Welding Glove Selection — Quick Reference
Welding gloves = one of the most CRITICAL PPE items for any welder — protect hands + wrists from RADIANT HEAT + SPATTER + UV RADIATION + CONTACT BURNS across MIG + TIG + STICK + OXY-ACETYLENE processes. Right glove balances PROTECTION + DEXTERITY + DURABILITY per process.
| Welding Glove Type | Best For | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| MIG / Stick Welding Glove (Heavy) | Heavy heat + spatter — bulk glove for protection | AS/NZS 2161.4 |
| TIG Welding Glove (Lightweight) | Maximum dexterity + lower heat — Kid leather + thin | AS/NZS 2161.4 |
| Oxy / Cutting Glove | Gas welding + brazing + cutting — heavy cuff + heat | AS/NZS 2161.4 |
| Aluminised / Heat-Reflective | Extreme heat + foundry + casting work | Specialty |
| Cowhide Standard | Workshop standard — durable + cost-effective | — |
| Kid Leather (Soft / Premium) | TIG precision welding | — |
| Elk / Deerskin (Premium MIG) | Soft + heat-resistant + premium | — |
| Kevlar-Lined | Extra cut + abrasion protection | — |
| Long Cuff (200-450mm) | Wrist + forearm protection — overhead welding | — |
Critical: Match glove to PROCESS — bulk MIG glove on TIG = no dexterity; thin TIG glove on Stick = burned hands. AS/NZS 2161.4 governs welding gloves in AU. Replace damaged gloves IMMEDIATELY — hole + crack = spatter through to skin. Brands: Frontier, Bossweld, Bisley. Companion: welding safety, welding helmets, welding jackets, welding eye protection.
Protect Your Hands in the Weld Zone with Industrial Welding Gloves
Welding gloves are one of the most critical PPE items for any welder — protecting hands and wrists from radiant heat, spatter, UV radiation and contact burns across MIG, TIG, stick and oxy-acetylene welding processes.
The right glove balances protection with the dexterity required for the process: TIG welding demands thin, flexible gloves for precise torch control; MIG and stick welding can tolerate heavier gauntlet-style protection.
AIMS Industrial sells welding gloves for industrial welding applications from Bossweld, BossSafe and Frontier — welding consumables and PPE brands supplying fabricators, manufacturers and tradespeople across Australia.
The Welding Gloves Range
Our product range covers TIG gloves in goat skin, standard welding gloves and gauntlet-style wrist protection for MIG, stick and general welding applications.
- Bossweld: Bossweld offers welding gloves including TIG Welding Gloves in long pair and Goat Skin TIG Gloves with reinforced fingers and 36cm cuff. Bossweld’s TIG gloves are produced in soft, thin goat skin that provides the tactile sensitivity needed for precise torch positioning and filler wire feeding in TIG welding — where fingertip control directly affects weld quality. The extended 36cm cuff protects the wrist and lower forearm from radiant heat during overhead and positional TIG work.
- BossSafe: BossSafe offers welding gloves for general PPE requirements. BossSafe is a safety PPE brand in the Boss Welding group, covering hand protection, eye protection and safety garments for welding and industrial applications.
- Frontier: Frontier offers welding gloves including Gauntlet Welders in blue and green. Frontier’s gauntlet welders feature extended cuff protection for MIG and stick welding applications where spatter exposure and wrist protection are the priority over fingertip dexterity.
Choosing the Right Welding Gloves
The welding process is the primary factor in glove selection — TIG, MIG and stick welding have different protection and dexterity requirements.
- TIG Welding Gloves: TIG welding requires precise torch control and filler rod feeding with bare fingertips or thin gloves. TIG gloves (Bossweld) use thin, soft goat skin or similar fine-grained leather that allows fingertip sensitivity while still providing heat and UV protection. Avoid heavy MIG/stick gloves for TIG — the loss of tactile feedback significantly reduces weld quality.
- MIG & Stick Welding Gloves: MIG and stick welding generate higher spatter levels and require more thermal protection than TIG. Gauntlet-style welding gloves (Frontier) with extended cuffs and heavier leather construction are the correct choice — dexterity requirements are lower and protection is the priority.
- Cuff Length: Longer cuffs (30–36cm) protect the lower arm and wrist during overhead, positional and pipe welding where wrist exposure increases. For flat welding, standard cuff length is typically sufficient.
