Choosing welding gloves
Match the glove to the process
TIG welding needs fine control of the torch and filler rod, so a thinner, softer glove such as the Bossweld TIG glove suits it better than a heavy gauntlet. MIG and stick welding throw more spatter and heat, so a heavier leather gauntlet is the usual choice. For more on the differences, see our welding gloves guide.
Cuff length
A longer cuff covers more of the wrist and forearm, which matters for overhead, positional and pipe welding. For flat welding a shorter cuff is often enough. Check the length in the product title or description.
Lined or unlined
A fleece-lined glove adds comfort and some insulation, while an unlined glove is thinner and gives better feel. Choose to suit the heat and the dexterity you need.
Glove savers
An aluminised Kevlar glove saver slips over the glove to add heat protection where it is needed, and can extend the life of the glove underneath.
Replacing gloves
Replace gloves when the leather is burnt, hard, split or worn through at the palm or fingers. A hole lets spatter reach the skin.
Always check the data sheet
Materials, cuff lengths, linings and the standard a glove is certified to differ between products. Confirm these on the product page or data sheet before you buy, and ask us if you are unsure what suits your process.

Welding gloves FAQs
Can I use a heavy MIG or stick glove for TIG welding?
You can, but you lose feel. TIG welding needs fine control of the torch and filler rod, so a thinner, softer glove is a better fit than a heavy gauntlet.
What cuff length do I need?
A longer cuff protects more of the wrist and forearm, which helps for overhead, positional and pipe welding. For flat welding a shorter cuff is often enough.
Why are goat skin gloves used for TIG welding?
Goat skin is thin and soft, which gives the fingertip feel needed for TIG, while still protecting the hand from heat.
What is the difference between a gauntlet and a standard welding glove?
A gauntlet has an extended cuff that covers the wrist and part of the forearm. It suits MIG and stick welding where spatter exposure and wrist cover matter more than fingertip feel.
What is a glove saver?
A glove saver is an aluminised Kevlar cover that goes over the welding glove to add heat protection and help the glove last longer.
When should I replace my welding gloves?
Replace them when the leather is burnt, hard, split or worn through. A hole lets spatter reach your skin.
