Buy welding gloves: Professional protection & precision for every seam
In metalworking, the hands are the most important tool, but also the most but also the most vulnerable. Extreme radiant heat, UV radiation, Flying sparks and sharp edges make first-class personal protective Protective equipment (PPE) is essential. A professional A professional welding glove is a high-tech barrier that combines uncompromising Safety with maximum work performance.

TIG vs. MIG/MAG: Choosing the right type of glove
The requirements vary greatly depending on the welding process. Choosing the wrong type not only jeopardises safety, but also worsens the but also worsens the welding result due to a lack of control.
MIG/MAG & E-Hand (focus: heat protection)
With high amperages and high levels of spatter, protection is a priority Priority.
-
Material: Robust cow split leather or full cowhide.
-
Characteristics: Usually fully lined (e.g. with cotton or heat-resistant heat-resistant fleece) to insulate against contact heat.
-
Design: Long cuffs protect the pulse and the forearm from Welding beads.
TIG welding (focus: precision)
The sense of touch is crucial here, as the welding rod is fed precisely with the fingers Fed with the fingers.
-
Material: Thin, supple goatskin, sheepskin or deerskin Deerskin.
-
Characteristic: Usually unlined for direct feedback from the torch Torch.
-
Special feature: A seamless index finger is the standard here Standard to prevent snagging on the wire.
Material science: Types of leather and their performance
The service life of a glove depends on the quality of the leather and the tanning process Tanning. High-quality brands such as Weldas rely on pH-neutral tanning Tanning processes that keep the leather soft and prevent skin irritation.
| Type of leather | Heat resistance | Tactile feel | Recommended process | Special feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cow split leather | Very high | Low | MIG/MAG, E-hand | Extremely robust, very heat-resistant and inexpensive. |
| Full cowhide | High | Medium | Heavy assembly, MAG | Smooth surface, repels sparks and oils better. |
| Goatskin | Medium | Excellent | TIG, fine work | Extremely tear-resistant despite low thickness. |
| Deerskin | High | Very high | Premium TIG / MAG | Remains permanently soft even after welding contact. |
| Pigskin | Medium | Medium | Allround | Particularly breathable, ideal for damp working environments. |
Technology & construction: details that make the difference
A Top 5 glove is characterised by design details that drastically increase the service life (durability):
-
Kevlar® stitching: Conventional cotton threads burn on contact with sparks Contact with sparks. Aramid yarn (Kevlar) is flame-retardant and keeps the structure Structure stable.
-
Piped seams: An extra leather strip protects the seam from direct from direct burn-off caused by welding spatter.
-
Wing thumb: This ergonomic shape follows the natural hand position Hand position and prevents fatigue during long shifts Long shifts.
-
Heat reflectors: For extreme heat, gloves with can be supplemented with aluminised hand back reflectors that repel up to 95 % of radiant heat.
How to find the right glove size
A welding glove must neither constrict nor fit too loosely. To Determine your size, measure the circumference of your hand at the widest widest point (above the knuckles, without thumb).
| Hand circumference (approx.) | Recommended size | Labelling |
|---|---|---|
| 17 - 19 cm | 7 | S |
| 19 - 22 cm | 8 | M |
| 22 - 24 cm | 9 | L |
| 24 - 27 cm | 10 | XL |
| 27 - 30 cm | 11 | XXL |
Professional tip: If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size for better TIG welding, choose the smaller size for a better feel. For MIG/MAG welding, choose the larger size so that the insulating insulating layer of air inside is retained.
Standards explained simply: EN 12477 & Co.
Only rely on certified safety. A Welding glove must be tested in accordance with EN 12477:
-
Type A: High protection against heat, lower flexibility (MIG/MAG).
-
Type B: High flexibility, lower heat protection (TIG).
-
EN 388 & 407: These additional standards evaluate mechanical strength (abrasion, cut protection) and the thermal behaviour (burning behaviour, contact heat).
Weldas: The gold standard for professionals
We prefer to stock Weldas in our product range because the brand Innovations such as the COMFOflex® lining (flame-retardant Air cushion fleece) and the SOFTouch™ series. These Products are designed for tough industrial continuous use and offer an unrivalled offer an unrivalled ratio of protection to comfort.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about welding gloves
How do I clean welding gloves? Leather gloves should never be washed, as water and chemical cleaners will strip the natural natural oils and make the leather brittle. Brush dry dirt carefully.
Why do my welding gloves become hard? The combination of the combination of extreme heat and hand perspiration removes the fatty substances from the leather. High-quality gloves with pH-neutral tanning remain supple much longer longer than cheap products.
When do I need to change the glove? As soon as the leather shows burn holes the seams are exposed or the material has shrunk so much due to heat that the material has shrunk so much due to heat that mobility is restricted, protection is no longer protection is no longer guaranteed.
What is the advantage of Kevlar seams? Kevlar is extremely heat-resistant and does not melt. Without these special seams, the glove would Literally fall apart when sparks fly, even before the leather is worn out the leather is worn out.
