Hobart 770568 Flame Retardant Cotton Welding Jacket Review

This Dark Gray lightweight jacket with long sleeves was made using flame retardant cotton, it features no lining, and heavy-duty snaps providing excellent coverage. It weighs 1 pound and a size of 9.9 x 1.3 x 1.3. It also features a pocket on the inside of the jacket.

Pros
  • The jacket is light-weight which affords for easy mobility, highly suitable for light and medium construction work, it is most suitable for tack welding, grinding and MIG. The price is also pocket-friendly.

Cons
  • It is most ideal in warmer temperatures and not colder temperatures. You cannot count on this jacket if your work will get you exposed to hot sparks as it is ineffective in deflecting them.

Verdict.

​Hobart has delivered yet another cotton jacket that provides reasonable protection at a pocket-friendly price, although I have used this jacket for all kinds of welding from light scale domestic welding to commercial welder work and I have been protected. I will not recommend it for heavy welding work because of its cotton material.
