I have just about destroyed the left sleeve of my current pair of overalls with spatter, just above where my gauntlet ends.
For the past 12 years, I got several pairs of free Roots Flamebusters from work each year, and didn't need to worry about such things... Alas, a promotion has done away with such perks.
So if i'm spending £100 of my own money on overalls (because I have been spoiled and absolutely want to keep using Roots), then I want them to hold.
I was eyeing up the Hot-Workerwelding specific overalls, but wondered if they actually hold up to abuse any better than the regular weight FR overalls know and love.
I do have leather welding jacket I use for really brutal stuff, but it's hot as hell to wear, and I usually find it pretty warm wearing just a pair of rugby shorts under my ovies, well into the autumn.
