Welding Jacket recommends

[robs660]

Miller has come out with some real nice jackets this year. They have great lightweight fabric ones and also a fabric body with leather sleeves. I have both and both are great. I'm not a fan of full leather - when I am getting into something hot or really out of position I like the leather sleeves. Other than that it's just the plain fabric.

I have a Miller mig and a lincoln jacket. Leather sleeves with fabric body.

Very nice and inexpensive.

I have a $24 Miller and a better quality Dickie (now 15 years old) which cost quite a bit more. Both lightweight. Terry

Hey everyone.

For Xmas my BIL has requested a quality welding jacket. Something lightweight. He sweats like a pig. Oh, he is also as big as a house (xxxl). Any recommendations? I just ruin my clothes and upset my wife.

Oh, he owns a Miller so a nice red Lincoln will not fly (and this is not to start a fight).

I use this Tillman jacket

Comfortable and does the job protecting my vulnerable parts.

Good luck

Same one I've been using for about 3-4 years now, purchased locally from the LWS. Definitely recommend it.
