Heavy-duty black leather protection built for welders working in heat, sparks, spatter, and steel.
The Næxon Bully Welding Arm Pads in Black Leather combine serious welding protection with a clean, industrial appearance. Constructed from premium top-grain cowhide, two-layer leather, Kevlar fire-resistant thread, adjustable straps, and durable brass buckles, these arm guards are designed for welders and craftsmen who put their gear through demanding work.
The black leather isn’t just about appearance. It gives the Bully Arm Pads a rugged, professional look that fits naturally into fabrication shops, refineries, pipelines, power plants, and industrial jobsites.
Built for Welding. Built to Take Abuse.
A welder’s forearms spend hours close to the work.
Sparks fly. Spatter hits. Hot metal gets handled. Arms rub against pipe, plate, structural steel, welding tables, and equipment.
The Næxon Bully Welding Arm Pads create a substantial leather barrier over the forearms while maintaining the mobility of a compact arm-pad design.
Instead of covering the entire arm with heavy leather, the Bully puts protection where welders often need it most.
Premium Black Top-Grain Cowhide
The Bully Arm Pads are made from top-grain cowhide leather selected for durability in demanding working environments.
Cowhide has been trusted by welders for generations because it provides a durable barrier against common welding hazards such as sparks, spatter, heat, and abrasion.
The black leather finish gives these pads a clean industrial appearance while maintaining the rugged character expected from professional welding gear.
As the leather gets used, marked, and worn on the job, every pair develops its own character.
Two-Layer Leather Construction
One layer is good.
Bully was built with two layers of leather.
The double-layer construction places additional material between the worker’s forearms and the working environment, creating a heavier-duty design for demanding welding and fabrication tasks.
For welders spending long shifts around sparks, spatter, hot steel, and abrasive surfaces, that additional layer matters.
Kevlar Fire-Resistant Thread
Heavy leather needs stitching capable of keeping up with it.
The Næxon Bully Arm Pads use Kevlar fire-resistant thread throughout the construction.
Kevlar thread helps reinforce the seams and contributes to the durability of the arm guards when they’re exposed to the demanding conditions found in welding and metal fabrication.
Top-grain cowhide.
Two-layer construction.
Kevlar stitching.
That’s the foundation of the Bully.
Adjustable Straps & Brass Buckles
The Bully Arm Pads feature adjustable straps with durable brass buckles, allowing workers to customize the fit around their forearms.
The adjustment system helps accommodate different arm sizes and clothing layers while keeping the pads positioned during work.
Whether you’re welding in a lightweight work shirt or layering up for colder conditions, the straps can be adjusted accordingly.
Targeted Protection Without the Bulk
Not every welding job requires wrapping your entire upper body in heavy leather.
The Bully design concentrates leather protection directly over the forearms—the area often closest to the arc and workpiece.
This provides substantial coverage while leaving more of the arm open compared with traditional full-length welding sleeves.
The result is a compact protective system designed around mobility, airflow, and targeted protection.

Who They’re Made For
The Bully Arm Pads are built for welders, pipefitters, fabricators, ironworkers, boilermakers, millwrights, maintenance craftsmen, and industrial construction workers who regularly work around sparks, heat, hot metal, and abrasive surfaces.
They’re particularly useful for workers who want heavy leather coverage over the forearms without automatically reaching for full leather sleeves or a welding jacket.
Næxon Expert Guide: Why Forearm Protection Matters
Your hands aren’t the only part of your body working close to the weld.
When you’re leaning into a pipe weld, working underneath a joint, fitting steel, or welding at a fabrication table, the forearms can be directly exposed to sparks and spatter.
That’s exactly where the Bully is designed to work.
The thick leather construction creates a targeted protective barrier while the adjustable straps help keep the pads positioned during movement.
For the right welding application, this means serious protection without unnecessarily covering the entire arm.
Black Leather: Made to Look Better With Work
Some gear looks its best the day you buy it.
Industrial leather isn’t supposed to stay untouched.
The black cowhide will naturally develop marks, creases, scuffs, and wear as it follows you through welds, shutdowns, fabrication jobs, and long shifts.
That’s part of what makes leather work gear different.
It’s supposed to get used.
Care & Maintenance
Inspect the leather, Kevlar stitching, straps, and brass buckles before use.
Remove loose dirt and welding debris after work. If the leather becomes damp, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do not continue using the pads if the leather becomes burned through, severely cracked, excessively worn, or otherwise damaged enough to compromise protection.
