Tegera tig gloves?

[hooblah]

I want the thinnest possible for maximum feel. They'll be used for mig and tig. They'll only get occasional use. I don't *usually* need to weld anything thicker than 6mm, most of the time it's 2-4mm.

It seems Tegera are quite popular. They're thin enough to ellow some feel, don't break the bank, and they're available in different sizes. Perfect.

What I can't figure out is the difference between the models. It would make sense that 118a are the lightest duty, but is that too light for what I need?

118a:

Not sure of the number but they do a really nice pair in kevlar goat skin. Black.
They are the best I have found for both tig and mig.
If you happen to be a size 10 let me know as I've got a load of them..

@hotponyshoes Are they 132a

 

[Red'n'Black]

The ones I bought were 130A, they seemed the most suitable for TIG in their catalogue.

Haven't had a chance to try them yet.

You want feel then I think Ultima Deerskin, for Tig, are hard to beat.

@hotponyshoes Are they 132a

I think the 132a is part goat, part cow.
I think the ones I have are all goat so a bit softer all round. I'll have a look...

Many thanks.

Odd numbering system. 126a might be the one to go for.

How on earth do you size hands? I have only known small medium and large. Lol

Many gloves come in a range of sizes other than S M L. I think size 8 is medium.

Just had a look in my glove pile and found size 9 is L and size 10 is XL

 

[Deepwinter]

130a are light weight Tig Gloves Type B very comfortable nice fit in a 9 for me.
The 132a and 134 are heavier Type A glove

I use Tegera, have their MIG and TIG gauntlets and really rate them. Not idea what numbers they are though

Don't think I've used my Tegera gloves for welding been used in the garden when spiky plants are involved, moving slabs, metal handling etc.

I used mine for stick and a go with flux core. They don't offer great protection for stick that's for sure.

Must say though, she has the right idea. I use tig gloves at work. They're quite resilient even against the likes of rose & blackberry, & much better for fit, feel & dexterity than traditional gardening type gloves. They're a good all-rounder.
