There's a hole in my TIG glove, dear forum, a hole...

Any recommendations for good TIG gloves?

Well patch it dear Al, patch it!

I have not yet used for tig, but these feel good quality and fit.

Ultima were good but my last pairs were a bit questionable with odd shaped fingers and some poor stitching. I've got about 5 pairs.
The Pred ones, which I only have one pair, seem a better quality, so far.

I think I got my last pair from tool station when I bought my SIP mask...don't think they were expensive and I didn't expect much from them, but I was mig welding at the time and they stood up to that...bought tig gloves as I like the dexterity they give but they have lasted maybe 8 months of mig welding with solid and gasless wire

I like ultima gold... Cheap and wear very well. Eventually they wear out just like all gloves do.

Blue tape surely? That's what my stick welding gloves have got

Thanks all for the advice. I think the last ones I had were those Predator ones @Kram linked to. I didn't have any issues with them (until they gained a hole), so maybe I'll just go with the same again. I'll definitely have a look at the Ultima ones too.

I knocked the glove stack on the floor the other day and the mice chewed them.
I bought them from john davies welding so they are not exactly new, but years left in them.
The mice didn't touch the mig gloves, clearly mig gloves don't taste good.

All gloves have a hole in them, how else do you get your hand inside?

Blinking mice, they ate mine in a similar fashion, and all the padding off my skid for going under cars and my welding apron!
They were living in my bag of rags cheeky little blighters!
Still got some in the workshop as I saw one the other evening, can never get rid of them, too much food around so they don't bother with bait or baited traps.
One ate my dad's boiler wiring before Christmas and left him without heating and hot water for a week, it cooked itself and the boiler PCB.

Mice! You should keep a few fresh pairs on the floor for them to keep them out of your tig!

These are my favourite Tig gloves FWIW. Nice shape to them, very comfortable yet not too light.

You really need to buy them from a physical shop and try them on as the sizing varies greatly.
There's nothing worse than a spare bit of glove past the end of your finger, particularly when trying to feed filler rod.
It doesn't matter if its the same make and same size of glove, each one will be a slightly different size.
I guess it depends on which Chinese lady sewed it up!
