Keep your torso safe and secure thanks to Engweld's reliable range of welding jackets, often referred to as welders' jackets. Protective, comfortable and durable, all the welding jackets you see above are from trusted names in welding and crafted using popular materials like leather, so purchase your welding jacket online here today for delivery to your door.
Welders jackets have the advantage of being one piece of safety equipment that will cover a number of different areas, including the torso, shoulders, arms, neck and back, like no other piece of equipment on the market.
Jackets can range in material from leather all the way through to complete fire-proofed wool, as well as everything in between - dependant on the temperature of the environment that work is being carried out. Often, a leather jacket is the favoured pick for welders, with a split leather design always a popular choice.
A welders jacket will be fire-proofed material as standard and give a user ideal mobility, even when fully closed. The coverage area of a good welders jacket will protect against heat from flames, as well as protection from any stray scrap, molten metal or projectiles whilst on a job.
The welding industry is one that recognises the importance of safety equipment like no other, with workers understanding how PPE safety equipment is mandatory, so it’s unlikely anyone you know or work with will be skipping on the correct safety gear.
Every piece of welding equipment, welding jackets included, must meet the EN ISO 11611 regulation - this is an industry standard for welding clothing and something that must be abided by when companies are creating safety jackets.
All forms of welding protection will have been thoroughly tested to withstand repeated washings to ensure that it’s completely safe from the day of purpose up to and past the hundreth wash.
When purchasing a new welders jacket, be sure to take your time and make sure that any potential purchase meets the required safety standards.
Outside of these industry standards that a welders jacket is required to have, both the comfort and fit are equally as important to ensure your productivity levels are at a high and you can keep going all day.
Be sure to try on your jacket of choice to determine if it fits nicely and will allow you to carry out your work in a controlled manner. Consider additional features like anti static materials and split leather jacket styles.
