Tillman Welding Gloves - Aluminized Back Extreme Heat Gloves 820BHP

I have bought two sets of these gloves and they both have the same design flaw. The stitching between the aluminize back in the leather palm seems to fails within a few days creating holes in the fingertips. Perhaps maybe if they use Kevlar thread or maybe if they put the aluminized backing on a standard leather glove. But they are great in high heat situations for as long as they last which about two weeks too much money for such a short life expectancy

If a person does a lot of heavy duty wire feed welding... 1/16th Inch 250 I/s 300amp 25 volt stuff, these would work really really well. I really get sick of hot hands and having to switch off hands and shake the glove to cool it down, with these you wont have to do that. I think they would work pretty good for light and medium duty air arc stuff, up to 500amps DCEP.

Fit wise, my hands are an x-large, and these fit decently. The backhand pad doesnt really get in the way, and it does take a few mins to get used to them. I was building up some DTH hammer chucks and subs and my hands never got hot running 1/8th inch stoody 2110 at about 170amps. Normally my left glove gets a lil toasty doing that.
