Ingco Welding Leather Gloves HGVW02, 16-Inch Cow Split Leather

Our review

These Ingco welder gloves are built from cow split leather with a one-piece back and a full lining, and the palm is doubled for extra wear where you grip the torch or workpiece. The seams use KEVLAR thread, which is the detail that matters most in this category, since ordinary stitching tends to be the first thing to fail on welding gloves. At 16 inches they are a long-cuff style, so they cover more of the forearm than short gauntlets and suit professional welding work where spatter and heat reach past the wrist. Before buying, check the fit around your fingers and palm, because stiff split leather loosens with use but should not be so tight that it restricts control. Compare them with other leather welders on cuff length, lining, and whether the palm is reinforced; those three points separate a glove that lasts a season from one that lasts a week. Available on Sokonia.
