The Portwest A530 is a premium split leather gauntlet for welding and metal handling. The palm and thumb are reinforced, so the areas that grip and handle hot or rough metal get an extra layer of protection.
It is fully welted and sewn with para-aramid thread throughout, which helps the seams hold up to heavy use. The leather gives strong resistance to abrasion and tearing.
