Full Grain Leather Welder Protective Glove

Heat- and radiation-resistant hand covering designed to protect against burns from spatters and thermal exposure.

Cow split leather is tough and withstands the typical strain of welding. It protects your hands from spatter and the heat radiation generated in MIG and stick welding. It's also okay for TIG welding, as long as you don't constantly reach into the hot zone. Under extreme heat, e.g., when the leather presses directly on a hot workpiece, it burns or becomes brittle. Then better use a thicker or specially treated leather.
