Description

The Advantage

Nothing else on the market exists to rival the Patented FR Thorax Welding Hoodie.

If you want to support welding apparel that’s made in the USA, then this product is for you. In fact, all Up in Smoke Welding Apparel is made using materials sourced from North America. We are deeply committed to ensuring that North American hands touch our products at every step along the way, from when we design our products to when we fulfil your order.

We know that once you try our products, you’ll never buy anything else. Why are we so confident? Because we test, test, test to ensure our products and the materials we use are the best for the jobs we know you do. In fact, the FR Thorax is one of our core products in the Up In Smoke Welding Apparel line and is designed specifically to keep you warm, protected, and looking good.

5 Reasons To Buy To The FR Thorax:

  • The FR Thorax is Innovative; we use CarbonX fleece made with a blend of fibers designed for strength, warmth, and comfort.
  • 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.
  • We think like welders because we are welders; we place leather on the side of your hood, upper torso and arms to help protect you from burns and prolong the life of our products. Placing leather only where you need it cuts down weight and bulkiness while delivering the protection you need.
  • Welding apparel that’s stronger than steel; we use heavy Kevlar and Nomex stitching to ensure our products can tolerate almost anything your job throws at it.
  • A leader in welding wear; Up in Smoke Welding Apparel performs better than anything on the market however, our garments are not indestructible. Our goal is to keep you protected and depending on the welding job that can be weeks, months or years.

Whether you’re pipelining in Alaska, Minnesota or in Canada, or burning rod in a fab shop in Texas, California or overseas, or if you’re a welding hobbyist, artist or groupie, then Up in Smoke Welding Apparel has the best product for your welding job. Buy the FR Thorax Welding Hoodie now, and you’ll be happy and warm.

We believe welding isn’t just a job or a career. It’s a brother and sisterhood, a family, a community of people who get it done. It’s our job to ensure you have the best welding apparel on the market so that you look good, stay protected and get home to what matters most.

  1. Sam Hackman

    Ridiculously durable. I’ve been putting this hoodie through the paces for the past 2 years as long as the weather’s been cold enough, without a single issue. Arc gouging, stick welding, torching overhead, nothing has made it through this hoodie. I’m 6’2” 185lbs and wear an XL and there’s enough room for layering

    Have 3 different colours of this hoodie, I won’t weld without it! It allows me to do my job safely and efficiently without getting a burn for months. Unreal product , you will not be dissappointed.

    The thorax is like a good winter coat in the cold weather days. It provides durability, excellent protection while welding close up . The hood is a stylish extra and protects your ears and neck ….

    Not a burn yet. I’ve been using these hoodies for around a year now and they hold up great, no burns on cloths underneath especially in winter with several layers on.

  6. Rodney Adams

    The ultimate hoodie for welding in the cold winter months, so warm, so comfortable and crazy durable. After wasting money on bulky, non FR jackets just to have them burn up after a couple uses while welding, I’m so happy I decided to try the FR Thorax!
    These hoodies have outperformed any heavy jackets I’ve had for outdoor winter welding repair jobs. I highly recommend investing in the FR Thorax!

    The Thorax Hoodie is by far my favorite welding jacket in my collection. It’s super comfortable but also provides all the protection I need to keep the sparks and slag from burning me up. It doesn’t look or feel like a traditional welding jacket and that’s the best part.

  8. Stephen Marshall

    The Thorax was my first purchase from up in smoke and I was so impressed with the quality that I now have a massive collection. The Thorax is my go to for late fall and the winter use both in the field and in the shop. It is also my go to when I am in a awkward positions, overhead, or just cannot help showered by sparks or hot metal. It also adds superior protection against heat when in the spray transfer or when multi pass welds on thick metal. Absolutely a must have in your collection.

    Thorax hoodie is by far the best hoodie I have every used for welding! I really like that there is leather on the hood as well for more protection when I’m gouging or welding overhead! Its crazy how warm this hoodie is in winter! High recommended

    Best hoodie / leathers I have been able to find over the past 13 years. I always seem to be directly in the way of sparks and this bad boy has kept me protected time and time again. Not to mention with the high vis stripes its the best outer layer during the winter months.

    I am not a pipeline welder, just a normal everyday rig welder. Doing work in the oilfield, under rigs, fixing heavy equipment, doing structural welding and in the shop fabbing. I get dirty, use my stuff hard. This hoodie is great.
    The good – Awesome protection, looks sharp, nice and warm for winter.
    The bad – I get it dirty and it’s hard to clean. Have to hand wash. Also, definitely burned some holes in the fleece parts, but I am super hard on my gear.

    Over all definitely recommend.

