I have owned a pair of these gloves for a couple of months now and have used them many times. They are superb. First, their durable design avoids locating typically very fragile seams where they will be damaged by heat—-a problem with all the other TIG glove brands I’ve owned. So, these gloves have outlasted by far other brands. Secondly, these gloves are the most comfortable ones I’ve owned. Even though the glove is durable, it is constructed of thin and supple leather allowing a good “touch” in handling filler rod and the torch. I suppose the only downside to this glove is that, because of its close fit, it takes a Few more seconds to put on, but that is a small price for a glove that feels as good and lasts as long as this one.

These are ok. I’m a female, and I have long fingers but thin hands and small wrists. They fit well. I’m not sure I’d call them a medium. Maybe a small? Not sure what the standard for gloves is, or if there is one, in terms of sizing. They do absolutely nothing for heat protection. And I mean nothing. It doesn’t specify that in the description either way really but these do pop up when you search for heat resistant gloves. If you touch something really fast, they’d keep you from getting burnt, but I can’t actually pick up anything hot, if that makes sense. I can’t really take off stars for that though, because I took a chance on them knowing that it didn’t specify a temperature for safe handling. Still, they are pretty well made and I will get use out of them one way or another.

Excellent gloves for 18 bucks. Nice fit, lots of dexterity, good heat protection up to 100 amps. Been using for 3 months a few hours a week, mostly 18 gauge SS TIG, 80-120 amps. Used during grinding, and handling of sharp parts. Good trade off between durability, dexterity, and protection, and price. Can't beat it for 18 bucks. Last week a hole developed in the thumb and I purchased a new pair again. If I were a professional I could see going through a pair every month, but for the price is a reasonable consumable. Did buy again.

You may argue that point, but try it first. Ya it doesn't have wrist heat protection, but I dont need it, I know not to put my arms on hot surfaces...Super comfortable, and very heat resistant. This glove allows for greater articulation, and give me a much better sense of touch improving my filler rod control.

I work at a job shop and fabricate parts out of stainless steel all day. These gloves are very thin and perfect for having a good feel on my filler metal, but despite how thin they are I'm surprised how well they hold up while handling metal parts which often still have a sharp burr on them. They also do a good job of insulating against heat

I compared these to the new version of the Black Stallion T50 and the Miller 263353. They have the most snug fit of the three, but they are probably also the thinnest. The size medium thas fingers, and especially thumb, that are shorter than on the Miller, so there is no slop at the end affecting dexterity. A little stretching/ break-in of the leather may be required.

These are good for what they are - but, for kevlar _lined_, I found: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHLUFIS gloves. These are just STITCHED with kevlar thread - not lined with kevlar cloth.

best tig gloves out there if you dont like traditional cuffed gloves.

Best TIG gloves on the market! No cuff to get in your way, thick enough to withstand moderate heat and easy to get on and off. Love these gloves!

I love these, great heat resistance.
