10-1009-XL - Weldas Soft Touch Goatskin TIG Gloves with 5-Inch Cuff - XL

Premium Hand Protection for Precision Welding

When it comes to Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, the balance between protection and dexterity is paramount. The Weldas Soft Touch™ TIG Welding Gloves (Model 10-1009-XL) are engineered to meet these specific demands, offering professional welders a superior solution for intricate metalwork. Sourced and supplied by Josef Gas, these gloves represent the high standard of safety equipment required in modern fabrication shops.

The construction of these gloves utilizes a dual-leather approach to maximize performance. The hand portion is crafted from top-grain goatskin. Goatskin is renowned in the industrial safety market for its high tensile strength relative to its weight, but more importantly, for its softness and flexibility. This allows the welder to maintain a "soft touch," feeling the slightest movements of the torch and the filler wire. Conversely, the cuff is made from split cowhide. This heavier, more rugged leather provides a necessary barrier against sparks, spatter, and radiant heat that can affect the wrist and lower forearm during welding operations.

Durability is ensured through the use of Kevlar® stitching throughout the glove. Unlike standard cotton or nylon thread, Kevlar® is heat-resistant and will not burn or melt when exposed to the high temperatures typical of a welding environment. This prevents seam failure, extending the lifespan of the glove significantly. The 10-1009-XL model is sized Extra Large, accommodating larger hands comfortably without restricting movement.

Whether you are outfitting a large manufacturing team or purchasing for a personal workshop, these Weldas gloves provide the reliability expected from top-tier safety gear. They are an essential accessory for anyone performing TIG welding on stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, ensuring that safety does not come at the expense of workmanship quality.
