Miller® gloves are designed to endure daily abuse prevalent within welding environments. Carefully selected materials and craftsmanship result in a glove that welders will want to wear, reducing the risk of hand lacerations and boosting productivity.

Miller® TIG Pro welding gloves are fully made from goat grain leather, with the cuff in cow split. Unlined. The glove is sewn with strong, heat-resistant Kevlar® thread and double-stitched at exposed areas. Extra reinforcements in both the thumb and the full index finger for increased durability. An elastic band at the wrist for a better and safer fit. Goat skin leather is both thin, supple and durable, while the upper hand in cow split provides extra heat resistance.

TIG Gauntlets FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and looking after TIG welding gloves and gauntlets.

How are TIG gauntlets different from other welding gloves?

TIG welding makes little spatter, but it demands fine control of the torch and the filler rod. TIG gloves are therefore thinner, softer and more flexible than the heavy gloves used for MIG and stick welding, and they are usually made from supple leather with few bulky seams.

The cuff or gauntlet part is often shorter or lighter than on heavy gloves, though it still covers the wrist. The result is a glove that lets you feel what you are doing while still giving useful protection against heat and arc radiation.

What leather is used for TIG gloves?

TIG gloves are usually made from thin, soft leather so that you can feel the torch and filler rod. Different leathers vary in softness, thickness and toughness, and makers choose them to balance feel against heat protection and wear.

Softer, thinner leather gives the best feel but gives less protection and wears faster. Thicker leather protects better and lasts longer but is less sensitive. Choose by the thickness of the work and the heat involved, and check the glove's markings and the maker's description for the protection it gives.

How should a TIG glove fit?

Measure around your dominant hand just below the knuckles and use the maker's size chart, because sizing varies between makers. The glove should be snug, with no loose material at the fingertips, but not so tight that it restricts blood flow or tires your hand.

Too large and you lose feel and may find the fingers catching on the filler rod; too small and the leather is stretched thin and wears out fast. Try the glove while holding a torch and rod if you can.

Can I use TIG gloves for MIG or stick welding?

It is not a good idea. MIG and stick welding produce spatter and much more radiant heat, and a thin TIG glove gives much less protection than a heavy welding glove. You could get burns, and the glove would wear out quickly.

Use a heavier glove for those processes and keep your TIG gloves for TIG work. If you do a mix of processes, many welders keep a pair of each so that they always have the right glove to hand.
