Glove offers greater comfort, protection
The new Tillman 53 MIG glove is versatile enough to traverse multiple harsh work environments, while protecting hands. The 53 MIG glove has premium split leather on the back of the glove; the palm construction resists heat and abrasion and stays soft and pliable, even when hot. The glove is reinforced at the palm and back of fingers, and features a thumb strap for extra strength. There are functionally designed breaks in the leather for unrestrictive movement, reducing hand fatigue.
