton Welding Coat 4XL - 9oz Lightweight Protection

Technical Overview

The Pro-Weld Green Fire Retardant (FR) Cotton Welding Jacket is engineered to provide essential torso and arm protection for personnel engaged in light-to-medium duty welding and fabrication processes. Manufactured from 9-ounce cotton fabric, the material is chemically treated to resist ignition and self-extinguish upon removal of the flame source, adhering to standard safety protocols for secondary protective apparel. This specific SKU is sized as 4XL, catering to operators requiring extended chest and shoulder dimensions or accommodating bulky underlayers in colder facility environments.

The jacket features a full-length front closure system utilizing high-durability, dielectric-coated metal snaps. This design choice facilitates rapid donning and doffing—a critical safety feature in the event of emergency removal. The 9 oz. fabric weight strikes an optimal balance between physical durability and thermal management, offering sufficient density to deflect minor spatter and block harmful UV radiation generated during the arc welding process, specifically TIG and low-amperage MIG operations. The garment is tailored with a collar that can be flipped up to protect the neck area from arc burn and debris.

Structurally, the jacket includes hemmed cuffs and a finished waist to prevent fraying and extend service life. An internal pocket is integrated into the design, providing a secure location for soapstone, scribes, or personal items, shielded from direct exposure to sparks. While not a replacement for leather in heavy slag or overhead applications, this FR cotton jacket serves as a primary barrier against radiant heat and incidental sparks in controlled shop environments.
