Endura goatskin & Kevlar gloves for MIG and TIG welding 12" length

Endura 12-inch goatskin and Kevlar gloves for MIG and TIG welding

Superior product code: 370GFKL

These specialized gloves have a level 3 puncture resistance rating and a level 2 heat resistance rating, according to ANSI and ASTM standards. Their goatskin leather construction—a flexible yet highly tear-resistant material—provides excellent movement control, which is essential for precision welding.

With their full Kevlar® lining, these gloves offer additional mechanical and thermal protection while remaining flexible enough to preserve finger mobility. The 12-inch cuffs, made of cowhide split leather, cover the forearm to protect against sparks, splashes, and abrasions.

The entire glove is sewn with Kevlar® thread, which increases its durability and resistance to high temperatures.

Available in sizes M (8) - L (9) - XL (10).

Special features of the G625 goatskin and Kevlar glove

Goatskin leather forms the basis of the glove and provides an excellent combination of finesse and robustness. Its Kevlar® knit lining reinforces protection against risks related to punctures, heat, and repeated handling. Split leather cuffs complete the ensemble by improving abrasion resistance and protecting the most exposed areas of the arm.

Each seam is stitched with Kevlar® thread, preventing premature breakage due to heat or friction. This ensures that the glove remains reliable even in demanding thermal environments.

Material properties of the Endura 12-inch glove

Goatskin leather

Thin, lightweight, and exceptionally durable, it is more tear-resistant than many other leathers. Its natural lanolin content makes it supple, windproof, and comfortable to wear, while maintaining excellent dexterity—essential for MIG and TIG welding.

Kevlar®

This aramid fiber is known for its exceptional resistance to traction, vibration, impact, and thermal variations. It does not deform when heated and provides remarkable stability, which increases the glove's lifespan while reducing hand fatigue.

Split leather

Thicker and rougher than full-grain leather, split leather offers very good abrasion resistance. Used in cuffs, it effectively protects the forearm from sparks and radiant heat.

Applications for Endura MIG and TIG welding gloves

These gloves are recommended for:

• MIG and TIG welding,
• precision welding work in manufacturing,
• stainless steel welding,
• foundry and steel mill environments requiring precise handling despite high temperatures.

They are suitable for both professional welders and specialized technicians.

Restrictions on white and black G625 gloves

These gloves should not be immersed in water or exposed to boiling liquids. Their protection against heat conduction remains limited. Leather offers excellent thermal resistance, but is not a substitute for specialized PPE against direct flames or deep burns.

They do not prevent all mechanical injuries and must be used as part of a comprehensive safety procedure.

Care and lifespan of 12-inch welding gloves

It is not recommended to wash these gloves with water, as this will remove the natural oils from the leather, making it stiff and more fragile. If cleaning is absolutely necessary, dry cleaning is recommended.

Minimal maintenance will keep the leather supple and extend the life of the gloves, especially if you allow them to air dry away from any heat sources.

FAQ – Endura® goatskin and Kevlar® gloves (MIG & TIG)

1. Are these gloves suitable for both MIG and TIG welding?

Yes, they are designed to provide the precision required for TIG welding while resisting the heat, sparks, and spatter of MIG welding. The goatskin leather ensures good dexterity for technical movements, while the Kevlar® lining protects against thermal and mechanical hazards.

2. How heat resistant are they?

These gloves offer Level 2 heat resistance according to ANSI/ASTM standards. This means they can withstand moderate heat from spatter or hot parts, as long as exposure is not prolonged or direct. However, they are not designed to withstand high conduction heat or prolonged contact with hot objects.

3. Is goat leather more fragile than other types of leather?

On the contrary. Goat leather is known for its tear resistance and durability, while being lighter and more flexible than cow leather. The natural lanolin it contains gives it good flexibility and protects it from drying out. This is precisely why it is preferred for precision welding gloves.

4. Why use Kevlar® in the lining and seams?

Kevlar® is extremely resistant to heat, cuts, and abrasion. As a lining, it protects the hand from intermittent heat and mechanical hazards. In the seams, it prevents the thread from melting or deteriorating under the effect of heat, thus increasing the glove's lifespan.

5. Do these gloves protect against punctures?

Yes. They offer Level 3 puncture resistance, which provides solid protection against sharp edges, cutting metal, and common handling hazards associated with welding and machining work.

6. Do the cuffs really protect the forearm?

Yes. The 12-inch split leather cuffs are designed to protect the forearm from sparks, slag, and abrasion. Split leather is thicker and more durable than full-grain leather, making it an excellent choice for areas exposed to thermal hazards.

7. Can they be washed?

It is not recommended to wash these gloves, as water and soap remove the natural lanolin from the leather, causing it to harden and become brittle. If cleaning is absolutely necessary, dry cleaning is the only acceptable method.

8. Are they suitable for working in wet conditions?

No. Like all leather gloves, they should not be immersed in water or used in wet environments. Moisture damages the leather and reduces its protective properties.

9. How do I choose the right size?

These gloves are available in sizes M (8) to XL (10). Simply select the size that corresponds to your usual work gloves. For an optimal fit, the glove should be snug without being tight, in order to maintain the precision required for TIG welding.

10. For which environments are these gloves most recommended?

They are ideal for:

• MIG and TIG welding;
• stainless steel welding;
• precision work involving moderate heat;
• manufacturing workshops;
• light foundry or steel mill environments where precision is important.

These gloves are available in sizes ranging from medium (8) to extra-large (10). Please select the size needed in the field located above.

G625 peculiarities:
This Kevlar® lined glove for thermal and mechanical hazards features cuffs made of side-split leather to provide an abrasion resistance while remaining affordable. All seams are sewn with Kevlar® thread for better durability.

Goatskin properties:
Goatskin is a thin light, but wind-proof and resistant to wear and tear. This material is often used to produce gloves since it offers a good protection at a fair price while providing a good tactile sensitivity. Goatskin is more hard-wearing than other because of the natural lanolin produced by goats. Lanolin is referred to as wool fat or wax and is known to give a pleasing tactile finish and a better suppleness.

Kevlar properties:
Kevlar®, a thermoplastic polymer related to aramids, is a low-density high-strength material which offers an excellent tensile strength, elongation and shear strength. This fabric doesn’t expand from temperature changes and fairly absorbs vibrations and shock. Kevlar doesn’t strain the hand and react chemically well to hydrocarbons.

Side-split leather properties:
Side-split leather is leather created from the fibrous part of the hide left once the top-grain of the rawhide has been separated from the hide. It usually is less resistant than top-grain leather, but it is ideal for safety clothes because once paired with other materials, it becomes cost-effective compared to real leather.

Use for:
This glove is recommended for applications such as precision work with a welding pistol as in the manufacturing sector. They may as well be used for welding stainless steel or in smelting plants and steel mills.

Do not use for:
It is not recommended to immerse this glove in water or any other liquid brought to boil since their fabric only offers a limited protection against heat conduction. Even though leather provides quite a good protection against heat, it does not rule out the risk of burns or any other mechanical hazards.

Maintenance and service life:
It is not recommended to wash this glove since water and soap tend to rob leather of its natural oils which makes it stiffen and become brittle. If the nature of your work requires that you wash them, we recommend that you dry clean them.
