This is the jacket I wear.

I also wear an undershirt and a regular work shirt when I weld. I know it sounds crazy to weld in two shirts, but it will keep you cooler. The undershirt soaks up all the sweat while the work shirt stays dry. It traps air along with the sweat keeps you cooler.

That BSX shirt is made of the same material mine is and it's letting the hot stuff through on a regular basis now. I think I'll just augment it with sleeves. The LWS has some miller sleeves I think I'll get in a couple weeks.

I have always used a leather jacket and gloves. Not only protects when welding but also when grinding, cutting, etc.. I have never really thought much about the comfort part, I always lean towards safety first. Short of a leather moon suit there will always be some errant "ember" that finds a way in! Like Mark said, you can always jump around after the welds done.

I have been having a lot of "fun" lately with powered wire wheels shedding wires. Found them stuck in shoes, pants, gloves and jacket. It has sure taught me the value of full body protection head to toe. It has only been 105 to 110 in my shop lately.