    I love my Hoodie. Super warm up here in the Minnesota winters and I have never been burned while wearing it , it’s super durable. Mac is a great guy to buy stuff from. I had a little issue with mine ( my fault ) and he was cool enough to let me send it back in and he fixed it for me. Definitely recommend.

    I’m not a welder, I am an HD mechanic and this hoodie is the shit for gouging in places where the sparks are flying back at you, the leather hood is super protective. Fits well under coveralls so you can use the leather sleeves and hood to there advantage without getting your nice garment covered in grease, nice to be able to rest your arm on a bucket your welding. Top notch quality, hope one day Mac builds one with a full leather hood for us guys rolling around under equipment and trucks.

    Leather holds up really nice, but not as warm as I thought. Fr fabric is thin and does not hold up very well. Have had hoodie for 1 month and looks like Swiss cheese

      Hi Logan thanks for the review. The fleece we use is actually a 14 oz weight which is very heavy. We try to put the leather in the high wear areas, to cut down on the weight. Our products are not indestructible and are not for everyone. We build our garments with the best materials available to us on the market. We are coming out with another product in August of 2022 that will replace the fleece with a new material we have been testing. So look out for that. Cheers

    I was blown away by how well made and how great the fit was. As it is the nicest piece of clothing I own, I love welding in it and it’s great for colder days, but I can layer up underneath if need be for real frigid days. Looking forward to getting more up in smoke apparel for daily and work use!! If you’re hesitating, stop it and buy it! You won’t be disappointed!

    Hands down best welding jacket/ hoodie out there. The leather needed no break in period. Pulled it out of the box, got in the ditch and was able to move unlike some other stiff leather products I’ve tried. Keep making good equipment

    I just did 10k+ inches of galvanized in my thorax. Every other piece of welding clothing I’ve used has been chinese dog shit quality. There were 4 of us at the start of the job, two quit. The other guys didn’t even have a leather sleeve, they just showed up with cotton hoodies and Rasco FR shirts or something like that. Their elbow pits were burned through on week 1. Most of this job was welding floor joints together, so not too much spatter and trash to worry about, however a 1/3 of it was at chest high verticals, or overhead, so that destroyed those guys. Every job I go on now people are asking me where I got this hoodie, and I’m steady telling guys not to waste good money on bad equipment. Not gonna lie, my company pays us next to nothing, so I looked at your website for like a year before I bought anything. I’m super careful with money so I was hesitant to get a 275$ hoodie. Totally worth it. Now that I’ve used it for a good bit I’m happier with my investment than I expected, you make a solid product.

    Purchased a hoodie a month ago. Great hoodie for 50 degree weather. Been downhill welding, up hill welding, RMD and Flux core welding in it. It’s help up great and super comfortable. Definitely going to buy another one this fall. Highly recommend one for every welder. I have not got burnt in it once, since I had it.

    This jacket was amazing last winter here in MN. Mac helped me sort out the proper sizing for my applications and climate. Can not recommend this enough. The 3M striping has held up to arcing, gouging and all manner of field abuse!

    After receiving 3rd degree burns to my hands and arms from an explosion, I needed a welding jacket that would offer complete protection for both arms and there was really no other choice for me. The leather sleeves keep me protected and make sure I don’t have to worry about any future burns. Definitely recommend.

Don’t be like me and hmmmm and hawww over the price, you are paying for extreme quality and it’s ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. Stop wearing a regular hoodie under your old smelly leathers.

    I believe I’m going on my 3rd year with this welding hoodie and it’s still in very good shape! I believe there’s one burn hole in the hoodie fabric but that’s very good for wearing it everyday in the fall and all through the winters. When the hoodie is no more I will be ordering another! 👍🏼

    I’ve had the same one since December of 2019, the only signs of wear are on the cuffs, the leather looks like new minus a couple spots where it’s a bit burned from arc gouging. Fall and winter it gets worn every day. 10/10 would recommend

    The leather is good, holds up well to gouging and heavy torching. I would like to see the cotton part be more fire resistant though. I fix heavy equipment and I wear my UIS hoodie often, mainly in colder weather, but it would be awesome to see an option to be able to select the cotton part of the hoodie to be swapped out for a more resilient material.

    Grunt proof product and made for jarheads like myself who constantly welds in the most precarious situations. As most welders and veterans we all want to spend our hard earned money on products that will hold up to conditions and wear and tear, and this is the product for that. Recommend for any level of welder, especially those that weld in confined spaces and still want good coverage and protection.

    I don’t even know where to start because I am that happy with my hoodie. It’s warm I get a lot of compliments and it gives me the protection I need for my everyday welding needs

    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.

    The leather is perfect. I’m 6’ 195 pounds and xl fits great with room underneath for layers. Only wish I could order another with high viz stripes
