Men's Waist

i went with the medium as that is my average shirt size and when i got it i thought hmm those sleeves are short but everything else fits perfectly. once i tried on my gloves with this and started grind some metal i quickly remembered i usually roll up my long sleeves to keep them out of the way when working so after i realized they were meant to be like that i decided i really like it. nice quality, heavyduty and yet light weight. Not to uncomfortable in the summer yet warm enough in the winter. very comfortable overall. with all the sparks and molten metal i have thrown at it i have not had any holes. I have used it for smaw/stick, gmaw/mig/mag, gtaw/tig welding and haven't been burned yet. Even when grinding i bearly feel the warmth from the sparks, and it even does a decent job protecting against flying wires from a wire wheel, i have only had 2 wires actually penetrate into the skin. After 1 hand wash it shrunk slightly but still feels like new. Ive had it for 6 months welding almost everyday and very little signs of wear. i will buy this again once this one wears out.

Bought this 3 years ago for my husband who welds a moderate amount for his job. Now, two snaps have been damaged beyond use, probably from grinding grit, so I'm getting him another just like it, and also the Bsx Bxrb9C 2Xl Blue With Blue Flames Welding Jacket. He likes the collar which is comfortable and protective, sleeves are good length, pockets provide good place for scribes and pens. Theres a zipper inside pocket as well. He's a big guy, and the XXL fits great and allows good range of movement. there are a few adjustable snaps for fit. Speaking of fit, we noticed that the Bsx Bxrb9C XXL Blue With Blue Flames Welding Jacket runs ever-so-slightly smaller then the jacket on this review, but still an ok fit for XXL. Also the new jacket on this review runs just a tad smaller in the cuffs then the one i bought three years ago. Best thing about this jacket is its lightweight. He welds outdoors in a variety of conditions, most of them hot, but this one doesn't cook him like his leathers do. AND, no one else has a jacket like it! Hubby note: he mentions that the snaps tend to get full of grinding grit and will start to not work well. He has also had a bit of hot metal land on one of the snaps and weld him in. :) But, for the price, a good jacket.

I am writing this review with my husbands use of this jacket in mind. Let me start off by saying he is 6 feet tall and 185 lbs and works out, so his arms are pretty thick- now you can get an idea of his size for reference to what size jacket you might need. We ordered the large hoping it would fit perfectly and it did. He is very happy with the amount of room he has in it after wearing a t-shirt underneath. He can't wear his uniform shirt underneath because it's to thick but he said he wouldn't want to anyways, because this welding jacket is nice and warm. And wearing both would have been too warm. He is a mechanic and works in a big shop which they heat very well so he said he takes his uniform shirt off first. The quality of this jacket is excellent and he has had it now for several months and no issues. He used to come home with bright red "sunburn" looking patches on his neck, arms and top of chest above t-shirt line. But now he is safe from any skin damage. Thank you welding jacket. WE highly recommend this for EVERYONE who welds. Not to mention it should be approved to wear in ANY shop because it is classified as saftey equipment and I don't believe there is any owner/boss stupid enough to tell someone they can't wear protective clothing while welding. Hope this helped. Enjoy and be safe !!!!! If there is something I left out please fill free to ask me via the "comments to review" section. Thanks for your time.

it is a well made jacket it is much more ergonomic than the usual cheap welding jackets in the same rice range. the main issue other canvas jackets like this have is that they are very stiff until they break in which is annoying but this does not have that flaw. as i am a small person i had trouble finding this jacket in anything other than large which was an issue but after having it taken in it has served me well. the inner pockets take some getting used to as it is kind of a pain to have to open the jacket to take anything out of it. personally i wish these jackets had more outside pockets since i usually want my smaller tools (pliers, striker, pencil) on my person so they do not get lost and are easy to access. i found the soapstone pocket all buy useless as it isn't in an easy to access location. as for its fire protection it has protected me well so far and i have welded everything from heavy flux core and stick to tig while wearing this coat without any holes opening up in it. the collar button felt weird at first but does a good job at preventing splatter from entering the jacket. to sum things up this is a very good jacket for the price range if not the best you can buy for under $30 and if taken care of will last a lot longer than similar

It fit perfectly. I ordered a Medium and I am 5'10" 170 lbs. Through the body it was large enough to allow me to move and get into some pretty tight places. The sleeves were long enough to cover my whole arm and for me finding a shirt with long enough arms is often the problem but this one fit very well. It was durable and held up well, but it was also not too heavy. The weight seemed just about right for welding in the heat of summer. Yes, I was hot but not too hot. I never got burned while wearing it, although I did put a couple of holes in it from being under melting slag, so don't do that too much. Overall, it was a great purchase, a great value, that I totally got my money out of it and it's still going.

Nice fit, nice look, acceptable protection.

Esta chaqueta la use para proyectos de soldadura, muy resistente a las chispas del electrodo y a las chispas de corte del metal.

Amplia liviana y resistente, claro depende del tiemponde uso peronse paga buen precio y es excelente protección para el soldador

-sitzt sehr bequem -der hochstehende Kragen ist optimal -leider nach 2 mal waschen zu klein geworden......:-(((((

fits as it should, is black, which is hard to find. Not too keen on the flame deco.
