Tillman 9230XL Hybrid Welding Jacket: Comfort Meets Protection

The Tillman 9230XL Welding Jacket represents a smart solution for industrial safety, balancing the rigorous demands of welding protection with the practical need for operator comfort. In many industrial environments, full leather jackets can lead to heat stress and fatigue during long shifts. The Tillman 9230 addresses this by employing a hybrid material design. The main torso is constructed from 9 oz. green flame-retardant (FR) cotton. This material is significantly lighter than leather and allows for better air circulation, keeping the welder cooler in warm shop environments. Despite its lighter weight, the FR cotton is chemically treated to resist flames and minor sparks, meeting standard safety requirements for general fabrication.

However, the arms are typically the point of highest exposure to slag, spatter, and UV radiation. To address this, Tillman has outfitted the 9230XL with bourbon brown side split cowhide sleeves. This premium leather offers maximum durability and burn resistance, ensuring that the welder's arms are fully protected during MIG or Stick welding processes where spatter is prevalent. The jacket features a 30-inch length, providing ample coverage for the midsection, and is secured with a reliable snap front closure that prevents debris from entering the jacket.

Functionality is further enhanced with practical storage options, including a soapstone pocket on each sleeve and an inside pocket for personal items. This jacket is an excellent choice for facility managers looking to provide their team with PPE that encourages compliance through comfort without sacrificing essential protection. The XL size is designed to fit comfortably over standard work clothes, allowing for freedom of movement essential for precision welding tasks.
