Only used them for a few days now and I can say they are the best gloves I’ve worn to weld in, I don’t feel the heat through them even resting my hand on a hot peice of metal and as thick and durable as they seem I still have great mobility and control over all my fingers with them on.

Brent F.
This is a perfect pair of welding gloves. The standard gloves in stores are not good fitting and get in the way. These fit my hands perfectly and doesn’t feel like I’m wearing two pieces of cardboard like my old Lincoln ones.

Probably the best pair of gloves I have put on my hands, super durable and comfortable. My only complaint is that they come a little small so maybe order a size larger
