Welding Gloves, Mouchelion Lined Leather Welding Gloves, Long Cuff, 16-Inch, Palm Reinforced Heat Shield MIG/TIG Gloves, Large

These are good lightweight gloves. They offer moderate heat protection, and the longer arm guards will help prevent burns from TIG UV / sparks / spatter. There is plenty of finger room, but none of the fingers seem too long. The thumb width is oversized to offer a better range of movement.The leather is on the thin side, which makes it very pliable. The interior lining/batting is also thin and lightweight. This gives a good amount of dexterity. If you like welding with super lightweight gloves (goat skin w/o lining), but find yourself taking too much heat, these are a nice step up.If you need a lot of heat protection for welding larger things, or you are going to be pouring lead / handling hot molds, you will want gloves that offer more insulation.

For how inexpensive these are, I am very happy with these gloves. It is a good amount of leather in these gloves, and like all leather gloves, they do a great job from protecting your hands.A few things of note about these gloves:- I am a 35 year old male with probably averaged sized hands. These gloves are a snug enough to stay on if I want them to, but loose enough that I can shake them off. This might be a negative for some but I appreciate the fact that I can gets these off quickly by flicking them off my hand.- These are padded in the hand part. This keeps the gloves warmer in cool weather and protects you against heat if you use these for welding or in the fire.- The first few times you wear these, your hands will smell like the gloves (this is normal in my experience with leather gloves like these).Overall I am very happy with these. I no longer weld, but I do like to use these for work gloves. We have bee hives that these are perfect for. No exposed skin. These are also great for camping and working with a fire. The long leather keeps you completely protected.

I got these gloves for my husband because we have some home projects we are working on. We are working on various Home Improvement projects. These gloves are thick enough to protect his hands while working but also allow him to move his fingers and have a grip on items he is carrying. He can use them to move wood around in our wood pile and because the gloves are long it protects his arms from being bit by spiders. They are also good for heat protection while welding and doing other projects. Overall we are happy with these gloves and we will be putting them to very good use. One thing I noticed about the gloves as the professional stitching and thick lining. They are also reinforced in the palms to protect against heat.

The Good:• Impressed by quality of these gloves, well sewn• Soft inside and not too stiff either• Cowhide is very durableOther Thoughts:• I found the fit on the Snug side for me. I would wear an XL in gloves in the USThe Bottom Line:If you are dealing with heat then these gloves will save your hands/wrists. Recommend for that.
