K3317-M - Lincoln Electric K3317-M Medium FR Cotton Welding Jacket Khaki

Lincoln Electric Traditional Khaki FR Cloth Welding Jacket - Medium

The Lincoln Electric K3317-M Traditional Khaki FR Cloth Welding Jacket is a staple for professional welders and hobbyists alike who require reliable protection without the bulk of heavy leather. Designed for the medium-sized operator, this jacket is meticulously constructed from 100% 9 oz. flame-retardant cotton. This specialized fabric is engineered to self-extinguish when exposed to sparks, providing a critical layer of safety during light welding, cutting, and grinding operations. The khaki color not only offers a classic industrial look but also reflects some radiant heat, contributing to operator comfort.

Functionality is at the core of the K3317-M design. The jacket features a length of 30 inches, measured from the collar seam to the bottom hem, ensuring adequate coverage for the torso and waist area. This length helps prevent sparks from entering between the jacket and the welder's trousers. To further enhance safety and fit, the sleeves are equipped with snap adjustments. These allow the wearer to secure the cuffs tightly around the wrist, creating a seamless barrier when worn with welding gloves. An inside pocket is thoughtfully included, providing a protected space for small tools, markers, or personal items, keeping them shielded from the harsh welding environment.

One of the standout features of this Lincoln Electric jacket is its ease of maintenance. Unlike leather gear which requires specialized cleaning, the K3317-M is machine washable. This allows welders to easily remove sweat, dust, and grime, maintaining a professional appearance and hygienic working conditions. While it is an excellent choice for low amperage processes, users should note that FR cotton is designed to extinguish fire but can still be penetrated by heavy molten slag; for heavy-duty overhead or high-amperage applications, supplemental leather protection may be advised. The K3317-M represents Lincoln Electric's commitment to quality, comfort, and safety in the industrial workspace.
