K2986-XL - Lincoln Electric Shadow Hybrid Welding Jacket - XL

Comfort Meets Durability in the Lincoln Shadow Series

The Lincoln Electric Shadow Split Leather Sleeved Welding Jacket (K2986-XL) is designed for the professional welder who demands both protection and comfort. Traditional full-leather jackets can be heavy and hot, leading to fatigue during long shifts. The Shadow series solves this by utilizing a hybrid design: high-grade split cowhide leather is used on the sleeves—the area most exposed to heavy spatter and sparks—while the chest and back are constructed from 9-ounce flame-retardant (FR) cotton. This combination significantly reduces the weight of the garment and allows for better breathability without compromising safety where it matters most.

Beyond its smart material construction, the jacket is packed with welder-centric features. A flip-up collar with a hook-and-loop closure ensures your neck remains protected from arc burn and flying debris. The front closure system features heavy-duty snaps reinforced with a unique spatter guard lining; this internal flap prevents sparks from sneaking through the gaps between snaps, a common issue with standard jackets. For storage, two large horizontal pockets with protective flaps keep your soapstone, markers, or phone secure and shielded from the welding environment. Finished in a stylish black with red accents, the K2986-XL looks as good as it performs.
