With this introduction, I\u2019m excited to partner with Lincoln Electric to offer protective gear that fits right and looks good. I really look forward to sharing these items with other female fabricators,\u201d notes Combs, who provided significant input throughout the development process to ensure an accurate fit and appeal for female welders.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The first product in the new female line is the Jessi Combs Viking 1840 Series Amp Angel Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet. <\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The comfortable helmet has subtle graphics and features a 90 x 110 mm cartridge to keep the weight to a minimum. <\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\">External continuous 9-13 shade control makes it easy to adjust on the fly and continuous sensitivity and delay offer customized responses for every application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Jessi Combs Women\u2019s Shadow Welding Jacket, tailored especially for women\u2019s sizing, features a cooling front and back flame- retardant panels. <\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A flip up collar, adjustable snap sleeves and a snap cinch waist keep spatter out, while two horizontal flap pockets secure personal items.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A sexy lady who makes welding look fun!

Her parents loved to explore everything around them and gave her a solid appreciation for off-roading as well as racing in many forms.\u00a0 In addition to her love for speed, Jessi is artistic and spends as much time as she can creating with her own hands.\u00a0 She loves metal working and leather craft and is skilled in both.\u00a0 Jessi is an independent and adventurous spirit, boasting, \u201cI will try everything at least twice\u2026\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t want to be jaded by the first attempt!\u201d\u00a0 Her sense of adventure led her to board sports, travel, photography, and sky diving.<\/strong><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having turned down a full scholarship to a prominent interior design school, she traveled North America before settling in Denver, CO to pursue a career in snowboarding.\u00a0 This proved harder on her physically than she had anticipated and decided on a career that involved her love of everything automotive and showcased her artistic abilities.\u00a0 She moved to Laramie, WY to attend WyoTech where she studied Collision\/Refinishing, Chassis Fabrication, Street RodFabrication, and Trim\/Upholstery, graduating with a degree in Custom Automotive Fabrication. Her time and involvement at the trade school led to her first fabrication job when the marketing department hired her and another student to build a car from the ground up in six months to debut at the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association\u2019s (SEMA) show.\u00a0 The car was auctioned for charity and Jessi hasn\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While her chosen career path didn\u2019t initially include time on television, she found herself on Overhaulin\u2019 as a guest fabricator and was soon hired as the co-host of Xtreme 4&#215;4, part of the Powerblock on Spike TV, a position she held for four years and 90+ episodes.\u00a0 Together with a co-host, they built everything from race trucks to street trucks and trail rigs to trailers for an audience of millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westermans.com\/weldingmachines.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westermans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Current-Stock-Filler.jpg\" alt=\"Current stock at Westermans\" class=\"wp-image-7921\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: you can now buy women&#8217;s workwear from Lincoln Electric direct.
