Key Features

Level 3 Flame Resistance

Meets EN 407 standard for contact heat, withstanding 100℃ contact heat for at least 15 seconds. Provides reliable protection against welding spatter and sparks.

Premium Split Cowhide

Selected thick split leather offers excellent heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and durability.

Canted Finger Design

The fingers are pre-curved to match the natural resting position of the hand, providing a more comfortable grip on welding torches and reducing hand strain.

Extended Cuff

35cm length protects the wrist and forearm from sparks and debris.

Applications

Welding: Arc welding, MIG/TIG welding, gas shielded welding.
Metal Cutting: Oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting.
Metallurgy: Furnace operations, handling hot metal parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does "Level 3 Flame Resistance" mean in practical terms?

A: Under the EN 407 standard, Level 3 is a high rating for contact heat. It means the glove can maintain its insulating properties when in contact with a 100℃ (212℉) surface for at least 15 seconds before the temperature inside the glove rises to a painful level. This is crucial for handling hot workpieces or protecting against radiant heat in welding.

Q: Can I use these gloves for heavy-duty forging or touching molten metal?

A: No. These are designed for welding and associated tasks. Direct immersion in molten metal or prolonged contact with extremely heavy hot loads requires specialized aluminized gloves or higher-spec heat protection. The leather will carbonize and crack if exposed to extreme heat for too long.

Q: How should I maintain the leather?

A: Keep the gloves dry. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash. Applying a leather conditioner occasionally can help maintain flexibility, but avoid flammable oils.

Q: Why is the canted finger design better?

A: Standard straight fingers can bunch up at the palm when you grip a tool, causing fatigue. Canted fingers are already bent, so they conform to the tool handle naturally, offering better control and less hand fatigue over long shifts.
