Product Breakdown: Reinforced Palm Stick Welding Gloves
Built for High-Wear, High-Heat Welding
Our gloves combine black dyed split cowhide with a gold cowhide palm reinforcement for superior abrasion and heat resistance. The plush fleece and cotton lining provides comfort and moisture management, while extra-wide palm and thumb guards extend glove life in the most punishing environments.
Technical Features:
Black azo-free side split cowhide shell
Gold cowhide split leather palm reinforcement
Fleece/cotton padded lining for comfort and moisture control
Wide palm guard and thumb reinforcement
Kevlar® stitching for seam durability and spark resistance
EN388 tested, ISO certified, batch traceable
Why Reinforced Palms Matter in Stick Welding
Stick welding exposes gloves to constant friction, sparks, and sharp edges. Only reinforced palm gloves with robust materials and certified liners can prevent premature wear, protect your crew from injury, and lower glove turnover and cost.
