High-Temp & Thermal Gloves
When the hazard is heat rather than spatter, you want gloves made for contact and radiant heat. This collection covers Kevlar terry cloth, aluminized and para-aramid knit gloves and sleeves for foundries, forges, glass shops and hot parts handling.
Buying guide
Matching the glove to the heat
High heat comes in a few forms. Each one calls for a different kind of protection.
Contact heat
Grabbing hot parts, molds or tools. Thick terry cloth Kevlar and wool linings slow heat transfer to your hand.
Radiant heat
Standing near a furnace or a big weld. Aluminized surfaces reflect radiant heat away instead of absorbing it.
Exposure time
Every heat glove has a limit. Contact ratings depend on temperature and time, so check the listing and avoid holding hot parts longer than needed.
Arms and torso
Heat doesn't stop at the wrist. Para-aramid sleeves, bibs and capes extend the same protection up your arms and across your chest.
Good to know
Heat resistance is about time
A glove can handle a very hot part for a few seconds or a warm part for much longer. That's why ratings for heat gloves usually pair a temperature with a contact time.
If your work involves sustained high heat, tell us the temperature and how long you're in contact. We'll help you match a glove to it.
Heat protection is temperature times time.

FAQ
High-temp glove questions
What temperature can these gloves handle?
It depends on the glove and on how long you're in contact. Check each listing for its intended use, and reach out if you need help matching a glove to a specific temperature.
Are high-temp gloves good for welding?
Some are, like aluminized stick gloves. Knit and terry cloth heat gloves are made for handling hot parts, not for catching spatter at the arc.
What's the difference between aramid and Kevlar?
Kevlar is a brand of para-aramid fiber. Both resist heat and won't melt, which is why they're used in heat gloves and sleeves.
Why are bibs and capes in this collection?
They use the same para-aramid materials and are often bought together with heat gloves. If you only want gloves, use the product type filter.
