Frequently asked questions
What matters most when choosing welding gloves?
Match the equipment to the welding process, exposure and required protection first. Fit, visibility, dexterity and comfort matter after the safety requirement is satisfied.
Can one setup cover every welding process?
Not always. TIG, MIG, stick, grinding and high-fume work can create different visibility, heat, spatter and respiratory-control needs.
When should protective gear be replaced?
Inspect it before use and follow the manufacturer's replacement criteria. Damaged lenses, insulation, leather, seams, filters or seals can compromise protection.
