K2986-M - Lincoln Electric Shadow Hybrid Welding Jacket - Medium

Lincoln Electric Shadow Split Leather-Sleeved Welding Jacket (Medium)

The Lincoln Electric Shadow Split Leather-Sleeved Welding Jacket (K2986-M) represents a premium solution for welders seeking a balance between heavy-duty protection and all-day comfort. Designed specifically for the dynamic needs of professional fabrication, this jacket utilizes a hybrid material construction. The sleeves, which are most exposed to spatter and sparks, are crafted from durable split cowhide leather. This ensures maximum resistance against burns and abrasion during welding processes. In contrast, the body is constructed from 9-ounce Flame Retardant (FR) cotton. This strategic material choice significantly reduces the overall weight of the garment and promotes airflow, keeping the welder cooler than a full-leather jacket would allow.

Safety is paramount in the design of the K2986-M. Lincoln Electric has integrated a unique spatter guard lining behind the front snap closures. This feature eliminates the common vulnerability where sparks can penetrate through the gaps in standard button-ups. Additionally, the jacket features a flip-up collar secured with Velcro, providing essential coverage for the neck against arc rays and flying debris. The jacket is rated for light-duty Stick welding and medium-duty MIG welding, making it a versatile addition to any personal protective equipment (PPE) inventory.

Functionality extends to storage and fit as well. The jacket includes two large external pockets protected by Velcro flaps, ensuring that small tools, markers, or personal items remain secure and shielded from the welding environment. To accommodate various body types within the Medium size range, the jacket offers snap adjustments at both the waist and the wrists. This allows the user to tailor the fit to prevent loose material from catching on equipment while ensuring a seal against sparks. The stylish black design with red "Shadow" accents ensures you look as professional as your welds.
