Caiman 1828 Welding Gloves

These gloves are built for welders running MIG and TIG processes who need reliable hand protection. The wing thumb and gunn cut give a natural grip on torches and filler rods. Premium A-grade cowhide covers both palm and back for consistent heat resistance. A hook-and-loop cuff secures the fit without slowing down glove changes.

3-D Kontour Pattern and Cowhide Construction

The US-patented 3-D Kontour design uses fourchettes to shape the glove around the hand instead of laying flat. Full cowhide on the palm, back and cuff resists spatter and abrasion while staying supple. Gold-coloured leather makes wear easy to spot during inspection. The 10-inch length adds forearm coverage without bulk.

Limits of Leather Protection in High-Amperage Work

Thick cowhide handles standard MIG and TIG heat well but will degrade faster under sustained high-amperage arcs or heavy splatter. The single-layer back offers less insulation than lined alternatives for prolonged overhead welding. Hook-and-loop closures can collect metal dust and lose grip over time. Users needing certified cut or puncture ratings should verify those standards separately.
