K2985-XL - Lincoln Electric Traditional 9oz FR Cotton Welding Jacket, Black, XL

Reliable Flame Retardant Protection

The Lincoln Electric Traditional FR Cloth Welding Jacket (Model K2985-XL) is engineered to provide essential protection for welders engaged in low-to-medium amperage applications. Constructed from high-quality 9 oz. flame-retardant (FR) cotton, this jacket serves as a primary barrier against sparks, spatter, and intermittent heat. The fabric is chemically treated to meet ASTM D6413 compliance, ensuring that the material self-extinguishes upon removal of the ignition source, thereby significantly reducing the risk of burn injuries in the workplace.

Durable Construction and Design

Durability is a key focus of the K2985 series. The garment features seams sewn with 100% polyester thread, chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to wear. The multi-layer pattern design helps prevent rips and tears during rigorous daily use. With a generous length of 30 inches (measured from the collar seam to the bottom hem), the jacket provides extended coverage for the torso and upper hips, bridging the gap between the jacket and welding pants or aprons. This extra length is crucial for preventing spark entry when working in seated or out-of-position angles.

Functional Features for the Professional

Designed with the welder's convenience in mind, the jacket includes an inside left pocket, offering a protected space to store small tools, markers, or personal items away from the hazard zone. The sleeves are equipped with snap closures, allowing for adjustable, form-fitting cuffs. This design minimizes loose fabric around the wrists, ensuring a seamless fit inside welding gloves and preventing hot debris from entering the sleeve. The jacket is machine washable, retaining its FR properties for up to 50 wash cycles, making it a practical, long-term investment for safety programs.
