While protection remains the number one job of all welding safety apparel, comfort and fashion are becoming the differentiators for apparel manufacturers. In other words, you can look "hot" and not be hot while dressed for the job. And while that might not sound important, the ability to have the flexibility while welding is a safety issue, said John Swartz, product manager for Arc Armor and Welding Components & Consumables for Miller Electric Manufacturing Co. (www.millerwelds.com). "Yes, safety apparel has to be functional, but all other industries have made advancements in the look, fit and style, while the welding industry sat still," said Swartz. "Now it's our turn." To achieve that goal, Miller recently introduced a new safety apparel line under the Arc Armor trademarked brand, that gives more freedom to the welder to move in tight spaces, is more comfortable, light weight and attractive. "If you look at our industry, safety equipment hasn't changed that much in 40 years," said Swartz. "Helmets have probably made the biggest leap, but Proban flame retardant fabric has been the industry standard for 'greenie' jackets for a long time. We've created a line of products to improve upon what was already out there."
