Product Review

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. 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. Our robust leather apron is suitable for all various hardware environments. Examples include multiple methods of welding, carving, cutting and turning wood, shaping iron, pounding steel, crafting jewelry art out of metal and stone, plasma cutting, scrapping junked out automobiles for extra cash, trying not to cut off a finger while you build that mediocre gun rack in shop class, any and all types of heavy labor works. If you're wearing protective goggles and gloves, you should definitely be wearing an apron.
