I got a wood burner last autumn and must confess to loving it (sad ehh!!) . It came with a really nice red welding glove to allow you to put logs in and rearrange the fire sometimes.
After a while I managed to burn a hole in the glove, but, the insulation inside the glove protected me from any burns. So I bought some replacement gloves from eBay… nice and cheap … boy were they cheap.

The replacements had no inside insulation and I am feeling the heat through them…
So I have gone to one of the greatest sources if information on the planet the STW forum…. can anyone recommend me a good welding glove?

All the very best and thanks in anticipation.

Become best of friends with a lefthanded welder so you can have all his righthand welding gloves!

Try Arco – branches everywhere and they sell to non-trade.

Arco welding gloves

Although some may be a bit over specced!
Not cheap!

You will have a local BOC,they usually stock very nice ones.

Don’t know where you’re based but if you have a Mole valley farmers near you they do a really nice welding gauntlet, nice soft leather with internal insulation and well priced.

I am near Rugby.. Midlands…. in the little village of Willey.
Small village but big on cycling. Over 10% of the village are regular cyclists.

Not welders though 🙂

Welding gloves come in many thicknesses, depending upon their intended use.

Machine mart do some pretty thick ones, if you have a store nearby, or you can order online (search for red welding gauntlet)

Eyepic, i have just the welding gauntlet you are after. and i’m about 12 miles away! interested?

I have machine Mart red welding mits – that are thick and insulated – work well when I is welding !

Clearview Stoves gloves………. lovely. Red and insulated.

Aldi do them sometimes as well.

rbrstr Yes please

Do tell more

Foundry gloves are better suited to your needs than welders gloves. A bit more expensive but designed to protect from high temps for extended periods.Cyberman maybe a little OTT these but you get the idea.

Eyepic, these are a very heavy duty Mig welding glove,brand new,
i can mail you a photo if you want to give me an email address? yours for the price of postage, or free if you want to collect? I have loads,happy to help a fellow cyclist.

got one of these with my stove
