Side-split cowhide and full grain leather welding glove, 11 in long, with wing thumb and leather welts

This welding glove combines side-split leather around the wrist and full grain cowhide on the palm side, for a total length of 11 in (28 cm), sold in pairs. It features a wing thumb — an angled construction with no seams on the palm side to obstruct work or cause fatigue — for better flexibility, with seams leather-welted in critical spots for better durability. Not only does the leather protect hands against contact heat up to 350 °F (175 °C), but its 4 in (10 cm) cuff also protects much of the forearm. This model is offered at a clearance price.

Features of the side-split and grain leather welding glove with cuff

This glove is made of side-split leather around the wrist and full grain cowhide on both the palm and back of the hand. It 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. The leather protects against contact heat up to 350 °F (175 °C), and the cuff protects much of the forearm.

Side-split leather 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.

Full grain cowhide properties for durability and comfort

Full grain leather comes from the surface of the skin, the finest part, as opposed to the split-leather from the subsurface. Cowgrain is the most popular leather on the market since cowhide strikes a good balance of durability, dexterity, abrasion resistance and comfort, while remaining quite cost-efficient.

Applications of the leather welding glove for light welding

These gloves are recommended for light welding applications, but will not measure up to jobs such as work in smelting plants and steel mills.

Usage restrictions of the leather 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 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.
