280358003 - Miller Electric Black Packable Puffer Vest - Large

Product Overview

The Miller Packable Puffer Vest (Part Number: 280358003) is a versatile piece of branded apparel designed for comfort, warmth, and convenience. Sized Large and finished in a professional black color, this vest is an excellent addition to any welder's or tradesperson's wardrobe. Unlike heavy work jackets, this puffer vest focuses on core insulation, keeping the chest and back warm while leaving the arms completely free for unrestricted movement. This makes it particularly useful for tasks that require dexterity or for layering under heavier outer shells during extreme cold.

Material and Design

Constructed with a durable synthetic outer shell and lightweight insulation, the vest provides an effective barrier against the cold without adding unnecessary bulk. The 'puffer' style utilizes baffled chambers to hold the insulation in place, ensuring consistent warmth distribution across the torso. The full-length front zipper allows for easy temperature regulation—zip it up to the chin for maximum heat retention or leave it open for ventilation. The stand-up collar offers additional protection for the neck against drafts and wind.

Packability and Storage

A defining feature of this model is its packability. Designed for the mobile professional, the vest can be compressed down to a fraction of its size, making it easy to stow in a welding gear bag, backpack, or truck console. This ensures that you always have an extra layer of warmth available when conditions change. The vest also features zippered hand pockets, providing a secure place to keep keys, phones, or other small essentials while on the job or on the go.

Branding and Fit

As an official Miller Electric product, this vest sports the iconic Miller logo, allowing users to display their brand preference and professional affiliation. The Large size is designed to fit comfortably over a standard t-shirt or flannel shirt. While it is a stylish and functional garment, users should note that this is general apparel and not Flame Resistant (FR) safety gear; it should be worn appropriately in safe environments or under proper PPE when welding.
