STEINER 12165 Leather Welding Bib Apron 36 x 24 In Personal Protective Equipment

Leather Welding Bib Apron

The STEINER 12165 is a leather bib apron designed for welders and metalworkers who need front-body protection from flames, metal spatter, radiant heat and sparks. It uses premium split leather weighing 3 oz per square foot and is made in the USA from domestic leather. The universal size fits a wide range of body types for general workshop use.

Dimensions and Coverage

The apron measures 36 inches in length and 24 inches in width, setting the total coverage area for the torso and upper legs. This single measurement decides whether the garment protects the required zone for a specific task or wearer height. No sleeves are included, so arm exposure remains a separate consideration.

Adjustable Tie Closures

Neck and waist closures use simple tie straps that allow quick fitting without buckles or hardware that can heat up. Brass grommets reinforce the tie points against tearing, and Kevlar stitching resists seam burnout during prolonged heat exposure. The open-back design eases donning but offers no rear protection.

Not for full-body or sleeved requirements

Buyers who need arm coverage or back protection should look elsewhere, as this bib apron leaves the shoulders, arms and rear exposed. It also lacks pockets, so workers who must carry small tools or consumables on the garment will need an alternative arrangement.
