Design and protection

These Caiman 1540-5 welding gloves use a patented Kontour design that follows the natural hand shape for proper finger alignment. The thumb seam is moved away from the contact zone, while a Kontour wrist construction improves comfort and safety. Premium genuine leather is unlined with padded palm and index reinforcement, and seams are sewn with Kevlar® thread for maximum strength.

Intended use and limits

The gloves suit TIG welding and similar precision work where dexterity and fingertip feel matter. They are not for heavy stick or flux-core welding that demands thick insulation, nor for foundry tasks requiring aluminised heat shields. Buyers needing full forearm coverage or oil-resistant cuffs should look elsewhere.

Patented Kontour construction

The gloves carry U.S. design patents D866,871 S and D883,610 S covering the Kontour hand, thumb and wrist geometry. This patented shaping is the specification that decides fit, seam placement and overall wear performance for the intended TIG applications.

Questions about this item

How can I tell the Kontour design is working as intended after I put the gloves on?

The Kontour design conforms to the natural shape of your hand and provides proper finger alignment, so the gloves should feel anatomically correct without bunching at the fingertips.

The package includes one pair of size L welding gloves with a complimentary 3in carabiner; no additional items are required for basic use.

Which version of the 1540 series should I choose for TIG welding?

The 1540-5 model features a goatskin palm, Kontour thumb and wrist designs patented under D866, 871 S and D883, 610 S, and a Kevlar-sewn unlined padded palm suited for TIG work.
