JH1515-NM-M - Angel Fire Women's Hybrid FR Cotton & Leather Welding Jacket - Medium

Technical Overview

The Black Stallion JH1515-NM-M Angel Fire Women's Hybrid Welding Jacket is a specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) garment designed to address the ergonomic and safety requirements of female welding operators. This model utilizes a hybrid material construction strategy to optimize the balance between thermal protection and operator fatigue management. The critical exposure zones—specifically the sleeves, shoulders, and upper chest—are constructed from durable split cowhide leather. This material selection provides superior resistance to molten spatter, sparks, and radiant heat generated during MIG and Stick welding processes. By isolating the leather to high-risk areas, the garment maintains high-level protection where it is most critical.

The torso, underarms, and collar are fabricated from 9 oz. flame-resistant (FR) cotton in a navy blue colorway. This strategic use of FR cotton significantly reduces the overall weight of the jacket compared to full-leather alternatives, enhancing breathability and reducing heat stress during prolonged operations. To mitigate the risk of burn-through in the abdominal region, a vertical "spark strip" of cowhide is integrated into the center front of the jacket, providing an additional layer of thermal shielding against falling dross.

Structurally, the jacket is tailored with narrower shoulders and a contoured waist to accommodate the female form, ensuring that the PPE fits securely without excess material that could pose an entanglement hazard. The garment features a stand-up welder's collar to protect the neck from UV radiation and stray sparks. Closure is achieved via a heavy-duty snap system. For adjustability, a 3-position waist strap allows the wearer to cinch the jacket for a close fit. Utility features include scribe pockets located on both sleeves for ambidextrous access to marking tools, as well as a secure internal pocket designed to hold small personal items or mobile devices. The shoulders are satin-lined to facilitate smooth movement and ease of donning over other workwear.
