STEINER 0260-S TIG Welding Gloves Kidskin Nomex 10 in S

TIG Welding Gloves with Kidskin Palm

The Steiner 0260-S gloves are designed for TIG welding tasks requiring fine dexterity. A Grade A or B kidskin palm provides a soft, tactile surface for precise torch control. The 10-inch length covers the wrist and lower forearm during operation. Sold as a single pair in size small for left and right hands.

Nomex Back Resists Heat During Long Runs

The glove back and cuff use Nomex material to withstand sustained radiant heat and occasional spatter. An elastic cuff helps seal the wrist opening against debris while maintaining a secure fit. Gunn cut construction reduces seam bulk across the palm for comfort during extended welding sessions. Kidskin retains flexibility even after repeated heat cycles.

Limits of Leather and Fabric Protection

Kidskin leather offers abrasion resistance but will degrade under heavy mechanical wear or prolonged direct flame contact. The 10-inch cuff does not shield the upper forearm or elbow from splatter in overhead positions. Nomex provides thermal resistance yet is not rated for molten metal immersion or chemical exposure. Users needing full-arm coverage or heavy-duty stick welding protection should select a longer, heavier gauntlet style.
