Welding Glove suggestions

Jim,
Here's a link to what I think are the gloves I have. The description doesn't mention Kevlar. 3 Pair 14" Split Cowhide Welding Gloves
Stuck

Do they have Kevlar threads?

Jim,
I checked the package of HF gloves when I got home and saw no mention of the threads.

Those are huge. Reminds me of what I used to wear for O/A welding. I'll stick to the Tillman 1350's.

Thanks Jim- the heat Does get intense pretty quick with the general use gloves i am using now. Do you know anything about the (tig finger advertised on welding web?) wondering if it would be much help? reviews say it may be just fiber glass At one work place we had a pair of Nomex gloves - but don't see much mention of them on welding sites

I am good friends with the guy who makes the TIG finger and I tell you I love it. I use one all the time for plasma cutting and tig welding. Great little tool.
As far as gloves go, I want the least amount of insulation I can stand. For 95% of my welding I use the Tillman drivers gloves. They have a goat skin Palm with rough leather back and are super easy to weld in. Don't withstand a lot of heat but I like them.

I love my tig finger and wish the whole glove was made of it.

Thanks for the tig finger info, good to know it works, Eventually going to get one or more and some Tillmans,
- for the short term, stopped at the local Co-Op today and picked up some goatskin gloves that are lined for under $9 and they do seem to work for the low amp tig at least (decent) dexterity and more heat shielding than the gloves I was using.
still have a pair or two of the thick leather stick welding gloves, but the dexterity just isn't there for me when trying to tig. i like them for stick welding just fine.
