Portwest A500 Welders Gauntlet – Red – X Large Size XL (A500RERXL)

Description

Genuine Portwest · Part no. A500RERXL

Portwest A500 welders gauntlet in red, size XL: a 14in. cow split leather gauntlet, cotton lined throughout, made for welding and handling hot or sharp metal. The long cuff covers the wrist and lower forearm where spatter lands, and it reaches the top EN 407 burn behaviour level and cut level 3.

Good to know

• Is it right for MIG or TIG? Thick lined leather like this suits MIG and stick welding, where spatter is heavy; for TIG, where you need fingertip feel to feed the rod, a thinner goatskin glove is easier.
• Can I handle freshly welded metal in it? It is made for welding heat and spatter, but use pliers or tongs for anything glowing and never cool the glove by dipping it in water.
• How should it fit? Loose enough to shake off quickly if a hot piece gets inside the cuff, with the cuff worn over the overall sleeve.

Which one?

For TIG welding, the Portwest A520 TIG Welding Gauntlets (A520GRRL large, A520GRRXL XL). A one size welding gauntlet: the Weldfast Welders Gauntlets (WLD00180).
