FAQs

MIG and stick (MMA) welding generate higher heat, more spatter, and more arc radiation — gloves need thicker leather (typical 1.2-1.5mm cow-hide), longer cuff (150mm-200mm) for forearm protection, and reinforced palm. TIG welding has minimal spatter and the operator handles thin filler-rod precisely — gloves can be thinner (typical 0.8-1.2mm leather), with shorter cuff and palm-stitched seams for finger dexterity. Wearing thick MIG gloves for TIG welding loses the tactile feel needed for fine work; wearing TIG gloves for MIG risks burn-through from spatter.

EN 12477 is the European standard for welder protective gloves. Type A: rated for heavy welding (MIG, stick, plasma cutting) — thicker leather, longer cuff, full hand-and-forearm protection. Type B: rated for finer welding (TIG, light spot welding, brazing) — thinner leather, shorter cuff, more dexterity. The certification covers heat transmission, abrasion, tear, puncture, and burning behaviour. Look for the EN 12477 marking and the Type A/B designation on the glove or product page.

Welding gloves are typically sized small/medium/large/X-large or by hand circumference (in inches or centimetres). Measure across the knuckles of the dominant hand (excluding thumb). Properly fitting gloves are essential — too loose and the gloves slip during welding and can catch on work; too tight and the leather cracks under repeated bending and the gloves wear out faster. Most trade welders keep two pairs in rotation, alternating to allow each pair to dry between sessions.

Yes — heat-resistant leather aprons, leather welding sleeves (worn over the gauntlet to extend forearm coverage), spats and shoe covers (for foot and ankle protection from spatter and falling slag), and welding helmets and head-protection are available across the welding PPE range. For trade welding, a complete PPE kit (helmet, gauntlets, apron, sleeves, spats) gives full protection from arc radiation, spatter, and slag. Search by the PPE category, or WhatsApp 07754288583 for advice on specific applications.

Welding Gloves and Gauntlets

Within Gloves, Welding Gloves and Gauntlets covers the heat-and-spatter-protective gloves and gauntlets used in welding, cutting, and grinding work — covering MIG and stick-welding gloves (longer cuff for forearm protection against arc heat and spatter), TIG welding gloves (thinner palm for tactile feedback in fine welding work), heavy-duty foundry-and-cutting gauntlets (extended cuff and reinforced palm for high-heat applications), and the wider range of heat-resistant leather and synthetic-fabric protective gloves used in fabrication, blacksmithing, and high-heat workshop applications.

Parts for Machines supplies welding gloves and gauntlets across the trade and professional ranges. Glove construction is dominated by chrome-tanned cattle-hide leather (the workshop and trade standard for heat resistance, durability, and dexterity), with split-leather and cow-hide variants used at different price-and-performance points. Synthetic and Kevlar-lined gloves give higher cut-and-puncture resistance for specific applications.

Product pages list the glove type (MIG/stick gauntlet, TIG glove, heavy-duty foundry gauntlet), the leather type (chrome-tanned cow-hide for general welding; Kevlar-lined for high-cut applications; split leather for economical workshop use), the cuff length (typical 100mm-200mm cuff length for MIG gauntlets; 150mm+ for foundry use), the lining material (cotton-fleece for warmth and comfort; leather-lined palms for higher heat resistance), the EN 388 cut-and-abrasion rating (where applicable for combined cut-and-heat protection), the EN 12477 welder-glove certification (Type A for heavy welding; Type B for fine TIG work), and the size range.

For MIG and stick welding, a cow-hide gauntlet with 150mm-200mm cuff is the workshop standard. For TIG welding (where finger dexterity matters), a thinner-palm glove with shorter cuff and palm-stitched seams gives better feel for fine work. Always match the glove type to the welding process.
