MIG welding glove construction
These gloves are built for MIG welding with a straight-thumb Gunn cut that keeps the palm flexible while the full back shields the hand. Top-grain cowhide covers the palm and gauntlet cuff, while pigskin forms the back for breathability. Foam lining adds insulation against radiant heat during long welding sessions.
Fit for high-heat MIG work
Welders who need forearm coverage and a durable leather palm will find the 13 inch gauntlet and Grade A cowhide suited to daily production. The straight thumb limits dexterity for fine TIG torch manipulation, so technicians doing precision welds should consider a different thumb style.
13 inch gauntlet length
The cuff extends 13 inches from the fingertip, protecting the wrist and lower forearm from spatter and radiant heat. If your welding position exposes the upper arm or requires a shorter cuff for tight joints, this length will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item
How do I put on the 13 1/4 in gauntlet cuff and straight thumb so the foam-lined thumb strap stays in place?
Slide each hand into the gauntlet cuff until the cowhide cuff covers the wrist, then align the straight thumb; the step most users miss is fully seating the foam-lined thumb strap before starting work.
What part of these gloves will wear out first and need replacement?
The cowhide palm and thumb face direct heat and spatter during MIG welding, so they wear through before the pigskin back or the gauntlet cuff.
Which limit appears first during a long MIG session — heat penetration or dexterity loss?
Heat penetrates the foam lining and cowhide palm faster than the Gunn-cut back restricts finger movement, so thermal breakthrough is the first limit.
