Even a 7th grader in an Intro Shop class will attest that wood and metalworking requires full body protection. A quality apron that is resistant to not only high heats but sparking and fire as well is equally as important as eyewear, boots, and gloves, when a proper PPE outfit (Personal Protective Equipment) is concerned. A quality welding apron should always be made of extremely durable leather that won’t ignite if and when sparks catch the apron. Houseables’ leather welding apron is sewn with Kevlar thread (the top choice of seasoned welders) with reinforced stitching at the key stress areas. Even weight distribution for your entire core The dual straps (an X strap across the back complemented by a second fitted strap around the waist) and 42” long apron length give even weight distribution to your entire core, from your chest down to your feet, without hampering your mobility. Aprons lacking a fitted waist strap often become loose and slip, leaving you feeling exposed (think: a grinder grabbing loose hanging material -- obviously never a good thing). Worn properly in conjunction with other safety equipment, safety aprons resist various forms of welding splatter, wood shavings and sawdust debris, and grinding spark spray, while greatly reducing abrasions and burns to your skin and irreparable damage to your clothes in the process.
FIRE-RESISTANT LEATHER: Genuine leather apron is heat and fire resistant to protect your clothing and skin against shooting sparks and debris that are common hazards during hot work such as welding and blacksmithing. Made entirely of soft leather sewn with Kevlar thread (the most trusted reinforcing agent used in protective gear) for extended, comfortable wear.
REINFORCED AT THE STRESS LEVELS: The split cowhide leather is rivet reinforced at all of the stress areas. After many uses, the leather will naturally soften, becoming flexible and less restrictive. This hardwearing material deflects such hazards as welding splatter, grinding spark spray, and sawdust and drilling debris, protecting you and leaving the apron free of damage or mess. Conversely, synthetic fibers can burn vigorously, melt, and produce bad skin burns and abrasions.
TWO STRAPS FOR ADDED PROTECTION: Equipped with an X cross strapping on the back with an additional strap around the waist for a customized fit that won’t slip or loosen. The extra-long length (42”) protects your lap whether you stand or sit while sanding, grinding, and cutting. The two pockets sewn at the chest of the apron keep small tools and accessories close to your person, so you no longer need to survey your entire workstation for a pencil or tape measure when such tools are required.
A MUST HAVE IN EVERY WORKSHOP: For regular use for everything from torch work, metalworking, woodcarving, sanding, plasma cutting, metal art, smelting, this apron is a ‘must have’ in any workshop, be it personal, professional, or educational. Metal shops, steel mills, shipyards, manufacturing plants, automotive centers, and anywhere else that essential protection is most needed.
DURABLE AND LONG-LASTING: Our apron is designed with quality materials to last through all of your heavy-duty projects. Purchase once knowing it will be there for you for years to come!
