What is the right size welding jacket for me?
Typically, welding jackets are given a standard size (S, M, L, XL) that’s based on your chest measurement. To find your size without having the option to try, you’ll need to wrap a tape measure under your armpits and around the bulkiest part of your chest. It’s important to ensure the tape measure is snug, but not so tight that it presses into your skin, leaving red marks or constricting your breathing. Also, be careful to relax during the measurement (e.g. don’t puff out your chest), as this can throw off the true measurement. Once you have the measurement, compare it to the sizing chart of your choice of welding jacket to get the correct size for your welding needs.

The best way to verify which size is right for you is by matching your chest measurement with the size chart of the product. If the jacket fits your chest, it will most probably fit best to your body overall.

As a side note, it should be noted that if you have a larger-than-average belly, you may want to substitute a belly measurement for the chest measurement. The reason is that you may find it difficult to button or zip up your jacket when it comes time to weld, limiting your mobility and making it difficult to feel comfortable. The process to obtain a belly measurement is almost the same, but you’ll want to run the tape around your belly button instead. Additionally, you’ll want to avoid measuring around the hips, as this area tends to be thinner than your true girth.
