The GS1715 is a high quality impact protective glove truly made for welding by using proven 100% genuine leather for the outer shell rather than cloth or synthetic rubber. The protective leather guards provide superior metacarpal defense and insulation from heat but also offer amazing flexibility despite such heavy duty protection. Our RestPatch feature provides padded comfort for the wrist bone while our DragPatch feature adds durability and padding to the hot zone part of the hand. Expect durable dexterity from the grain leather palm with rugged split cowhide fingers.
