Professional Welding Gloves for Heat, Flame & Spatter Protection
CSP Forestry stocks professional welding gloves for MIG, TIG, stick, and general heat-exposure applications. Our welding glove selection includes split-leather and grain-leather designs rated for radiant heat and weld spatter, lined gloves for added thermal protection, and longer-cuff models for forearm protection during overhead welding. Brands include Lincoln Electric, Black Stallion, Revco, and others trusted by professional welders in construction, fabrication, and field maintenance environments.
For logging and forestry crews who also perform field repairs and equipment maintenance involving welding, having the right welding gloves on site is as important as chainsaw PPE. Pair welding gloves with safety glasses or a welding shield, flame-resistant clothing, and appropriate hearing protection from our ear protection collection. For general hand protection during non-welding work, browse our work gloves and safety gloves collections for the right tool for every task.
Welding Gloves FAQs
What type of welding gloves do I need for MIG welding?
MIG welding gloves are typically heavier duty than TIG gloves because MIG generates more spatter. Look for grain or split-leather construction with reinforced palms and fingers, and a gauntlet cuff for wrist protection. For TIG welding requiring fine control, thinner leather gloves with better dexterity are preferred. Browse our welding gloves for options by application.
Can I use welding gloves for other heat-exposure tasks?
Yes. Welding gloves are useful for any task involving direct heat exposure—including handling hot materials, operating near open flames, or clearing slash after burning in forestry operations. They are not a substitute for chemical-resistant gloves or cut-resistant gloves for those specific hazards. Browse the full range in our welding gloves collection.
Do welding gloves protect against electrical shock?
Leather welding gloves provide some incidental electrical insulation, but they are not rated as electrical protective gloves. For work involving electrical hazards, use rubber insulating gloves rated to the appropriate voltage class under ASTM D120. Welding gloves are rated for heat and flame, not electrical protection.
Should I wear flame-resistant clothing with welding gloves?
Yes. Welding gloves protect your hands but weld spatter can ignite synthetic clothing immediately. Always wear flame-resistant clothing when welding or performing hot work. FR coveralls, shirts, and jackets should cover all exposed skin above the glove cuff. Browse our FR coveralls for options.
