K3109-M - Lincoln Electric Roll Cage Impact-Resistant Welding Gloves Medium

Technical Overview of Lincoln Roll Cage Welding/Rigging Gloves

The Lincoln Electric Roll Cage Welding/Rigging Gloves (Model K3109-M) are a specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) solution designed to address the multifaceted needs of industrial workers in marine, construction, and heavy fabrication environments. Unlike standard welding gauntlets, these gloves are engineered with a dual-purpose chassis that provides the thermal protection required for welding operations while simultaneously offering the mechanical durability and dexterity needed for rigging tasks. This eliminates the inefficiency and safety risk associated with frequently changing gloves between tasks.

Constructed from high-grade grain cowhide leather, the exterior shell offers superior abrasion resistance, essential for handling rough materials such as chains, steel cables, and structural components. The structural integrity of the glove is maintained through the use of Kevlar stitching throughout all seams. Kevlar thread is chosen for its high tensile strength and inherent resistance to heat, preventing seam failure during exposure to sparks, spatter, or mechanical stress. This robust construction ensures a long service life even under rigorous job site conditions.

Safety is paramount in the design of the K3109 series. A defining feature is the integration of silicone knuckle protection, which provides a flexible yet substantial barrier against impact injuries—a common hazard in rigging operations. Internally, the gloves are lined with a cut-resistant Kevlar layer, offering significant protection against lacerations from sharp metal edges. Additionally, the palm area is reinforced with padding to absorb vibration and resist wear in high-contact zones. The wrist assembly features a heat-resistant guard and a secure fastener system, ensuring the glove remains in place during overhead work while allowing for rapid removal if necessary. These gloves meet the rigorous demands of professionals requiring versatile, high-performance hand protection.
