Twelve hours in a respirator. The belt should be the easy part.

The stock belt sags, digs into your gut, and swings when you bend.

Fourteen years on WA mine sites went into fixing that.

Why it exists

Fourteen years in a respirator.

FabPro started as flat-pack welding table kits cut in our Perth shop. Then came the gear. After fourteen years in the mining industry, most of it wearing a 3M Adflo, there was a long list of things we wanted different. The stock belt was first. Then a lighter jacket that works with any belt-mounted respirator. Pants, shirts, and better gloves are next.

From the shop floor

77 welders. 4.8 stars.

Within 5 minutes of putting it on I was wondering why I hadn't bought one years ago. You can tell it's been designed by someone who actually works in the trade.

Josh G.Welding Belt

Way better than the standard 3M belt, quick and easy to put on and easy adjustment. No digging into the ribs.

Reece M.Welding Belt

Incredibly comfortable, provides much better support, and stays securely in place throughout a full shift.

Jay R.Welding Belt

Somehow you have made it so that the Adflo pack is like it does not exist on the belt. Yours being elastic moves with me when I bend over.

Robert B.Welding Belt

I just literally can't believe I wore the other leather belt for 5 years.

Alastair W.Welding Belt

Fabpro harness delivered what it advertised, comfortability, practicality and reasonably priced!

Straight answers

Before you buy.

Will it fit my respirator?

It is designed for the 3M Adflo and works with most belt-mounted PAPR blowers. If your unit clips to a belt, it fits.

Which belt size?

Medium for a 32 inch waist and under. Large for over 32 inches. Both adjust at the buckle.

Which jacket size?

Medium to XX-Large, true to size. The front already drops 100mm lower than a standard jacket, so there is no need to size up for coverage.

Is it really better than the stock belt?

Seventy-seven welders have answered that one. The short version from the reviews: no digging into the ribs, and the pack stays put for a full shift.

How fast does it ship?

Belts and jackets leave the shop within 24 hours. Tables are laser cut to order, so allow up to 2 weeks if your size is not on the shelf.

What if it does not work for me?

Send it back within 30 days.
