Arccaptain Kids Gift Set

Kids Welding Kit —
FR Jacket, Cowhide Gloves & Apron

Name: Kids Welding Kit
Brand: Arccaptain
Availability: InStock

Kids who grow up around welding don't want to watch from the sidelines. They want to be part of the project. This three-piece welding protection kit is built specifically for that — real flame-resistant protection, properly sized for children, so they can stand at the bench, help with prep work, and participate in family shop time without the safety concerns that come with adult-sized gear that doesn't fit.

It's also the welding gift that actually makes sense for a kid who loves tools, builds things, or has a parent who welds. The jacket meets NFPA 2112 standards and holds its FR rating for 50+ washes. The gloves are 100% cowhide with protection rated to 662°F. The apron adds full torso and leg coverage. Together they're a complete setup that treats your child's safety as seriously as adult PPE — just sized for them.

What's in the Kit

Three Pieces, Full Coverage

Each piece in this kit is built to the same standard as adult protective gear — FR rated, properly constructed, and designed to stay protective through real use and repeated washing.

Flame-Resistant Jacket NFPA 2112

The jacket is the centerpiece of the kit. Made from breathable, water-resistant FR cotton with insulating snap buttons — the kind of construction that actually holds up in a shop environment rather than looking like protection without providing it. An integrated D-ring lets kids attach small tools or markers. Adjustable cuffs fit different arm sizes and keep the sleeves in place during hands-on work. The color-blocked collar adds a finished, purposeful look.

The FR rating is maintained after 50 wash cycles — the jacket stays protective through the months and years of regular use a growing child will put it through, not just the first few wears out of the box.

Cowhide Welding Gloves Rated to 662°F

These aren't toy gloves. The outer shell is 100% heavy-duty cowhide — the same material used in adult welding gloves — with double-layer flame-resistant padding throughout the palm and fingers. Heat protection is rated to 662°F (350°C), covering the temperature range produced by welding spatter, grinding sparks, and hot metal surfaces. Sharp edge protection is built into the cowhide construction as well.

A soft cotton lining makes them comfortable to wear for extended periods without the irritation that stiff leather gloves can cause on smaller hands. Adjustable straps at the cuff keep the gloves secured to smaller wrists so they don't shift during movement.

Protective Apron FR + Water Resistant

The apron extends protection to the torso and legs — the area a jacket alone doesn't cover when bending, kneeling, or working at a bench. It's flame-resistant and water-resistant, so it handles both sparks and the cutting fluids, coolants, or oil that come with any hands-on shop environment. Reinforced stitching at stress points keeps it intact through regular use and washing.

Worn over the jacket, the apron creates a layered protection system that covers the areas most exposed during typical observation and light hands-on work alongside an adult welder or fabricator.

More Than Protective Gear

A Gift That Opens the Door to the Shop

Kids who watch parents and grandparents weld, build, and fabricate aren't just watching. They're forming a connection to the craft and to the person doing it. The right gear is what makes it possible for them to step in safely — turning observation into participation, and participation into a skill and a memory they'll carry for life.

Real Safety Standards

NFPA 2112 jacket, 662°F-rated cowhide gloves, FR apron. Not costume-grade gear — actual protective equipment scaled to a child's size.

Hands-On Learning

Shop time alongside a skilled adult is some of the most valuable time a kid can spend. The right gear removes the safety barrier that keeps them on the wrong side of the bench.

Complete from Day One

Jacket, gloves, and apron together. No separate purchases, no missing piece. Open the box and they're set up.

Confidence Builder

Wearing proper gear — the same way adults do — gives kids a sense of responsibility and belonging that builds confidence in ways that extend well beyond the shop.

Size Guide

Choose the Right Kit for Your Child

Each Kit number corresponds to a height range. Measure your child's height and choose the kit that matches. When your child falls between two kits, size up for room to grow and a comfortable fit over a long-sleeve base layer.

