Product Overview
The Welders 210 Split Leather Red Gauntlet is a robust piece of personal protective equipment designed to withstand the rigorous demands of thermal tasks. Spanning 14 inches in length, these gauntlets offer extended coverage beyond the wrist, providing a substantial barrier between the user and the hazards of the workshop. Crafted from premium cow split leather, they are engineered specifically for those involved in welding and metal handling where heat and sparks are a constant factor.
Key Features
- The 14-inch length provides extensive forearm protection, ensuring that stray sparks or heat do not reach the skin above the glove line.
- Premium cow split leather construction offers superior durability and abrasion resistance, meaning the gauntlets can withstand the harsh friction of metal handling.
- A full internal cotton liner improves user comfort during long shifts and helps to absorb moisture, preventing the hands from slipping inside the glove.
- The vibrant red colour ensures high visibility in a busy workshop environment, making it easier to locate your safety gear when it is most needed.
Design & Performance
In the world of metal fabrication, the choice of material is everything. These gauntlets utilise a substantial grade of cow split leather that is naturally resilient to heat. Unlike synthetic alternatives, this leather does not melt when exposed to high temperatures, providing a reliable shield for the wearer. The performance is further enhanced by the internal lining; the cotton fabric creates a breathable micro-environment for the hand, which is essential when working in the high-ambient temperatures common in welding bays. The overall construction is sturdy and feels substantial on the hand, offering the confidence required when handling heavy-duty materials.
Why No Customisation?
While we pride ourselves on our customisation expertise, these Welders 210 Gauntlets are provided without the option for embroidery or printing. This is a deliberate decision based on safety. Introducing threads or heat-applied transfers to protective leather could potentially compromise the thermal resistance of the material or create weak points where heat could penetrate. To ensure you remain fully protected to the manufacturer's specification, these items are sold as-is.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are indispensable for professional welders, blacksmiths, and metal fabricators. They are also highly suitable for anyone handling hot metal components or working in environments where heavy-duty hand protection against heat-related tasks is a primary requirement.

Practical Advice
When selecting your gauntlets, ensure a snug but comfortable fit to maintain dexterity. Leather will naturally mould to the shape of your hand over time, but it should never be so tight that it restricts movement. We recommend checking your gauntlets regularly for signs of wear or thinning leather, as the integrity of the material is your primary line of defence.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your leather gauntlets, they must be stored in a cool, dry place. Leather is a natural material that can degrade if left in damp conditions or if it becomes saturated with oils and greases. Keeping them dry ensures the leather remains supple and does not become brittle.
We advise against washing these gauntlets in a domestic machine. Immersion in water can strip the natural oils from the leather, causing it to shrink and harden once dry. Instead, gently wipe away surface debris with a dry cloth. By treating the material with care, you ensure that the gauntlets continue to provide the thermal protection for which they were designed.
