TOPDC Welding Gloves 16 Inches 932℉ Fire/Heat Resistant Leather Welding Gloves For Mig, Tig, Stick, Forge, BBQ, Grill, Fireplace, Wood Stove, Furnace, Oven, Animal Handling for Safe, Loving Pet Care

My son used these for his welding class. He said they worked really well, protected his hand and they weren’t hard but flexible. They look nice and sturdy and got the job done. They are regular men sized. He was a sophomore at the time. And he’ll use them again this school year.

Teaching my boy to weld and needed a second pair of gloves. These were more affordable than picking up some name brand ones from our welding supply shop so I grabbed them. They are nice and thick and seem well made. They are a little bigger than I thought they would be as far as fit but my son's hands are bigger and they fit him perfect so I guess he can have the new gloves and I'll keep using my old ones. As far as function and protection, they perform exactly as I would expect any decent pair of welding gloves to.

Good fit. Substantial gloves. Safety first.

I use them for arc welding class. They are pretty durable, and you smell burning leather far before you start to feel heat in your hands. They have held up pretty well, but after a semester (4 months) of class, my right hand (dominant hand) glove is looking pretty rough. That's due to my inexperience and my bad habit of trying to pick up work pieces with my glove when I should be using my pliers instead. Like I said, you smell burning leather well before you start to feel it in your hands, and that's more than enough of an indicator for you to stop and figure out another way to do what you're doing. I'll upload pictures of the gloves later.The dexterity while wearing the gloves is ok. I am able to maneuver the electrode holder pretty well. My trick to make sure the gloves go all the way on my hand is to hold my jacket sleeves while I pull the glove on. This helps make sure my welding jacket sleeves don't push the glove off.There's probably better welding gloves out there, but for the price these are hard to beat, especially if you're a beginner and you have to buy all your own PPE like me.

They are more flexible than a heavy welding glove but did just fine for welding an exhaust up yesterday.I will update this review when this pair finally is burnt out and no longer useful

I'm not into welding but had to search for gloves to pull a patch of evil thistles. Other cowhide gloves I have allowed the stickers to puncture right through them. I am shocked at how well these work - not a single barb into my hands. Highly recommend them for this purpose.

Well made and I can use for the wood stove and not feel the heat when setting new wood in the fire. Which is what I got them for... But, to do anything else with these is almost dangerous. No dexterity due to the large floppy fingers and wide palms. If I reach down they feel like they will fall off and you cannot grab anything and hold on to it for picking up. So not comfortable for anything needing dexterity. Husband told me that they feel the same size as his welding gloves and his hands are a couple sizes larger than mine, so these would work normally for larger hands, I guess. Since they are suede leather I am going to try hand washing to shrink them some for me, like one can do with leather moccasins and make them more comfortable. I do feel these are quality made, just tooooooo big.((Turns out as I use these and the leather softens, they are easier to work with and not as clunky feeling in the fingers))

Why did you pick this product vs others?:For the affordability and purpose of getting them over night. Value for money:Definitely great value for the price
