SM613 - Large Insulated Split Leather Work Gloves

Rugged Winter Gear for the Job Site

For welders and fabricators working on outdoor sites or in drafty shops, cold hands can be a major safety hazard and productivity killer. The Large Insulated Work Glove (SM613) is built to tackle the dual challenges of mechanical wear and freezing temperatures. While not designed for precision TIG welding, these gloves are the ultimate accessory for site preparation, material handling, and general heavy-duty labor when the mercury falls.

The foundation of the SM613 is its robust split leather construction. Leather remains the gold standard for industrial durability, capable of withstanding the rough edges of metal plate, structural steel, and grinding debris. The leather covers the palm, thumb, and fingertips, and includes a knuckle strap across the back of the hand to protect against impact and scrapes. This rugged exterior ensures the glove lasts through tough shifts, resisting tears and wear that would destroy lesser synthetic gloves.

Inside, the glove features a thermal lining designed to retain warmth without causing excessive sweating. Cold steel pulls heat away from the body rapidly; the insulation in these gloves acts as a critical thermal break, allowing you to handle frozen materials comfortably. The wing thumb construction is a subtle but important detail, reducing seam stress and allowing for a more comfortable grip on tools, shovels, or stock materials.

Designed for the practical needs of the tradesperson, the SM613 includes a rigid safety cuff. This cuff style is essential for heavy industry as it provides extra wrist coverage against glancing blows and sparks, while also facilitating easy removal. The cotton canvas back allows the glove to breathe, preventing moisture buildup inside that could lead to cold hands later in the day. When your work takes you out of the booth and into the elements, trust the SM613 to provide the warmth and protection required to get the job done safely.
