290401 - Miller Small Cut-Resistant TIG Gloves with ANSI A5 Protection

High-Performance Cut Protection for Precision Welding

The Miller Cut-Resistant TIG Welding Gloves (SKU: 290401) represent a significant advancement in personal protective equipment for professional welders. Engineered specifically for the TIG (GTAW) process, these gloves address the dual need for extreme dexterity and robust safety. The core of their protective capability lies in the ANSI A5 cut rating, which certifies the gloves to withstand cut hazards up to 3,000 grams according to ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standards. This high level of cut resistance is complemented by a Level 4 rating for both puncture and abrasion resistance, ensuring that the gloves maintain their integrity even when handling sharp metal edges or rough materials common in industrial environments.

Material selection is critical in the design of the 290401 gloves. The palm is constructed from premium goat grain leather, a material renowned in the industry for its softness and flexibility. This allows the welder to maintain the tactile sensitivity required for feeding TIG rod and manipulating the torch with precision. Conversely, the back of the hand and the cuff are fabricated from cow split leather. This heavier, more durable leather provides superior protection against sparks, spatter, and radiant heat, extending the lifespan of the glove in high-wear areas. The inclusion of a drag patch further reinforces the side of the hand, a common contact point during welding passes.

Thermal protection is also a key specification, with the gloves achieving a Level 3 heat rating. The internal structure features a cut-resistant lining that not only protects against lacerations but also aids in wicking moisture, keeping hands dry and comfortable. Structural integrity is guaranteed by the use of 100% flame-resistant Kevlar thread throughout the glove's construction. Kevlar offers exceptional seam strength and resistance to thermal breakdown, preventing seam failure under heat stress. The ergonomic design includes pre-curved fingers, which mimic the natural resting position of the hand to reduce fatigue during extended welding sessions.
