I don't think I'd trust my eyes with that. Dirt cheap (£13.99), dodgy description from a seller of household goods and beauty aids, with nearly 5% negative feedback.

IMO just get another Esab lid, an A40, they are better built than the old warriors, have true colour, have replaceable batteries, and the headgear is decent.
cheap parwelds etc are just rubbish. And definitely avoid SIP, we bought 2 for tacking and the headgear snapped on them both within 6 months.

‘The greatest glove of all is happening to me!
And it’s these ones:

If they did them with slightly longer fingers they’d be perfect. The people who make them make welding gauntlets but seem to be the ones that give you the dexterity of Mickey Mouse. These are halfway between a tig glove and a gauntlet. Excellent for actual gardening too. Yellow gloves down the garden centre do not compare.
‘No matter what they take from me they’ll never take away my tig dc!’
*if you aren’t familiar with George benson or Whitney Houston parts of this post will make very little sense!

For general metal handling, grinding and welding for the price I find the Himalayan work gloves fairly decent. For the longer heavier welding and arc welding I've started using the tegera 17 gloves which I'm preferring to the gauntlets as more agile.
To be honest my experience with the Warrior has put me off Esab. The stupid non-replaceable battery, the fact that it's died anyway. And it never used to stay up no matter how tight I did it up.
Anything with a simple curve will be fine. Its easy to make your own.
