K2982-XL - Lincoln Electric Aluminized High-Heat Welding Gloves - XL

Stay Cool and In Control with Lincoln Electric

Welding at high amperages generates intense heat that can penetrate standard leather gloves, making work uncomfortable and forcing frequent breaks. The Lincoln Electric Heat Resistant Welding Gloves (K2982-XL) are the solution for welders who need to keep their cool when the sparks fly. The secret lies in the innovative aluminized PFR Rayon back panel. This high-tech material acts as a thermal mirror, reflecting 95% of the radiant heat generated by the welding arc away from your hand. By keeping the internal temperature of the glove lower, these gloves allow you to weld longer and more comfortably, even during demanding multi-pass welds.

Comfort doesn't come at the expense of performance. Many high-heat gloves are bulky and stiff, making it difficult to maintain a steady hand or feel the gun trigger. Lincoln Electric solves this by pairing the aluminized back with a premium top grain cowhide palm that is intentionally unlined. This "best of both worlds" construction gives you the heavy-duty heat shielding you need on the back of your hand, while the palm remains sensitive and flexible for superior gun control. Whether you are running a long bead or tacking up a complex assembly, the direct feedback from the unlined palm helps improve weld quality.

Built to last, these gloves are stitched entirely with Kevlar thread. Standard cotton or nylon threads can burn through or rot over time, causing gloves to fall apart. Kevlar stands up to the heat and abuse of the welding environment, ensuring your gloves stay intact. The design also includes a reinforced thumb strap to prevent premature wear in the grip area, and a split cowhide cuff to guard your wrist against sparks. The interior top hand is lined with a flame-retardant foam that adds a layer of cushioning and insulation. For welders who demand professional-grade protection without sacrificing dexterity, the K2982-XL is the ultimate choice.
