Buying guide

Find your glove in four questions

You don't need to know glove jargon to land on the right pair. Answer these and the list gets short fast.

What process?

TIG needs thin leather for feel. MIG needs a balance. Stick needs thick leather and a long cuff. Not welding? Skip to cut, cold or general work gloves.

What's the hazard?

Sharp edges call for an ANSI cut rating. Radiant heat calls for an aluminized back. Electrical work calls for an arc rating.

How long are you wearing them?

For all-day wear, comfort counts. Pigskin breathes, goatskin stays soft and lined gloves keep you warm but run warmer.

What size?

A good glove is snug at the fingertips without pinching. Most styles run XS to 3XL, and our size guide walks you through measuring.

Good to know

Reading a glove listing

Most of our glove titles follow the same pattern: leather type, then features, then use. For example, a Grain Pigskin Palm, Cowhide Back MIG Glove has a smooth pigskin palm for feel, a cowhide back for heat and is built for MIG.

Ratings show up when they apply. An A-number is an ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level. An arc rating, shown in cal/cm2, tells you how much electrical arc energy the glove is tested to handle.

Match the glove to the job and your hands will thank you.

FAQ

Glove questions

How do I know my glove size?

Measure around your palm just below the knuckles, not counting the thumb, and compare it to our size guide. If you're between sizes, go with the larger size for winter gloves and the smaller one for TIG.

What does ANSI cut level mean?

ANSI/ISEA 105 rates cut resistance from A1 (lowest) to A9 (highest), based on how much force it takes for a blade to cut through the material.

Are Kevlar gloves the same as cut-resistant gloves?

Not always. Kevlar shows up as thread in welding gloves and as a lining or knit in cut gloves. Check the listing for an ANSI cut level if cut protection is what you need.

Do you sell gloves by the dozen?

Many crews buy by the dozen or the case. Reach out through our Bulk Orders page and we'll quote the quantity you need.

What if a glove doesn't fit?

You can return unused gloves within 30 days. See our Returns page for the details.
