    The TIG Gauntlet is constructed from the very highest soft nappa leather offering superior comfort and feel, but is of a unique design, utilising an 'Argon' thumb, which affords a closer fit and thus enhanced dexterity. The cuff is also slightly shorter (10cms) than the 'Ultima' Superior.

    Size 10. CE approved to EN12477 & EN388 Cat 2

    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?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    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?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    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.

    Can I use TIG gloves for MIG or stick welding?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    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.

    Should TIG gloves be lined or unlined?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Unlined gloves give the best feel, and are the usual choice where control is vital and the heat is modest. Lined gloves add insulation and comfort, and are better when you handle hot parts or weld at higher currents, though the lining adds some bulk.

    Some gloves are partly lined, with insulation on the back of the hand or the palm only. Consider how hot the work gets and how much feel you need before you decide.
