OVERVIEW

Stay Cool Under Fire with Lincoln Electric

Welding is a hot job, but your gear shouldn't make it unbearable. The Lincoln Electric K2989-XXL Heavy Duty Leather Welding Jacket is the ultimate solution for welders who need serious protection but refuse to overheat. This hybrid jacket gives you the best of both worlds: the impenetrable toughness of leather and the breathable comfort of cotton. It is designed specifically for the welder who spends hours under the hood, burning rod after rod, and needs gear that works as hard as they do.

The business end of the jacket—the chest and arms—is crafted from top-quality heavy-duty split cowhide leather. This is the barrier you need against the heavy spatter and intense heat generated by Stick and Flux-Core welding. It resists burns and abrasions, ensuring that your front is fully shielded from the hazards of the arc. But what sets this jacket apart is the back. Made from 9 oz. flame-retardant cotton, the back panel allows air to circulate, preventing heat from getting trapped against your body. This innovative design keeps you significantly cooler than a full leather coat, reducing fatigue and letting you focus on laying perfect beads.

Lincoln Electric hasn't skimped on the details that make a day in the shop easier and safer. The jacket features a flip-up collar that secures with Velcro, providing essential coverage for your neck against UV rays and rogue sparks. The front snaps are protected by an extra lined flap, ensuring that no spatter sneaks through the closure. We also know that fit matters; that's why the sleeves come with adjustable snaps, letting you cinch them tight around your wrists or gauntlet gloves. Plus, there is a handy inside pocket to keep your valuables safe and scorch-free.

Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, on a construction site, or in your home garage, the K2989-XXL offers the professional-grade protection you expect from the Lincoln Electric brand. It fits a 2X-Large size comfortably, allowing for freedom of movement while you work. Upgrade your safety gear today with a jacket that protects you from the heat of the weld while saving you from the heat of the day.

FAQ

The K2989-XXL is a 2X-Large size welding jacket. It is designed to fit comfortably over standard work clothing.

This hybrid jacket features heavy-duty split cowhide leather on the sleeves and chest for maximum protection, and 9 oz. flame-retardant cotton on the back for breathability.

Leather products should generally not be machine washed as it can dry out and crack the hide. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth or specialized leather cleaner is recommended. The FR cotton back also requires care to maintain its flame-retardant properties.

Yes, the jacket includes a large inside left pocket designed to protect valuables and small items from sparks and heat.

The flame-retardant cotton back allows heat to escape from the jacket, keeping the welder much cooler than a full leather jacket would, which reduces heat stress during long shifts.

While it offers excellent protection, the heavy-duty leather might be bulkier than necessary for precision TIG work. It is primarily designed for Stick and MIG welding where spatter is a greater concern.

The jacket features a flip-up collar with a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure that stands up to shield the neck from arc rays, UV exposure, and hot sparks.

There is an extra lined flap positioned behind the jacket snaps that acts as a barrier, preventing sparks and spatter from passing through the closure gaps.
