Goatskin gloves may only slightly beat out deerskin gloves for dexterity, and goatskin is the most abrasion-resistant leather available. It is naturally heat resistant, and when sewn with Kevlar® thread, works well for welding by protecting seams from sparks. The dexterity and fit are great benefits for all types of welding (MIG, TIG, etc.) at an affordable price. West Chester makes the IronCat® Style 86552 (M-2XL) Heavy Duty Grain Goatskin glove with 360 degree Kevlar® lining. This has a flexible form-fitting stretch spandex back with split-patch reinforcement on the palm and thumb saddle, as well as reinforced fingertips. It is ideal for manufacturing, utility work, plumbing and material handling with its ANSI 3 cut resistance.
