K2987-XXL - Lincoln Electric Shadow Grain Hybrid Welding Jacket - 2X-Large

Professional Hybrid Protection for MIG and TIG Applications

The Lincoln Electric K2987-XXL Shadow Grain Leather Sleeve Welding Jacket represents a strategic balance between heavy-duty protection and operator comfort. Designed for professional welders who require robust defense against spatter without the excessive weight of a full-leather garment, this jacket utilizes a hybrid material construction. The sleeves are fabricated from durable split cowhide leather, providing superior resistance to the high heat and heavy spatter often associated with MIG welding. In contrast, the main body is constructed from flame-retardant (FR) 100% cotton, which significantly reduces the overall weight of the garment and promotes airflow to keep the operator cool during extended shifts.

Safety and durability are enhanced through thoughtful engineering details. The front closure system features a unique spatter guard lining located behind the snaps; this internal flap acts as a barrier to prevent sparks and molten metal from penetrating the closure gaps, a common vulnerability in standard jackets. The collar is designed to flip up and secure with a hook-and-loop fastener, providing essential coverage for the neck against arc rays and flying debris. For utility, the jacket includes two large external pockets, both protected by hook-and-loop flaps to ensure that contents remain secure and free from shop dust or sparks.

This specific model is sized 2X-Large and is tailored to allow for the range of motion necessary for precision TIG work while maintaining the coverage required for MIG applications. The aesthetic is professional, featuring a black base with Lincoln Electric's signature red shadow accents. By combining materials, Lincoln Electric delivers a PPE solution that minimizes heat stress without compromising the critical protection zones on the arms.
