long cuff gloves

[wheresmejumper]

does anyone know a uk supplier of curved long cuff welding gloves like these?
not the exact ones,just the general form

can only find them in the US but would prefer to avoid import taxes and high shipping

they come half way up my forearm and fit my fingers nicely

 

[wheresmejumper]

i meant curved as in they have a more natural shape,and fit your hand better
like these esab but a longer cuff

How about a pair of sleeves instead?

 

[wheresmejumper]

i have a pair of sleeves i wear a lot with stick,but they can be a bit irritating at times.

im just being a picky ****** really!

Can you not just use the tig gloves from Weldequip ?? I was thinking of getting a pair for mig welding or is there a difference ?? I would like more dexterity...

What i do is use a tig glove for the torch hand and a gauntlet for the other (leaning on hot stuff) hand. I find it much easier like this to press the torch trigger.

+1 on the TIG glove for the trigger hand. Works a treat for me.

Are these any good for stick welding?
