A welding leg guard is a protective garment designed to shield the legs from sparks, heat, and molten metal during welding, cutting, or grinding operations. Typically made from durable, heat-resistant materials such as leather, flame-retardant fabric, or aluminized fabric, welding leg guards provide essential protection for workers in environments where exposure to high temperatures and flying debris is common.
The leg guard is worn over the lower part of the body, often secured with adjustable straps or Velcro for a secure and comfortable fit. It covers the legs and ankles, offering protection from burns, abrasions, and potential injuries caused by hot metal spatter. Welding leg guards are lightweight and flexible, allowing for ease of movement while maintaining high levels of safety. They are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and metalworking where welding activities are prevalent.
