OVERVIEW

Stay Cool Under Pressure with Lincoln Electric

Welding at high amperages generates intense radiant heat that can penetrate standard leather gloves, leading to discomfort and reduced productivity. The Lincoln Electric K2982-L Aluminized Heat Resistant Welding Gloves are the solution for welders who need to stay cool while laying down heavy beads. The secret lies in the aluminized PFR Rayon back hand, a high-tech material that acts like a mirror for heat, reflecting 95% of radiant energy away from your hand. This innovative design keeps your hands cooler for longer, allowing you to focus on the puddle rather than the heat.

Precision Control and Reduced Fatigue

A common complaint with heavy-duty heat gloves is the loss of feel. Lincoln Electric solves this with a smart hybrid lining design. While the back of the hand is cushioned with flame-retardant foam for protection, the palm remains unlined. This unlined top grain cowhide palm gives you the direct feedback you need for precise trigger control and torch manipulation. By reducing the bulk in the palm, these gloves also help decrease hand fatigue during long shifts, making them a favorite for professional fabricators.

Built Tough for the Shop

These gloves aren't just about heat resistance; they are built to last. Every seam is stitched with high-strength Kevlar® thread, ensuring that the gloves won't fall apart even after exposure to sparks and heat. The reinforced thumb strap adds extra durability to a common high-wear area, extending the life of the glove. With a 13-inch length and a sturdy gauntlet cuff, the K2982-L provides ample protection for your wrists and forearms. Whether you are Stick welding structural steel or running hot flux-cored wire, these gloves provide the protection and performance you expect from the Lincoln Electric brand.

FAQ

The K2982-L SKU specifically refers to the Large size. They are also available in Extra Large under a different SKU.

The aluminized PFR Rayon back is designed to reflect approximately 95% of radiant heat, keeping the user's hands significantly cooler than standard leather gloves.

No, they feature a hybrid lining design. The back of the hand has a flame-retardant foam lining for heat protection, while the palm is unlined to maximize dexterity and control.

The gloves are sewn entirely with Kevlar® thread, which offers superior heat resistance and seam strength compared to standard threads.

No, machine washing is not recommended for these gloves as it can damage the leather and the aluminized coating. They should be kept dry and cleaned with a soft brush if necessary.

The gloves are 13 inches long, featuring a gauntlet cuff that provides extended protection for the wrist and lower forearm.

The palm is constructed from Top Grain Cowhide, which provides a good balance of durability and flexibility.

While they can be used, they are generally considered too bulky for fine TIG work. They are best suited for high-heat MIG, Stick, or Flux-Cored welding.
