269618 - Miller Heavy-Duty Lined MIG Gloves - 2X-Large Multi-Leather Blend

Premium Multi-Material Construction for MIG Applications

The Miller 269618 Lined MIG Welding Gloves (Size 2XL) represent a sophisticated approach to personal protective equipment, utilizing a strategic blend of three premium-grade leathers to address the specific mechanical and thermal requirements of MIG welding. Unlike standard single-material gloves, this model integrates grain pigskin, cowhide, and goatskin into a single ergonomic design. The back of the glove features pig split leather, known for its resilience against sparks and spatter, while the palm utilizes cow grain for its balance of durability and grip. Crucially, the inner fingers are constructed from goat grain, a material selected for its high tensile strength and suppleness, ensuring the operator maintains the necessary dexterity for wire feed speed adjustments and torch manipulation.

Thermal management is a critical component of the 269618 design. The glove features a dual-insulation system tailored to the heat exposure profile of MIG welding. The palm is lined with cotton fleece, which provides medium heat handling capabilities and additional cut protection without compromising the tactile feedback required for handling materials. Conversely, the back of the hand—which often faces the highest radiant heat from the arc—is insulated with foam. This targeted insulation strategy ensures maximum protection where it is needed most while preventing the glove from becoming overly bulky or restrictive.

Structural integrity is maintained through the use of 100% flame-resistant Kevlar thread throughout the glove's assembly. Kevlar offers exceptional thermal stability and tensile strength, preventing seam failure under high-heat conditions that would degrade standard cotton or nylon stitching. The glove also incorporates a dual-padded palm to dampen vibration from grinding or heavy tool usage, further reducing operator fatigue. The original wrap-around keystone thumb design allows for a natural range of motion, reducing the strain on the thumb joint during extended welding sessions. This product is designed for industrial professionals requiring a size 2X-Large glove that does not sacrifice precision for protection.
