West Chester 9401 Split Leather Welding Gloves

Product Description

The WEST CHESTER 9401 is a split leather welding glove built for professional welders who need durable hand protection during sustained arc and MIG welding operations. Constructed from russet and grey split leather, these gloves feature a reinforced thumb and Kevlar-sewn seams for added resistance to heat and abrasion at high-stress contact points. A standard sock lining provides an additional layer of thermal comfort during extended wear. This glove is a staple personal protective equipment item installed and issued by safety managers, shop supervisors, and welding professionals across fabrication and manufacturing environments.

These gloves are suited for general welding applications including MIG, stick, and light TIG work in both residential and commercial fabrication settings. The reinforced thumb construction addresses one of the most common wear points in welding gloves, making them appropriate for repetitive high-contact tasks such as wire feeding, torch handling, and material positioning. The sock-lined interior adds comfort during longer shifts.

Key Features

• Split leather construction in russet and grey for durability and heat resistance
• Reinforced thumb for extended wear life at a high-abrasion contact point
• Kevlar-sewn seams for improved seam strength and heat resistance
• Standard sock lining for thermal comfort during extended use
• Sold by the dozen, minimum order quantity of 6 dozen

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style welding glove suitable for standard MIG, stick, and light fabrication welding applications requiring split leather hand protection.

Installation Notes

Welding gloves should be inspected before each use for tears, holes, or compromised seams that could reduce protection. Replace gloves immediately if the leather is cracked, saturated with flammable material, or if seams are separating. Always ensure gloves are fully dry before use near open arc or flame. Proper glove fit is essential — gloves that are too loose can reduce dexterity and increase the risk of contact with hot surfaces.
