K2980-XL - Lincoln Electric Premium MIG/Stick Welding Gloves XL

Superior Protection with Lincoln Electric Premium Cowhide Gloves

The Lincoln Electric K2980-XL Premium Grain Cowhide MIG/Stick Welding Gloves represent a sophisticated blend of material engineering and ergonomic design, specifically tailored for the rigorous demands of MIG and Stick welding processes. At the core of these gloves is a strategic combination of leather types. The top hand is constructed from grain cowhide, chosen for its supple nature and ability to provide excellent dexterity without compromising on durability. This allows the welder to maintain fine control over the welding gun or electrode holder. Complementing this, the glove features split cowhide reinforcements in high-wear areas, particularly providing additional abrasion resistance where it is needed most.

Internally, the K2980-XL gloves utilize a dual-lining system designed to manage both heat and moisture. A flame-retardant foam lining offers a critical barrier against the high temperatures associated with arc welding, protecting the user's hands from radiant heat. Simultaneously, a soft, sweat-absorbent twill lining sits against the skin, wicking away moisture to prevent slippage and maintain comfort during extended shifts. The structural integrity of the glove is secured through the use of Kevlar stitching throughout. Kevlar is renowned for its high tensile strength and thermal stability, ensuring that the seams do not degrade or burn open when exposed to sparks and spatter.

Safety is further enhanced by the inclusion of a 5-inch extended cuff made from split cowhide. This cuff design ensures that the wrist and lower forearm are adequately shielded from sparks, spatter, and radiant heat, bridging the gap between the glove and the welding jacket. The palm area is also padded, a feature that not only improves comfort but also helps to dampen vibration and reduce grip fatigue. With a total length of approximately 13 inches, these gloves provide comprehensive coverage for professional welders requiring reliable PPE.
