The Horizon Insulated Cowhide Welding Gloves are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional industrial environments. When dealing with high-amperage welding processes such as MIG (GMAW) and Stick (SMAW), radiant heat and spatter pose significant risks to operator safety. These gloves are constructed from premium split cowhide leather, a material selected for its exceptional balance of durability, abrasion resistance, and flexibility. The rugged exterior effectively repels sparks and molten metal, ensuring the structural integrity of the glove is maintained even under harsh working conditions.
Beyond the exterior shell, the core advantage of this model lies in its insulation. A fully insulated lining acts as a thermal barrier, significantly reducing heat transfer to the hand. This feature is critical for welders engaged in prolonged welding passes where torch heat can become uncomfortable or dangerous. The lining also adds a layer of cushioning, absorbing minor impacts and reducing hand fatigue during long shifts. The glove features a traditional gauntlet cuff, which is essential for bridging the gap between the glove and the welding jacket, preventing sparks from entering the sleeve and protecting the wrist and lower forearm from UV radiation and burns.
Durability is further enhanced by the inclusion of welted seams. In standard gloves, exposed stitching is a common failure point as it burns away when exposed to direct heat or sparks. Welted seams protect the thread with a thin strip of leather, prolonging the lifespan of the glove and ensuring it remains intact. The wing thumb design is ergonomically tailored to follow the natural curve of the hand, allowing for better grip control on the welding gun or electrode holder without sacrificing comfort. These gloves represent a reliable, high-performance PPE solution for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and heavy manufacturing.
