Welding Jacket

   / Welding Jacket #51  
Something I discovered about the those bright green welding jackets, is they reflect a lot of light into back side of hood and is very annoying,... I was able to return the green one to retailer (not dirty after only 10 minutes of use) and get a black jacket..... Problem is subtle but it's there, and it is annoying (distracting) ... My thought on bright green is it advertises "look at me, I'm a welder".... But is really not cool when actually welding....

You results may vary with green jacket, but it is not for me...

I been using this Black Stallion welding shirt for a month now, but only welding flat fillets, miles and miles of flat fillets. I haven't notice any reflection but then I'm using a 3M ADD-FLOW welding hood. I use to ware the green shirt but I cant stand that Chinese green color, this blue one is nice with plenty off inside pockets, 2 pencil pocket on sleeves and is true to size.

So now you just have to wear XXL instead of S, just keep saying your only as old as you feel they say that works wonders..........

Last year I was telling a lead-man half my age that it's harder now for me to climb around the deck plates with welding gear, his response was "a welder is a welder age has nothing to do with it", I gave him a talk to the hand sign and waled away. I think he went to jerk training school after he put the white hat on, bout a month later he got fired for soap-opera offenses. Nowadays theres very very few at my age still welding, I'm surrounded by kids and with that blue shirt I stick out, everyone else is wearing chinese green........
