What are commonly made from leather to protect welders' legs?

Coveralls
Sleeves
Chaps
Pant guards

The correct answer is: Chaps

Chaps are specifically designed to protect welders' legs from the hazards associated with welding, such as hot sparks, intense heat, and molten metal. Made from durable leather, they effectively shield the skin, providing a protective barrier that reduces the risk of burns and injuries during welding operations. Chaps cover the front of the legs and often have straps that secure them in place, ensuring they stay in position while allowing for ease of movement and flexibility, which is essential for welders while they work. Other options, while relevant to personal protective equipment, do not offer the same level of leg protection specifically tailored for welding. For instance, coveralls provide all-over body protection, sleeves protect the arms, and pant guards offer limited coverage. However, chaps are uniquely suited for welders, as they specifically address the safety concerns of their leg exposure in a welding environment.
