BOCOMAL FR Shirts Flame Resistant 100% C NFPA2112 7.5oz Men's Fire Retardant Welding Shirt

Needed a FR shirt for work and didn't want to spend a lot. Great value.

I don't understand the negative reviews of some welding with it and instantly getting burned by sparks. Not sure if these are from inexperienced welders and they're welding way too hot or what. I've built a firewood cart and finished up a small dump trailer while wearing this shirt, probably 30-45 min of total weld time, not one burn mark on it. I have welded many times in a short sleave shirt, yeah the sparks sting a little for a couple of seconds but my goodness, I didn't run around telling everybody I got an "ouchie". I mainly purchased this shirt to properly protect my arms from the UV coming off the weld. It was very dumb of me to ever weld in a short sleave shirt (one time in a wife beater, I didn't make that mistake twice). Every welding shirt I've had (expensive ones included), if a big enough spark lands in a fold or otherwise where it can't fall off, it's going to burn a hole through it, period. That is no reason to claim they aren't flame/fire retardant. These are FLAME/FIRE RETARDANT shirts, simply means they are difficult to set on fire. The other complaint I don't understand it about the shirts being too long or too big, they're welding shirts, they're supposed to be that way. I wear XL and ordered XL and it fit like I expected it too. Sleaves plenty long, shirt long and loose fit. I leave it on a hanger in the office of my shop and put it on over whatever shirt I'm wearing when I weld. Button down pockets are a must and these are great. When grinding or cutting I would have to put on my leather apron to keep from wearing out the front of the thighs on my jeans. This shirt is long enough to keep the sparks off my jeans. I wish this shirt had a sleeve pocket for marking tools, that is my only complaint. So, if you're new to welding, give this shirt a try. It will burn through in the right circumstances but that's welding for you.

Great shirt for the price

My shirt did not come with a FR patch on the left arm as the product description says. I'm 185 and 6"1" and I bought my normal size, large. These shirts fit more like an XL or XXL around the waist and chest, and the sleeves are a tad short. I guess that is how they are designed to be, to not restrict movement when welding. But a large size shirt with a 51" chest is waaaay too loose fitting. Even before when I was like 240-250 lbs. this size large would be loose on me. The material is quit stiff and starchy. Not a lot of softness as the description says. I just washed my shirt and these shirts also wrinkle like crazy and the collar curls up which is annoying to deal with. There is pretty much no shrinkage after a warm wash with medium heat drying. Was kind of hoping the shirt would shrink a little. I did buy a medium 8.5oz heavyweight welding shirt (the ones that come with an optional button-on hood.) The fabric on those are A LOT softer. The sleeves are definitely too short on the 8.5oz heavyweight version of these shirts. They do not offer a medium tall option which I think would fit me perfectly. Besides all that, the pattern and colors are really nice. The Plaid Red/Black looks really sharp. I will try out the lightweight 6.25oz version of these shirts. Overall, the quality is what you expect from an inexpensive FR shirt from Amazon. Ariat and Carhartt charge way too much for their FR clothing. BOCOMAL made sense to me because when welding, I don't want to potentially put burn holes in a $120 shirt.

Lightweight and very comfortable. The snap buttons are a plus. I especially like that it's snug at the wrists so work gloves can easily slide right over.

fits just right. well made

Ordered the 3XL first because I wanted it on the larger side (I wear 2X or 3X depending on brand). It was huge! I felt like a kid wearing my dad’s shirt. Return it and got the 2XL. The 2XL fits great, like I would have expected the 3XL to fit, EXCEPT the neck and wrists are SO tight. I can only button up to the third from the top button on the neck, and the second button from the end on the wrists, while the rest of the shirt fits great. The tailoring really does not make sense to me. While the fabric feels great and and the stitching seems good so far, one of the breast pocket buttons fell off the first time I opened it.

Diseñadas para trabajo de uso rudo ideal para la construcción mecanica muy duraderas y resistente aguantan lavadas constantes sin deformarse suelen tener bolsillos útiles para el trabajo

Super recomendable, soy soldador y he usado decenas de yompas y ninguna se iguala a esta es super resistente a las chispas no como las de mezclilla, me han caído chispas de soldadura y de esperilado y hasta ahora no tiene ningun agujero una yompa normal ya estaría totalmente agujerada, ojo no digo que no entren si la pasan pero no dejaningun agujero

Good fit, quality and comfortable . I will purchase again in the future.

very nice shirt as it looks in photos

Excelente.
