K3317-2XL - Lincoln Electric K3317-2XL FR Cotton Welding Jacket, Khaki, Size 2XL

Comfortable and Reliable Protection for Light Duty Welding

The Lincoln Electric K3317-2XL Traditional Khaki FR Cloth Welding Jacket is designed to provide welders with a comfortable, lightweight alternative to heavy leather apparel without sacrificing essential safety for light-duty tasks. Constructed from high-quality 9 oz. flame retardant (FR) cotton, this jacket is engineered to self-extinguish when exposed to sparks, preventing the fabric from continuing to burn and offering a critical layer of defense against heat and minor spatter. The traditional khaki color not only looks professional but also helps reflect some radiant heat, keeping the wearer cooler during operation.

Comfort is a primary focus of the K3317 series. Welding in hot environments or for extended periods can be exhausting when wearing heavy gear. This jacket's breathable cotton fabric allows for better air circulation, significantly reducing heat stress and operator fatigue. The design includes snap sleeves that create a snug, form-fitting cuff. This feature is vital for safety, as it prevents hot sparks or debris from entering the sleeve and causing burns. Additionally, the jacket features a generous 30-inch length (measured from the collar seam to the bottom), ensuring that your torso and lower back remain covered even when bending or reaching.

Practicality extends to the maintenance and storage features of the jacket. It includes a convenient inside pocket, providing a protected space to store small tools, markers, or personal items like a phone, keeping them safe from the harsh welding environment. Furthermore, the jacket is machine washable, allowing for easy cleaning to remove sweat, dust, and grime after a long work week. This durability ensures the jacket remains a staple in your safety gear rotation for a long time.

Please note that while FR garments like the K3317-2XL offer excellent protection for light welding, cutting, and grinding, they are not intended for heavy-duty applications involving heavy spatter or molten slag. For such tasks, full leather protection is recommended. However, for TIG welding, light MIG work, or general shop fabrication, this Lincoln Electric jacket provides the perfect blend of agility, comfort, and safety.
