OVERVIEW

Premium Goatskin TIG Welding Gloves - Size XL

The 13271XL Premium White Goatskin TIG Welding Gloves are engineered for professional welders who demand the highest level of tactile sensitivity and dexterity. In the world of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, the ability to feel the filler rod and manipulate the torch with precision is paramount. These gloves are constructed from top-grade grain goatskin, a material renowned in the safety industry for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike cowhide, which can be bulky, goatskin offers a thinner profile without sacrificing durability, making it the premier choice for fine welding applications.

One of the defining features of this model is its completely unlined design. By eliminating the inner lining, the glove removes the barrier between the welder's hand and the workpiece. This direct contact ensures that operators can detect the slightest changes in heat and maintain absolute control over their movements. The natural lanolin content found in goatskin helps keep the leather soft and supple over time, preventing the stiffness that often plagues lesser quality leather gloves after repeated exposure to heat cycles.

Safety is not compromised for comfort. The glove features a robust tan split leather cuff that extends protection past the wrist and onto the forearm. This gauntlet-style cuff shields the wearer from sparks, UV radiation, and minor spatter that may occur during the welding process. The transition from the white grain hand to the tan split cuff also adds a layer of structural integrity to the glove's entry point. Designed for an Extra Large (XL) fit, these gloves accommodate larger hands comfortably, ensuring that movement is not restricted by a tight fit.

These gloves are specifically tailored for low-amperage welding processes where dexterity is more critical than heavy thermal insulation. They are an essential tool for aerospace welders, pipe welders, and metal artists who require precision. The resilience of the goat grain leather ensures a long service life, resisting abrasion and tearing better than many other leathers of comparable thickness.

FAQ

Goatskin is preferred because it has a high tensile strength while remaining thin and lightweight. This allows for superior dexterity and tactile sensitivity, which are essential for the precise movements required in TIG welding.

These gloves are completely unlined. This design choice maximizes the welder's ability to feel the filler rod and torch, providing the highest level of dexterity.

The 'XL' in the SKU indicates that these are Extra Large gloves, suitable for users with larger hands.

While they can be used for low-amperage MIG, they are not recommended for Stick or heavy-duty MIG welding. Those processes generate significantly more heat and spatter, which requires thicker, lined gloves (like cowhide) for adequate protection.

It is best to clean them with a dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Do not wash them with water, as this can stiffen the leather and remove the natural oils that keep it supple.

The tan cuff is typically made from split leather, which is thicker and stiffer than the hand portion. It provides protection for the wrist and lower forearm against sparks, heat, and UV radiation without compromising the dexterity of the fingers.

Yes, they provide protection against the radiant heat and UV light typical of TIG welding. However, because they are unlined, they are not designed for handling hot metal directly or for high-heat welding processes.
