K2985-XXL - Lincoln Electric Traditional FR Cotton Welding Jacket, Black, 2XL

Lincoln Electric Traditional FR Cloth Welding Jacket – 2XL

The Lincoln Electric Traditional FR Cloth Welding Jacket (K2985-XXL) is engineered to provide reliable protection for welders engaged in low-to-medium amperage welding processes. Constructed from high-grade 9 oz. flame-retardant (FR) cotton, this jacket offers a lightweight alternative to heavy leather apparel while maintaining essential safety standards. The fabric is chemically treated to be self-extinguishing, preventing the material from continuing to burn once the ignition source is removed, which is critical for safety in environments with sparks and spatter.

Designed with a 30-inch length, this jacket ensures adequate coverage of the torso and upper hips, shielding the wearer from radiant heat and minor molten metal splash. The seams are a critical point of failure in many garments; however, this model utilizes multi-layer patterns and is stitched with durable polyester thread to prevent rips and tears during rigorous daily use. The inclusion of snap sleeves allows for form-fitting cuffs, which can be adjusted to fit over welding gloves, minimizing the risk of sparks entering the sleeve.

Functionality is enhanced by an inside left pocket, providing a protected storage space for personal items such as phones or scribes, keeping them safe from arc rays and debris. Notably, the K2985-XXL is machine washable, capable of retaining its flame-retardant properties for up to 50 wash cycles, ensuring a long service life and hygiene. This jacket is compliant with ASTM D6413 standards for flame resistance, making it a suitable choice for TIG, Stick, and light MIG welding applications within the 25-300 amperage range.
