Mullard83 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 For overalls I liked the Portwest ones as they last a long time & you can get ones with a hood on for if you are crawling under vehicles etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 A leather apron and decent gloves / boots is ideal. In the past, I had a blob of weld fell on my foot, went straight through the top and stuck to my foot. Couldn't get in into a bucket of water fast enough. I also tend to weld with whatever I am wearing in the garage. I also set fire to a T shirt I was welding in. Only when I removed my helmet, I noticed an area of the shirt had disappeared and I had a patch of burnt hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 You can't rely solely on any sort of clothing barrier. Weld splatters will get through. I have fireproof overalls. It all depends on what you are welding, how you are welding and the general setup. Clean metal along with the correct amperage helps but if there is weld splash you need to over shield the weld to deflect the splatter. Long leather gauntlets, welding hood, spats over boots. It ain't any fun getting a weld blob get through a lace hole or anywhere inside you're boot. AND as above, Can't beat the sound & smell of a welding splatter cooking in your ear while under a car welding. Can't you just smell the smoky bacon smell and hear the crackling of ear wax.!!
