K2983-XL - Lincoln Electric Premium Goatskin TIG Gloves, XL

Unmatched Comfort and Control for TIG Welders

When precision is paramount, the Lincoln Premium Leather TIG Welding Gloves (Model K2983-XL) deliver the performance professional welders demand. Designed for the artisan welder, these gloves combine luxury materials with industrial-grade durability to create a piece of personal protective equipment that feels more like a second skin than a bulky safety glove. If you are tired of fighting stiff gloves while trying to lay down perfect dimes, the K2983 is the upgrade your gear bag needs.

The secret to the K2983's performance lies in its hybrid leather construction. The hand portion is crafted from supple white top grain goatskin. This material is incredibly soft right out of the package, requiring zero break-in time. It allows you to feel the slightest feedback from your torch and filler rod, giving you total control over your puddle. For the cuff, Lincoln utilizes durable black split cowhide. This tougher leather provides the necessary rigidity to keep the cuff open for airflow and protects your wrists from the occasional pop or spark associated with TIG welding.

Smart Lining for Real-World Welding

Comfort is further enhanced by the intelligent lining system. We know that TIG welding generates significant radiant heat, especially on the back of your hand. To combat this, Lincoln includes a thin knit cotton liner on the top hand to insulate against the heat. However, the palm remains unlined. This design choice ensures that you don't lose that critical tactile feel where you need it most. You get heat protection where you want it and sensitivity where you need it.

Durability is not sacrificed for comfort. The gloves are stitched with high-strength Kevlar thread, which resists burning and rotting, ensuring your seams hold up long after other gloves would have fallen apart. The side of the hand features extra leather reinforcement to protect against abrasion as you drag your hand along the work surface—a common technique in TIG welding. With a padded palm for extra comfort and a Keystone thumb for natural movement, these gloves are built to help you weld better, longer.
