Welder's protectors (6)

I believe the answer is:

aprons

(Other definitions for aprons that I've seen before include "Areas for parked aircraft" , "Protective garments for aircraft" , "Kitchen garments for cooks" , "Protective garment" , "Paved areas for out-of-use aircraft" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
