Welding Gaunlets

[Iowsean]

Hi guys,
Doing a lot of big heavy structural mig work , and find the cheap welding gauntlets are getting to hot .
Does anyone know , if there is a better quality gauntlet that is any good ?

If standard leather guantlets ain't up to it try the HD ones with the reflective backing. Very good heat resistance.

I use the Miller heavy duty mig gauntlets with the silicone backing, spot I for high amp work

Just consider how your holding the gun
Not saying there is a problem- just a suggestion that can be an instant guaranteed fix if there is an issue

You just can't hold the neck of the gun ( as many do) or slide your glove over much 12 mm plate spraying 1.2 wire without it getting hot in the glove

i use the reflective gloves in work when around teh lead pots and they do a cracking job when your hand is in an inspection port right next to a few ton of molten lead
