Portwest A520 Premium Tig Welding Gauntlets – Grey – X Large Size XL (A520GRRXL)

Description

Genuine Portwest · Part no. A520GRRXL

The extra large (XL) Portwest A520 TIG gauntlet in grey, for welders with bigger hands who still want the close feel TIG work needs. Flexible goatskin on the palm and fingers, a tough split leather cuff, Kevlar thread in every seam, and type B approval under EN 12477 for TIG welding.

Good to know

• Does a bigger size lose the feel? A TIG glove should fit closely without pinching; if large gloves make your fingers numb or stop you closing your hand on the torch, the XL keeps both feel and blood flow.
• What does the Kevlar stitching do? Cotton thread can char and let seams open up near the arc; Kevlar copes with heat far better, so the glove holds together longer.
• What should I wear with them? A welding helmet of the right shade and flame-resistant sleeves, because a TIG arc gives off strong ultraviolet light that burns bare skin.

Which one?

One size down: Portwest A520 TIG Welding Gauntlets Large (A520GRRL). For heavier spatter, the Portwest A500 Welders Gauntlet (A500RERXL) or the Weldfast Welders Gauntlets (WLD00180).
