Clothing and Safety Gear for Welding

By choosing the right clothing and safety gear for welding, you protect your skin from serious injury and UV exposure, and you safeguard against fumes and other hazards. If you know what to look for, it’s not difficult to find top-quality, affordable products for all types of welding. The best types of materials for jackets and other welding apparel is denim, leather, wool and cotton. Synthetic materials tend to burn easily and fall apart with prolonged heat exposure.
Gloves are just one thing to consider when purchasing PPEs. When protecting your hands and arms, you can purchase long gloves that cover both the hands and the forearms or opt for a gauntlet that attaches to the end of your gloves. Regardless of which you prefer, quality gloves like the Tillman 1328 welding glove keep your hands safe.

The Tillman 1328 TIG Welding Glove

The Tillman 1328 TIG welding glove is an affordable piece of welding apparel for both individual and company use. It features long cuffs for forearm protection, so an additional gauntlet is not needed. Because TIG welders use their forefinger to control the trigger on the welding gun, a seamless design is preferred for increased comfort when laying a weld.
Goatskin is a preferred leather for welding gloves due to its flexibility and light weight. Goatskin also has a smooth texture and a soft grain for maximum comfort, and it's resistant to punctures and abrasion. Because it's cost-effective, goatskin is ideal for those on a budget.

John Tillman Co.

The John Tillman Co has been in business since 1928. When it was founded, the company’s main goal was to produce quality personal protection products for welders and other industrial workers. One of the very first glove models made by Tillman is still in production today, which says a lot about the reliability of its products.
The company manufactures a complete line of merchandise, including welding blankets, curtains, gloves and apparel, giving you hundreds of PPEs to choose from. All products are compliant with industry safety standards and focus on the productivity and comfort of the worker.

TIG Welding Protection

Unlike MIG and arc welding, TIG welding produces the lowest amount of heat, spark and splatter, but the heat that builds up on the torch and welding medium is still intense enough to cause burns and injury. For this reason, PPEs are a must.
One of the biggest factors to consider with TIG welding gloves is the level of touch sensitivity. TIG welding requires a light touch and an immense amount of hand coordination. The hand of the glove should fit snugly without a lot of extra material, and it’s important to measure your hands to ensure an exact fit.