Welding Gift Kit 01

Height: 3'7" – 3'11" Jacket Size 6

Welding Gift Kit 02

Height: 3'11" – 4'3" Jacket Size 8

Welding Gift Kit 03

Height: 3'11" – 4'3" Jacket Size 10

Welding Gift Kit 04

Height: 4'3" – 4'7" Jacket Size 12

Welding Gift Kit 05

Height: 4'7" – 4'11" Jacket Size 14

Welding Gift Kit 06

Height: 4'11" – 5'3" Jacket Size 14+

Sizing tip: If your child is between kit sizes or currently between sizes 8 and 10 (both listed at 3'11"–4'3"), choose based on build — Kit 02 for slimmer frames, Kit 03 for average to broader builds. When in doubt, size up to allow for a base layer underneath.

Jacket Measurements

Welding Jacket Size Chart

All measurements are in inches and reflect the jacket's actual dimensions. For the best fit over a long-sleeve shirt or base layer, compare your child's chest measurement to the chest column and size up one if close to the boundary.

Size	Front Length	Chest	Hem	Shoulder	Sleeve Length	Cuff	Sleeve Width
6	7.44 in	12.87 in	12.87 in	5.19 in	6.82 in	3.72 in	4.65 in
8	8.06 in	13.48 in	13.48 in	5.35 in	7.44 in	3.87 in	4.80 in
10	8.67 in	14.11 in	14.11 in	5.50 in	8.06 in	4.03 in	4.96 in
12	9.29 in	14.72 in	14.72 in	5.65 in	8.67 in	4.18 in	5.12 in
14	9.92 in	15.35 in	15.35 in	5.81 in	9.29 in	4.34 in	5.27 in

How to measure: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level under the arms. Compare to the Chest column above. The jacket is sized to fit comfortably over light clothing — a base layer or long-sleeve shirt fits underneath all sizes.

Perfect For

When This Kit Makes Sense

This kit works for a specific kind of kid and a specific kind of family — one where the shop is already part of life, or about to be.

Kids Who Want to Help in the Shop

When children grow up watching a parent weld, they eventually want to do more than watch. This kit gives them the protection they need to stand at the bench, hold parts, hand tools, and participate in real projects — with the gear to back it up.

Birthday & Holiday Gifts

A complete welding kit is the kind of gift a kid doesn't expect and doesn't forget. It signals real trust, real responsibility, and real participation — the opposite of another toy that gets ignored after a week.

Father–Child Shop Days

Matching gear with a parent or grandparent makes shop time feel like a shared identity, not just supervision. The jacket and gloves make a child look and feel like they belong at the bench.

Vocational & STEM Programs

Schools and after-school programs introducing kids to fabrication, metalwork, or maker activities need proper PPE sized for children. This kit provides a complete, standards-compliant solution in one package.

DIY Family Projects

Backyard builds, home renovations, car restorations — any family project that involves heat, sparks, or cutting benefits from having properly protected helpers. Kids who participate in real projects develop skills and confidence that stick.

Kids Aged Approximately 6–14

Six kit size options cover children from 3'7" up to 5'3" — roughly ages 6 through 14 depending on build. The adjustable features (cuffs, glove straps) accommodate the size variation within each height range.

Important

PPE Is the Starting Point, Not the Whole Picture

This kit provides genuine flame-resistant and heat-resistant protection that meets the same standards as adult PPE. It is designed for children participating in welding-adjacent activities under direct adult supervision — not for unsupervised welding.

Adult Supervision Required at All Times

This kit equips children with appropriate protective gear for supervised participation in welding and fabrication environments. It does not substitute for adult oversight. Children wearing this kit should always be directly supervised by a qualified adult when near active welding, grinding, or cutting operations. Proper protective gear significantly reduces risk — it does not eliminate it. Always ensure the welding environment is appropriate for the child's age, size, and level of involvement before allowing participation.

Care note for the jacket: Machine wash in cold or warm water without bleach or fabric softener to preserve the FR rating. Tumble dry on low. Inspect for damage before each use — holes, tears, or thinning fabric reduce protection and the jacket should be replaced if significantly worn.
