FR Thorax Welding Hoodie: The Best Welding Hoodie On The Market

  • Nothing else on the market exists to rival the Patented FR Thorax Welding Hoodie.
  • The Thorax uses an innovative, made in the USA CarbonX fleece. Incorporating a blend of fibers designed for strength, warmth, and comfort.
  • Top grain leather is placed on the non-dominant side of the hood, across the upper torso, and arms. This provides exceptional protection from heat and burns. By placing leather only where you need it, it cuts down weight and bulk while delivering the protection you need.
  • Hood and sleeves are lined with a soft made in the USA twill to also help in reducing bulk and weight.
  • FR and Kevlar stitching to ensure the jacket can withstand the toughest welding conditions.
  • Left and right-handed models available for a customized fit.
  • Patented in both Canada and the USA for its innovative design.
  • This design is for medium to heavy duty welding.

Custom Design:

  • Patented Design (US & Canada): Innovative features for superior protection.
  • The Thorax offers right handed or left handed models. Whatever hand you hold your stinger in.

Wash & Care:

  • DO NOT PUT IN A WASHING MACHINE. It's not the material we are worried about. It's more the leather shrinking and becoming hard.
  • For a cheaper alternative, we recommend filling the sink with some mild detergent and cold to warm water. 
  • From there, you can dip the garment up to the leather and hand wash the fleece. Ring out the excess water. 
  • Hang dry.

  • Our leather is as real as you. The leather may have imperfections on it because it comes from an animal. Imperfections can be a result of branding, scrapes, cuts, freckles and wrinkles. They are not on every hoodie and do not impede the integrity or performance of our gear.

    Definitly Worth It

    Was skeptical I cojle justify the price tag but after over a month burning 1/16th dual shield in a shop all day long it's barely worn in. Leather is high quality and and warm. I wear mine with a FR carhartt vest because I'm trying to make it last as long as possible with all the grinding I do daily as well. Definitely will be purchasing another in the future!

    Great build quality with little issues.

    First of all, I was blown away with the quality of the entire hoodie. Its very thick, and this thing appears like it will take some serious punishment for the foreseeable future. The only issue that I have with the build is that the sleeves are a little large around, Which is great for maneuverability but may get in the way depending on how large your arms are. The only other issue I'm have is that one of my sleeve cuffs stitching was torn slightly when it arrived, but this isn't a big problem as I already plan to get it altered to add a hoodie pocket with zippers.

    I give this welding hoodie 4 stars and here’s why.. I have had this hoodie for a week now and it’s awesome! I have been welding full time for 3 years now and Iv wanted one ever since day one.. trust me, it’s worth the money! I love the appearance, the weight is evenly distributed and the leather is genuine.. Up in Smoke reinforced the leather in the arms which is nice so your arms/shoulders aren’t rubbing directly on the leather, gives it that extra comfort. Now, here’s what I think could make it a 5 star welding hoodie (minor details).. I bought the right hand dominant so the hoodie has a section of leather on the back right shoulder blade but does not have any leather protection on the left back shoulder. I wish it did. Welders are always leaning every which way to get there right weld angle so I believe the equal coverage protection would be helpful regardless of which hand you’re dominant. The only other thing I wish it had is a pocket. All in all.. I would 100% buy it again and would recommend it to any other fellow welders.
