Tillman High Heat Aluminzed Gloves, worth it?

High Heat : :
820BHP
14" AR back with aluminized Kevlar and Weldflex snap on ACK back-hand pad. Also available in left-hand only (820BHPL), replacement ACK backhand pad (820-558)

I need new gloves, due to carelessness. I have two holes in the right hand glove. I can see almost all of my index fingernail, and the side of the first knuckle. Right now I have pieces of a sock stuffed in it, with duck tape inside and outside...yeah. I changed the way I hold the stinger, and it seems to help but I'm still not comfortable with two huge holes in the glove. Plus spatter sometimes seems to shoot through the glove and gets embedded in my skin.

Looking around the internet, I found those aluminized Tillman gloves. Are they worth the 35$? I almost bought them, but something made me think it wasn't worth it.

cool gloves! never seen them before. Its usually cheaper to buy4 pairs of ten dollar gloves then to buy one expencive pair, cause gloves wear out, they just do, no matter how much you pay. ive used the aluminised glove covers before but they wear out too. helped the glove from shriveling up though.

It depends on what you're doing. If you never go over 200-250 amps they're overkill. High amp spray mig or something like that it they will help.

I'm using Stick right now, never usually go above 170. I was wondering how fast those gloves would wear out, too. I'll probably just get a cheaper pair then, thanks.

I have those gloves. For what you do, they are overkill. The heat resistance is better, but at the cost of freedom of movement.
They are meant for heavy wire fed work, such as innershield and dualshield fluxcore welding, or spray transfer mig, as was mentioned.

35 dollars isnt that bad if they last a long time

I'll prefer the norm... not flexible due to the extra protection... all glove is almost the same... unless you use it in a clean environment in your own shed... In a remote or open big workshop... it will wear soon enough...

They look very uncomfortable to me. I never buy cowhide gloves because they become hard in just a few days. I settled on Kunz, Black Stallion, or Tillman elk skin years ago.They are expensive but cheaper in the long run because they last so long. You can also rejuvinate them with WD-40 when they get stiff from heat and it doesn't work with cowhide gloves.

i have a pair of cowhide, hold the stinger in my right hand-left hand is completely shriveled from going over justwelded spots, right is almost new.
