K2989-M - Lincoln Electric Heavy Duty Leather/FR Cotton Welding Jacket - Medium

Heavy Duty Protection for High Amperage Welding

The Lincoln Electric Heavy Duty Leather Welding Jacket (Medium) is engineered for professional welders who demand rigorous protection without sacrificing comfort during long shifts. Designed specifically for high-heat and high-spatter applications such as Stick (SMAW) and Flux-Cored (FCAW) welding, this jacket features a hybrid construction that optimizes both safety and wearability. The chest and sleeves are constructed from heavy-duty split cowhide leather, a material renowned for its resistance to sparks, spatter, and abrasion. This ensures that the areas most exposed to the arc and molten metal receive maximum shielding.

To address the common issue of heat exhaustion in full-leather garments, Lincoln Electric has integrated a 9 oz. flame-retardant (FR) cotton back panel. This breathable material allows excess body heat to escape, keeping the operator significantly cooler than traditional full-leather coats while still maintaining fire resistance standards. The jacket is further reinforced with a flip-up collar secured by Velcro (hook and loop), providing essential neck protection against arc rays and flying debris. The front closure system utilizes a lined flap secured by a series of snaps, effectively sealing the jacket against spark intrusion.

Practicality is also a key component of the K2989-M design. It includes a large inside left pocket, offering a protected space for storing personal items or small tools. The sleeves feature snap adjustments, allowing the wearer to customize the fit around the wrists to prevent debris from entering the gloves. With a length designed to provide adequate coverage for the torso, this jacket is a robust solution for industrial environments, fabrication shops, and heavy manufacturing where durability is paramount.
