LS50-XL - AngelFire LS50 Women's Stick Welding Gloves - XL

Technical Overview: Revco Black Stallion AngelFire Women's Stick Glove

The Revco Black Stallion AngelFire Women's Stick Glove (Model LS50) represents a specialized segment of personal protective equipment (PPE) engineered specifically for female welders. Unlike standard unisex or men's gloves that are simply scaled down, the AngelFire series is constructed with a tailored fit that respects the anatomical differences in women's hands. This attention to ergonomics significantly reduces hand fatigue and improves grip control during manual arc welding processes. The LS50 is primarily designed for Stick (SMAW) welding applications, where higher heat and spatter are common, yet it retains enough flexibility for heavy-duty MIG applications.

Material selection is critical in the LS50's design. The palm is crafted from premium grain pigskin. Pigskin is renowned in the industrial sector for its resilience; it resists hardening after exposure to moisture and oils, maintaining a soft and pliable feel over the lifespan of the glove. This ensures that the welder maintains tactile sensitivity, which is crucial for electrode manipulation. Conversely, the back of the glove is constructed from split cowhide. Cowhide is denser and provides superior thermal protection against the radiant heat generated by the welding arc, as well as protection from falling slag and sparks.

Structural integrity is maintained through the use of Kevlar® stitching throughout the entire glove. Kevlar® provides exceptional tensile strength and is inherently flame-resistant, preventing seam failure under high-heat conditions. A standout technical feature is the exclusive DragPatch® reinforcement located on the side of the hand. This padded reinforcement offers extra insulation and abrasion resistance in the area most frequently in contact with the workpiece or welding table, extending the service life of the glove. Additionally, the back of the glove is fully lined, providing a secondary layer of thermal insulation to protect the back of the hand from intense heat exposure.

The LS50-XL is the Extra Large variant in this series, ensuring that women with larger hands still benefit from the specific cut and proportioning of the AngelFire line without resorting to ill-fitting men's gloves. The combination of specialized materials and ergonomic design makes this an essential safety tool for professional female fabricators.
