by Here’s something we don’t always think about. You have your nice flame design helmet, you have you sturdy trusty gloves, high viz shirt, steel cap boots…but what about your legs?
Our friends at Elliotts have this quick guide to help you decide on leg protection for you and your workers.
Selecting The Right Welding Gear To Protect Legs
Are you looking for additional protection for your legs on your next welding job? At Elliotts, we understand that some jobs require additional protection for yourself and/or your workers. We offer an extensive range of gear to suit all types of welding.
WELDING TROUSERS
There are a few different options when it comes to trousers. In our Big Red Range, you can choose either Full Seat or Seatless Trouser or for a more breathable option – Chaps. Elliotts’ BIG RED® welders apparel uses soft, premium, selected red butt BIG RED® leather, which is extremely durable, flame resistant and offers excellent protection from welding spatter and dross.
When deciding, the choice ultimately comes down to comfort and preference. Here are the options:
Big Red® Welders Full Seat Trousers
The Big Red® Full Seat Welding Trousers are designed for heavy-duty welding and to be worn comfortably over your work trousers. The full seat design offers maximum protection, and the articulated knee design allows for greater movement and comfort.
