Hybrid Welder’s Trousers RHT Leather & Cotton Back

The perfect combination of high protection and freedom of movement

Modern welding requires equipment capable of blocking thermal spatter without restricting precision of movement. This hybrid trousers, designed by EDC Protection, is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), developed to meet the toughest working environments.

The strength of this model lies in its strategic dual-material design: the front, particularly exposed to spark impacts, is fully protected by high-performance leather, while the back and waistband use flame-retardant treated cotton. This architecture significantly reduces occupational fatigue by providing optimal thermal regulation where heat builds up, without ever sacrificing the front safety barrier.

Innovative materials for long-lasting resistance

The durability of this equipment is based on the integration of technical components rigorously selected for their behavior against thermal aggressions:

• RHT-treated split leather (High Temperature Resistance): Unlike standard leather, which tends to “harden” — becoming stiff and brittle — under the effect of heat, the RHT treatment preserves the flexibility of the fiber. For professionals, this guarantees a garment that remains protective and flexible twice as long, making this investment particularly cost-effective over time.
• Kevlar® thread seams: To prevent any risk of structural failure, the entire trousers is assembled with Kevlar® thread. This material ensures that tension areas do not break down under the effect of molten metal spatter, guaranteeing the integrity of the PPE throughout its service life.

Certified protection compliant with safety requirements

Regulatory compliance is the foundation of confidence in the workshop. These trousers are certified according to the strictest protocols to guarantee reliable protection against thermal risks:

• EN ISO 11611 A1 Class 1 standard: This international certification validates the garment’s ability to protect the user’s body during manual welding operations and related techniques such as oxy-fuel cutting.
• CE marking: It certifies that the product strictly complies with the essential safety requirements of European legislation for Category 2 PPE.

A design created for welders’ everyday needs

The ergonomics of these trousers have been designed to support the welder in the most demanding positions, limiting friction points and optimizing concentration:

• Secure fastening system: The trousers feature a snap-button closure hidden under a flap, a design that eliminates any gap where slag or sparks could become lodged.
• Technical adjustment: The waistband is equipped with 5 sturdy belt loops, ensuring stable support of the PPE regardless of the operator’s posture.
• Thermal regulation: The use of 100% flame-retardant treated cotton on the back section helps evacuate body heat. This increased breathability preserves worker comfort during prolonged sessions.
• Availability and made-to-measure: Offered in a wide range of sizes from XS to XXXL, this model is also available as made-to-measure, guaranteeing protection perfectly adapted to each body shape for maximum safety.

Care guide and expert recommendations

To maintain the protective performance of your equipment, we recommend following these safety instructions:

• Specific use: This garment is exclusively intended for welding and oxy-fuel cutting operations.
• Risk assessment: Before any use for an alternative application, a precise risk assessment of your working environment is essential.
