48willys Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I hate to ask somthing stupid like this , but I was looking at this and this do you think the last one is worth paying a extra $10.00 for (looks like better straps)or are both over priced for what they are?

David E. Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have one similar, with crossover straps which I find much more comfortable than those with neck straps. These look as if there is not much between them, If it was me I would go with the cheapest, the price is OK. BTW I wear mine everyday and love it, it is from Weldas in USA.

rustyshackleford Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 That's the one I have, it looks lots nicer than that photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 That's the one I bought. I find the split leg quite a nice feature. Usually just fasten them around the bottom though. They also have straps that are designed to fasten futher up around the thigh, but I find those ones a nuisance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odleo Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I bought mine at Habor Frieght for about 20.00. Not fancy but it seems to serve me well. I use it when welding and other fabrication work. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48willys Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thank's ! I think I'll just go with the cheeper one for now,and if I don't like it I'll find a good one latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulciber Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Anything's better than nothing. I personally don't care for the split leg much so I used the legs straps to tie the two leg pieces together rather than strap it them on. I love my apron even though it was cheap and is the split leg type. Just feels good putting it on. Kinda like a pre-forging ritual. Can't tell you how many times it's saved me too. As far as the crossing in the back. I can't say how much better it is. I've got a 50" round chest so it's kinda a pain to get into place but once it's there it doesn't go anywhere. The over the neck style is easier to put on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I would go with the one that has the best straps. I don't think either is over priced. I made my own from a piece of leather that cost me $60. When the alternative is the possibility of setting fire to your family tree, The price seems very reasonable to me.
