I was in the market looking for TIG welding gloves because it seemed like all the expensive brand name gloves weren't going to last long. Little did I know these gloves are great for Tig but also good for a heavy stick. I used these gloves to stick my rod in all day and not once did my hands get hot or burn. I can then turn around and use them for a TIG and still have a lot of control over my wire while I feed it. They are light and comfortable, don't sweat your hands. But with the addition of Kevlar inside, you won't get burned pulling a used rod from your stray stinger out of your rig. I have already bought 3 pairs from this seller and will continue to buy these gloves from now on.
