To ensure adequate protection from heat, flames, sparks, and weld spatter, ActivArmr 43-217 work gloves meet EN 12477 Type B standards. This makes them perfect for welding and thermal applications, as well as grinding, brazing, metal fabrication, and maintenance. For safer, more accurate welding, their long-split cowhide cuff provides additional forearm and wrist protection, and a three-dimensional thumb design gives wearers better dexterity. The premium full-grain goatskin, welted seams, and para-aramid thread of the ActivArmr 43-217 safety gloves also increase their toughness and wear resistance.
