Welding safety doesn't always mean wearing heavy, stifling leather. For welders performing light-duty tasks, the Lincoln Electric K3317-M Traditional Khaki FR Cloth Welding Jacket offers the perfect solution. Sized Medium, this jacket is crafted from high-grade 9 oz. flame-retardant cotton. This material is significantly lighter than leather, promoting airflow and reducing fatigue caused by heat stress. It is the ideal choice for warm shops or summer months where staying cool is as important as staying safe. The flame-retardant treatment ensures that if a spark lands on the garment, the fabric will not continue to burn, effectively preventing injury.
The design of the K3317-M focuses on practical daily use. It includes a secure inside pocket, a feature often overlooked but highly valued by welders who need a safe place for soapstone, a phone, or keys. The jacket's closure system uses durable snaps, which are quick to fasten and unfasten, and less prone to failure than zippers in dusty environments. The snap sleeves are particularly beneficial, allowing for a form-fitting cuff that prevents hot sparks from rolling down the sleeve—a common and painful occurrence in welding. With a 30-inch length, the jacket sits comfortably over the hips, providing reliable barrier protection for your clothes underneath.
This jacket is specifically recommended for applications such as TIG welding, light MIG welding, plasma cutting, and grinding. In these scenarios, the intense spatter of stick welding is absent, making the FR cotton the superior choice for comfort and mobility. Additionally, the machine-washable nature of the fabric means you can start every week with a fresh, clean jacket. Invest in the Lincoln K3317-M to experience a blend of traditional Lincoln quality and modern comfort engineering, keeping you safe while you focus on laying the perfect bead.
