Welding gloves PPE

PPE welding gloves provide essential thermal protection against radiant heat, sparks, cuts and abrasions generated during welding processes. They also provide grip, comfort and flexibility when handling hot metal tools. Quality models, such as those offered by RAG Tailors, are constructed from heat-resistant materials — such as natural leather — and comply with European safety standards, such as EN 12477. Another important benefit is protection against low-intensity electrical shocks and mechanical injuries, making them indispensable for professional welders in industrial environments.

The choice of gloves should take into account the type of welding to be carried out. For MIG/MAG welding, thicker and longer gloves are recommended that can withstand intense heat and constant sparks. For TIG welding, it is preferable to use thinner and more flexible welding gloves, which allow greater manual dexterity without compromising thermal protection. At RAG Tailors, we offer several models designed for different levels of thermal protection and types of work, ensuring that you find the ideal glove for your activity in the welding sector.

The most common and effective material for welding gloves is leather, especially cow or goat leather, due to its heat resistance, flexibility and durability. For added comfort, many professional gloves include cotton or wool linings that help insulate heat. The models sold by RAG Tailors are made from selected materials, tested for demanding environments, ensuring a balance between safety, comfort and performance. In addition, the materials must be resistant to abrasion and comply with relevant standards, such as EN 388 and EN 407.

To ensure greater durability and safety, welding gloves should only be used in the appropriate context and kept clean and dry. They should not be exposed to oils, solvents or surfaces that are too hot beyond what is tolerated. After use, it is advisable to store the gloves in a ventilated place and away from direct heat sources. Damaged gloves should be replaced immediately. RAG Tailors recommends consulting the manufacturer's instructions and offers robust models that maintain their performance even in demanding working environments.

Leather welding gloves are distinguished by their robust design and high heat resistance. While other safety gloves may be designed for chemicals, cutting or electricity, welding gloves are optimised to withstand sparks, radiant heat and molten spatter. Leather provides an ideal combination of suppleness and mechanical strength, essential for prolonged welding tasks. When choosing RAG Tailors models, the user benefits from a specific selection aimed at professional welders, with reinforcements in critical areas and a reinforced finish for maximum durability.

Yes, welding gloves must comply with European standards that guarantee their effectiveness as PPE. The main standards are EN 12477 (for welding gloves), EN 388 (mechanical resistance) and EN 407 (protection against heat and fire). These certifications ensure that the product has been tested and is suitable for use in environments with high thermal and mechanical risk. At RAG Tailors, compliance with these standards is a priority. That is why all our available models of thermal protection gloves are certified, providing confidence and safety with each use.
