So yeah, we’re rewarding hard work and these are not cheap items here. These are industry respective, awesome piece of gear that you’d want to take to the field with you.

The Up in Smoke Welding Thorax Fleece Pullover model was designed specifically with welders in mind. 14 oz Carbon X fleece is made with the perfect blend of fibers for strength, warmth, and comfort.
We sourced environmentally conscious leather from a world class leader in both green initiatives and hide tanning. The quality of this leather will help keep your range of motion on the cold winter days. Strategically placed leather on the side of your hood, upper torso and arms to help protect from burns, and prolong the life of your garment. By placing the leather only where you need it, it aids in cutting down the weight and bulkiness of the garment, while still delivering the protection you need. The redesigned sleeves give more room in the elbow region for better range of motion. Sleeves are 1/2″ longer than previous model. Hood and sleeves are lined with Mount Vernon Mills twill for comfort. This makes the hood and sleeve lighter and less bulky. Front chest leather has been extended down another inch for more protection. Heavy Kevlar and Nomex stitching to tolerate the abuse these garments endure, as well as four rows of stitching across the chest

It has a snap closure. The sleeves are also lined with Mount Vernon Mills twill for comfort, as well as providing an extra layer of protection on your arms. Carbon X Repel is significantly lighter then leather. Its lighter weight increases comfort and decrease’s the amount of muscle exertion that builds up over the course of a work shift. Carbon X Repel sheds molten metal, certain chemicals, flammable liquids, and other molten substances while providing extraordinary protection against extreme heat and direct flame. Sparks and spatter simply roll off the material. Tall collar, two front pockets, and eight American made YKK snap closure. The rear tail of the shirt is extended for added protection.
