Predator PRED6 Signature Goat Leather TIG Welding Gauntlets

The Predator PRED6 Signature Goat Leather TIG Welding Gauntlets are engineered specifically for professional fabricators requiring maximum tactile feedback without sacrificing protection. Made from high-grade, supple ivory goat hide, these gauntlets allow effortless feeding of fine filler rod and delicate torch control during high-precision TIG operations.

Designed with an ergonomic straight thumb and a reinforced leather thumb crotch, the PRED6 strengthens the highest-wear zone between the thumb and forefinger to prevent seam blowout during repetitive handling. The palm and fingers are lined with 100% breathable cotton—ensuring long-shift comfort while eliminating the melting risk associated with synthetic linings when exposed to extreme heat. Stitched entirely with ultra-durable, flame-retardant Twaron® aramid thread and paired with a heavy-duty split cowhide cuff, these gauntlets shield the wrists and forearms from radiant heat and light spatter.

Key Features & Benefits

• Supple Goat-Hide Construction: Delivers exceptional touch sensitivity and flexibility for feeding thin TIG wire and manipulating torch controls.
