Ultimate Guide to Welding Gloves: MIG, TIG & Gauntlets for Maximum Protection

Are you searching for the best welders glove, mig welding gloves, or tig welding gloves in the UK or Ireland? At Norsemen Safety, we offer top-tier welding gloves, welders gloves, welding glove solutions, and welding gauntlets designed for professional welders demanding safety and performance.

Why Choose the Right Welding Gloves?

When welding—whether MIG, TIG, or stick welding, it’s important to protect your hands, face and body from heat, spatter, sharp metal, and abrasion. A quality welding glove not only safeguards your skin but gives you confidence and control. Use gloves intended for welding, not DIY insulated gloves that can melt or cause injuries.

Types of Welding Gloves: Find Your Perfect Fit

1. MIG Welding Gloves (Mig Welders Gloves)

• Built tough with cowhide or split leather and reinforced with Kevlar stitching for superior heat and abrasion resistance.
• Designed for heavy-duty work, ideal for MIG welding, fabrication, and metal handling.

2. TIG Welding Gloves

• Thinner leather (like goatskin or kidskin) with minimal lining permits greater dexterity, letting you feed filler rods precisely.
• Popular picks include Spiderhand series or Miller TIG gloves, offering excellent tactile sensitivity.

3. Welding Gauntlets (Welding Gauntlets)

• With extended cuffs for wrist and forearm protection, these are perfect for high-heat tasks like arc welding or foundry work.
