K3770-XL - Lincoln Electric Drivers Gloves, XL, Top Grain & Split Cowhide

Professional Grade Material Handling and Light Welding Protection

The Lincoln Electric K3770-XL Welders Leather Drivers Gloves represent a sophisticated balance between tactile sensitivity and industrial protection. Engineered for professionals who require versatility in their personal protective equipment, these gloves bridge the gap between standard material handling gear and specialized welding apparel. The construction utilizes a dual-leather approach: the palm is crafted from high-quality white top grain cowhide, selected for its smoothness and flexibility, while the top hand features black split cowhide. This strategic combination ensures that the wearer maintains excellent grip and dexterity on the palm side while the back of the hand—often the area most exposed to sparks and radiant heat—receives the robust protection inherent to split leather.

Durability is a cornerstone of the K3770 series. Unlike standard drivers gloves that may rely on nylon or cotton stitching, Lincoln Electric has utilized 3-ply Kevlar® thread throughout the entire glove. Kevlar® is renowned for its high tensile strength and thermal stability, preventing seam failure even when exposed to the elevated temperatures associated with low amperage welding or grinding sparks. Furthermore, the palm seams are welted and reinforced, and the forefinger features dual stitching, targeting the specific zones where gloves typically fail first during rigorous industrial use.

Internal comfort and ergonomics have not been overlooked. The interior is lined with a full knit cotton fleece material. This liner serves a dual purpose: it provides an additional layer of thermal insulation against conducted heat and aids in moisture management by absorbing perspiration during long shifts. The glove design incorporates a Keystone thumb, an ergonomic feature that allows for natural movement and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive gripping tasks. An integrated elastic gathering on the top hand ensures a snug fit, preventing the glove from slipping during operation and helping to keep foreign debris from entering the cuff.

These gloves are classified for general protection in material handling and are suitable for low amperage welding applications. They are not intended for heavy-duty structural welding or high-amperage MIG/Flux-Core processes but excel in TIG environments, tacking, and general fabrication shop duties where dexterity is paramount.
