OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Goatskin TIG & Driver Gloves

Welders Supply is proud to offer the Kunz 114 Grain Goatskin Gloves, a versatile solution for the professional tradesperson. While traditionally categorized as a driver or roper glove, the Kunz 114 has found a dedicated following in the welding community, particularly for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG). The primary advantage of goatskin over cowhide or pigskin is its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It allows the leather to be cut thinner for better touch sensitivity while maintaining high abrasion and tear resistance, a crucial combination for manipulating TIG torches and filler metals.

The construction of the Kunz 114 is focused on longevity and comfort. The Keystone thumb construction provides superior articulation compared to straight or wing thumbs, reducing hand fatigue during extended shifts. The Gunn cut design removes bunching material from the palm area, providing a smoother grip on tools and materials. An elasticized back ensures the glove fits snugly around the wrist, preventing metal shavings, dirt, and sparks from easily entering the glove.

This specific SKU (KG-114-NAV-XL) represents the Extra Large size, identified by its navy blue cloth hem binding. This color-coding system simplifies inventory management and ensures workers can quickly grab the right size. For welders and fabricators looking for a multi-purpose glove that transitions seamlessly from the welding table to the forklift and back to the bench, the Kunz 114 is an industry standard for quality and performance.

FAQ

Goatskin contains natural lanolin which keeps the leather soft and pliable. It also has a higher tensile strength per unit of thickness compared to cowhide, allowing for a thinner glove with better dexterity without sacrificing durability.

Yes, they are excellent for TIG welding due to their high dexterity and fit. However, they are not recommended for heavy Stick or MIG welding where higher heat and spatter protection is required.

In this context, 'NAV' refers to the Navy blue color of the hem binding, which is the industry-standard color code for Extra Large (XL) sizing.

A Keystone thumb is an inset thumb design that allows for the greatest range of motion and comfort. It is considered the most ergonomic thumb style for work gloves.

Measure the circumference of your hand around the palm (excluding the thumb) in inches. If the measurement is approximately 10-11 inches, the XL size is likely the correct fit.

It is generally not recommended to soak leather gloves in water as they can stiffen. If cleaning is necessary, use a specialized leather cleaner or saddle soap and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

No, the Kunz 114 is an unlined driver glove, which maximizes tactile sensitivity and breathability.
