263346 - Miller Small Goatskin TIG Welding Gloves - Unlined

Precision Hand Protection for TIG Applications

The Miller TIG Welding Gloves (SKU: 263346) in Size Small are engineered specifically for the unique demands of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. Unlike MIG or Stick welding, which require heavy insulation against intense heat and spatter, TIG welding demands a high degree of dexterity and tactile sensitivity. Miller has addressed this need by utilizing premium materials and a thoughtful design that prioritizes the welder's ability to manipulate the torch and filler rod with precision.

Material Construction

The core of these gloves is the premium goat grain leather used on the palm and fingers. Goatskin is renowned in the industrial safety sector for its high tensile strength relative to its weight, allowing for a thinner, more flexible leather that does not sacrifice durability. This material choice is critical for TIG welders who need to feel the wire and the torch switches. The cuff is constructed from durable cow grain leather, providing a robust 4-inch gauntlet that protects the wrist and lower forearm from arc rays, sparks, and hot surfaces.

Durability and Design

To ensure longevity in industrial environments, Miller has sewn these gloves entirely with 100% flame-resistant Kevlar thread. Kevlar stitching prevents seam failure due to heat exposure or abrasion, a common failure point in lesser quality gloves. The design features a completely unlined interior, which heightens the user's feel and dexterity, eliminating the bulk that often impedes fine motor skills. Despite being unlined, comfort is not compromised; a triple-padded palm area provides necessary cushioning against the torch handle and reduces vibration transfer.

Ergonomics

The gloves feature a three-dimensional pattern with pre-curved fingers. This ergonomic approach mimics the natural resting position of the hand, significantly reducing hand fatigue during long shifts. The size Small is particularly well-suited for welders with smaller hands (approximately 7-8 inches in circumference), ensuring a snug fit that prevents the glove tips from interfering with the weld puddle. Whether for aerospace, automotive, or general fabrication, these Miller TIG gloves provide the professional-grade performance required for high-quality welds.
