Use these mitts for welding jobs that don’t require high dexterity. Since they have fewer separated fingers than gloves, they block more heat, and they’re easier to slip on or off. They also reduce the risk of pinky shrink, which happens when heat causes a glove’s pinky area to shrivel. All have a separated index finger so you can squeeze the trigger of your welding gun.

Goatskin mitts are soft, so you can feel finer details than other mitts. Pigskin mitts don’t stiffen when they’re wet. Cowhide mitts balance durability and comfort.

Mitts with a reinforced thumb, palm, or fingers have an extra layer of material to add durability in high-wear areas.

Mitts with a separated middle finger give you more dexterity than mitts with only the index finger separated.

Mitts that meet ANSI/ISEA 105 standards are rated for various forms of protection, such as resistance to abrasions and heat. The higher the rating, the greater the protection.

Mitts that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by import regulations.
