290415 - Miller Cut-Resistant MIG Welding Gloves - XL

Technical Specifications and Material Composition

The Miller Cut-Resistant MIG Welding Gloves (SKU: 290415) are engineered to address the specific hazards associated with Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and industrial metal fabrication. These gloves are constructed using a hybrid leather design that optimizes both protection and performance. The palm and fingers are fabricated from premium goat grain leather, a material selected for its high tensile strength relative to its thickness, allowing for superior tactile sensitivity and dexterity when manipulating MIG guns and feeding wire. The back of the hand and cuff areas utilize durable cow split leather, providing enhanced resistance to sparks, spatter, and coarse abrasions.

A defining technical feature of this PPE is its internal cut-resistant lining, which achieves an ANSI A5 cut rating. According to ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standards, this rating indicates the material can withstand between 2,200 and 2,999 grams of cutting load, offering significant protection against sheet metal edges and sharp fabrication debris. Furthermore, the gloves boast Level 4 ratings for both abrasion and puncture resistance, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments. Thermal protection is rated at Level 3, safeguarding the operator against contact heat.

Construction and Ergonomics

Structural integrity is maintained through the use of 100% flame-resistant Kevlar thread throughout the glove's assembly. Kevlar's high melting point prevents seam failure that typically occurs with standard cotton or nylon stitching when exposed to welding heat and UV radiation. Ergonomically, the gloves feature a pre-curved finger design. This anatomical shaping reduces the muscular effort required to close the hand around a tool or torch, thereby minimizing operator fatigue during prolonged welding sessions. The X-Large sizing is calibrated to accommodate larger hand circumferences while maintaining the glove's protective integrity.
