Features of the Endura welding glove with wing thumb and thermal lining

This glove features a wing thumb, an angled construction with no seams on the palm side to obstruct work or cause fatigue, for better flexibility. Its one-piece back provides excellent protection against sparks, since there are no seams to burn. Seams in critical spots are leather-welted for better durability. Finally, it is fully lined with cotton which, combined with leather's good heat-absorption capacity, provides thermal protection up to 284 °F (140 °C).

Side-split cowhide properties resistant to abrasion

Side-split leather comes from slitting thicker hides into two sheets: the surface of the skin, the finest part known as "full grain", is the real leather, as opposed to the subsurface known as "split-leather". Split-leather is quite resistant to abrasion but thicker, and may feature a more raw aspect with irregularities.

Applications of the Endura glove for welding, smelting and steel mills

These gloves are recommended for applications such as welding, smelting plants and steel mills.

Usage restrictions of the side-split cowhide welding glove

Do not immerse this glove in water or any other boiling liquid, since it offers only limited protection against heat conduction. Even though leather provides good protection against heat, it does not rule out the risk of burns or other mechanical hazards.

Maintenance and service life of the Endura leather welding glove

Washing this glove is not recommended, 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 washing them, we recommend dry cleaning.
