How to use: Simply put on the welding jacket like you would any other jacket. Make sure all the snaps are closed properly for full protection. The scribe pocket is great for holding your welding tools, and the inside pocket can keep your small items secure. When welding, move freely, and the stretch - back panel will adjust to your movements. Note: This jacket is for light welding applications. Don't use it for heavy - duty welding tasks. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could damage the fabric. Maintenance: You can wash it at home. It's been tested to maintain protection through 50 home washings. Just follow normal washing instructions and let it air dry.
