21100 - Sellstrom Leather Welding Helmet Bib with Velcro Attachment

Sellstrom 21100 Leather Helmet Bib Overview

The Sellstrom 21100 Leather Helmet Bib is a specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) accessory designed to enhance the safety profile of standard welding helmets. Constructed from high-quality split leather, this bib provides a robust barrier against the intense heat, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and molten spatter generated during arc welding processes. It is specifically engineered to cover the vulnerable neck and upper chest areas, which are often exposed by the gap between the bottom of the welding helmet and the welder's protective jacket.

Installation of the bib is achieved through a universal Velcro attachment system. This design choice ensures compatibility with a wide array of welding helmet shells, regardless of the manufacturer. The leather material is selected for its inherent flame-resistant properties and durability in industrial environments. By attaching securely to the lower rim of the helmet, the bib effectively extends the protective envelope of the headgear, mitigating the risk of second and third-degree burns caused by direct UV exposure or trapped slag.

This accessory is particularly critical for applications involving overhead welding or high-amperage processes where spatter volume is significant. The Sellstrom 21100 maintains the welder's comfort by being lightweight and flexible, ensuring that head movement is not restricted during operation. It represents a cost-effective upgrade to safety compliance, addressing common gaps in welder protection.
