TTU390 - 6-Inch Leather Welding Spats with Kevlar Stitching

Heavy-Duty Footwear Protection for Industrial Welders

The Techniweld TTU390 Leather Spats are an essential addition to any professional welder's personal protective equipment (PPE) arsenal. Designed to bridge the gap between the welding pant cuff and the work boot, these 6-inch spats provide critical protection against the ingress of hot slag, sparks, and molten metal spatter. In industrial environments where overhead or vertical welding is common, the risk of falling debris entering the footwear is significant. These spats effectively seal this vulnerable area, ensuring operator safety and compliance with workplace safety standards.

Manufactured from high-quality brown split cowhide leather, these spats are built to withstand the rigorous demands of daily industrial use. Leather is the material of choice for welding applications due to its natural non-flammability and resistance to abrasion. Unlike synthetic materials that may melt or degrade when exposed to high heat, this leather barrier deflects thermal hazards, keeping the underlying footwear intact. The 6-inch height is specifically optimized to cover the laces and the tongue of the boot—areas that are notoriously difficult to protect and prone to catching sparks.

A defining feature of the TTU390 model is the use of Kevlar stitching throughout the construction. Standard cotton or nylon threads can easily burn away when contacted by hot spatter, leading to seam failure and reduced product lifespan. Kevlar thread is inherently heat-resistant and incredibly strong, ensuring that the structural integrity of the spat is maintained even in high-temperature environments. This attention to detail reduces replacement frequency and offers better long-term value for procurement departments.

These spats are designed as a "one size fits most" solution, featuring adjustable closures that allow them to be secured firmly around various boot styles and ankle sizes. Whether used in a fabrication shop, foundry, or on a construction site, the Techniweld TTU390 spats provide reliable, durable protection that safeguards both the worker and their equipment.
